The Olympics

Ahhhh.....the Olympics are just around the corner. How can you not love the Olympics? The best athletes in the world gather to battle it out every four years in what is easily the most magnificent and thrilling sporting drama the world at large is entitled to see. The World Cup places a measly and distant second.

There is no other time that the citizens of this planet can sit back and watch the best athletes in the world compete against each other on a truly global scale. How often do you get to see the best javelin throwers in the world compete? The spectrum of athletics is truly mind boggling.

It is also a testament to power of the human spirit that we gather as a planet to celebrate and compete in the spirit of brotherhood and peace. It makes our planet a better and more understanding place for ten glorious days. I love it almost as much as Christmas!

Remember to take some time out to watch and appreciate some of these supremely dedicated athletes who are showcased for us to see only once every four years!

Till next time.
