Liars, Cheaters, and America.

Ok, I take back Spain having bad sportsmanship. WE have bad sportsmanship.

For all of you who don't know, we lost to China in gymnastics. K? So, RIGHT AFTER we lost, Martha Karolyi, the team co-ordinator, says that it wasn't our fault that we lost. She said that they called Alicia Sacramone to do the balance beam, and didn't put her name on the board. She had to wait to do her routine because everyone went to commercials at that time. Which is expected when you go to a national competition like that. They said that she was prepared to do the job, and the wait THREW HER OFF. Ok, I'm sorry, but waiting shouldn't throw you off like that.

If making fun of Chinese is bad, then saying that it's their fault that you lost is worse. Espically RIGHT AFTER the winners were named. They could have said something about it earlier, but no they didn't.

Am I being too harsh? If you want to get the full story look on here: http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/news?slug=afp-oly2008gymnasticswomenteamusa&prov=afp&type=lgns

It's the article that I got this from, but I think I've pretty sumed it up here. But Am I being to harsh?

And So...The Race Begins

Coma by Alex Garland was one of the greatest books I've ever read. In it, this guy goes into a coma, and in this dream-like state, he realizes that he is in fact in a coma. His dream guy goes around trying to find something that will wake him up from this state, and after awhile he does.

Now, the purpose of that paragraph. You all dream right? Dreams aren't real right? Well, what if they were real? Your dreams could be another version of you, living in another world that you can access only when you sleep. And the dreams you have are snapshots of what happens in their lives, even the wierd ones. For all we know, the wierd dreams we have could be normal to them. What if everytime you fall asleep, you see another world with another you? Wouldn't that be grand?

Yea, you see what happens when I think?

Ok, so today, I think I'm going to shake it up a bit. Imma post a poem on here today. It's one of my favorites that I've written, and one of the very few good ones.

My Hell

A heartbreak of the worst degree,

My heart he did shatter.

And I only wish that he could see,

All the pieces fall and clatter.

Leaving a hole so huge,

I can feel it in my soul.

And in my heart he did leave,

A big, black, empty hole.

An emptiness eternally there,

A void so large and vast.

To which nothing can compare,

A curse upon me he did cast.

Upon your love,

I'm forced to dwell.

Hi, my name's Kristen,

Welcome to my hell.

Spain's Racisim

The Spanish basketball team posed for a picture before the games started. They appeared to be slanting their eyes, imitating the Chinese. They say that they were just poking fun with them, but that doesn't matter. The fact is that this is poor sportsmanship, and just plain rude. I mean, they are hosting the Olympic Games for Christ's sake! I wouldn't be surprised if some mad Chinese dude kills them for doing that. This is a reflection of how stupid, insensitive, and how indecent people can be.

So readers, do you think they were just joking around, or being racist?
