Weekend
August 11, 2012
The weekend is here not that it makes much difference to me and Jeff everyday is a weekend to us LOL. Well they’ve made up their minds about Camilo’s birthday we’re going to his house where Olga’s cooking lunch and I guess a little cake. He’s going to be nineteen nothing special about that around here, when 10 year olds can walk into a store and buy a six-pack of beer. The Colombians got a gold medal in BMX bike riding( which I didn’t even know was an Olympic sport) and you can see the difference between winning a medal in the US and winning one for Colombia. In Colombia they spent over an hour of their nightly news show showing and talking about it, where as in America except for the winner’s home town it really isn’t that big a deal. It seems America once again takes something for granted they shouldn’t and makes itself seem a little more arrogant to the rest of the world. Every one of their eight medals is celebrated like it was supposed to be there are parties in Medellin and the athlete’s home towns bigger than the one we reserve for the World Series or Super Bowl winners I think that’s kind of sad and I hope you guys agree. You remember yesterday when I said there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, well today there’s nothing but clouds in the sky. Maybe it will rain and maybe it won’t that’s weather for you. Time for me to start to enjoy the weekend till tomorrow CIAO
