Witnessing Amazing


The Guy Is A Fish.

Michael Phelps.
What a specimen to behold. I feel priveleged to have witnessed the MOST DOMINANT athlete of our time do his thing over the past week (Sorry, Michael Jordan of the 90s Bulls was not OUR time since most of us have to watch ESPN Classic, NBA TV, or some sort of "Greatest Moments" Countdown to witness his best moments. We unfortunately got him as a 2000s Wizard..and Tiger Woods is NOT an athlete..UGH!! *note to self..publish post about Tiger Woods not being an athlete*). He won 8 Gold Medals in 8 different races, breaking 7 world records. He won close races (.01 second margin of victory) he dominated races he won indivial races, he won team relays, he did it all. His greatness commands the world's attention (Much like the 90s Jordan). Although I do have friends who are competitive swimmers, I'm not exactly a die-hard fan of the sport. However, I felt compelled to drop everything I was doing and tune in to each of his races, out of fear that I may miss out on a single moment of greatness. He is the definition of amazing, and I feel blessed (extreme, I know, but I can't think of a better word at the moment) to have witnessed it.



And Again..It Doesn't Hurt That He's Nice To Look At.
*Big Ears Aside Lol*








IN ADDITION.......


There is another amazing moment that happened tonight at the Olympics which is SORT OF being outshined by Phelps-Mania...

Jamaica's (hence the color scheme) Usain "Lightning" Bolt SMASHED the World Record For The 100 meter dash, which names the world's fastest man. He finished with a time of
9.69 seconds
The race wasn't even close. Take a look at the photo finish...

If you look closely at the picture, the other guys are running their little hearts out. Not Bolt..he's kinda skipping lol..
The thing that made the race even More amazing was the fact that, about 80 meters into the race, Bolt looked to his right and left and realized that there was NOBODY around him so...
HE SLOWED DOWN, JOGGED THRU THE FINISH LINE AND BEGAN CELEBRATING EARLY.
LOL..how embarassing was that for everyone who was running SOOOOOO hard lmfao. OMG..that was theeee funniest sports moment I've seen in a long time..typical Jamaican (yes, I'm allowed to say that lol). I just wanna know how great his time would have been had he not slowed down, but I'm sure glad he did, cuz that was a GREAT laugh lol.
