What a brilliant idea.<BR/><BR/>I get conflicted about the olympics too, but some of those competitors just slay me with their talent and drive.eishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309571088586091875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-29674097594109183712008-08-09T02:57:00.000-07:002008-08-09T02:57:00.000-07:00I love this baseball/God poem.

It's brilliant! <BR/><BR/>I admit to enjoying watching the eye candy of the Olympics even as I feel guilty for the overwhelming cost to the athletes, the people of China, and the environment. It becomes obscene when one really looks closely and realizes it is orchestrated to sell us more of what is already choking us. That said, it is still beautiful and amazing what they have done.Andromeda Jazmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355192738014962965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-13808033073239902332008-08-08T08:59:00.000-07:002008-08-08T08:59:00.000-07:00I'm not a fan of the Olympics at all.

Though there are amazing stories that come out of these games, of endurance and overcoming obstacles to arrive, there are also some pretty dark things lurking that have to do with human nature, and the drive to win -- and driving others. I do like playing games, though, and finding 'Base,' and coming home at the end.tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-70682079095628805452008-08-08T07:48:00.000-07:002008-08-08T07:48:00.000-07:00I like the winter sports so much better than the s...I like the winter sports so much better than the summer stuff. (I don't really care for swimming or track & field or basketball or marathons, although gymnastics and diving is fine. But I'm a HUGE sucker for watching ski jump and luge and bobsled and curling and skating.)<BR/><BR/>Loved the poem, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-52954753057261553932008-08-08T07:18:00.000-07:002008-08-08T07:18:00.000-07:00PERFECT pairing of video and poem.
