Where The Eff Is My Mouse??
So, I lost my mouse. Because I decided one day, that a wireless keyboard and mouse would be awesome, I am now paying for my mistake by tabbing my way through the internet. It's really frustrating because the tab always takes a hundred button mashes before going exactly where I want it to go! I know I could have waited until the mouse was found before writing a blog, but I really needed to write about something, and the shitty part is, now that I'm finally here, type type typing away, I can't remember what it is that I wanted to write about! So let's talk about Canada. We won 14 gold medals. Yeah so the USA beat everyone in collected medals all around, but beat everyone in collected gold medals, so that means we're the best. I'll admit, I didn't watch the Olympics as much as I would have liked this year, but when I did watch, I cried. The hockey game was beautiful. Both teams were fantastic and I'm really glad they didn't do a shootout because I don't really think those are fair, especially to the poor goalie. And after the game, CTV thought it would be a good idea to show Canadians what defeated Americans look like in front of the whole world. Awesome. I did start to feel bad for them, seeing them on the verge of tears and that goalie feeling like the worst shit he'd ever felt like, but then I remembered that I hate the States, and so I felt better. We broke the record for most gold medals by one country, and broke the record for most medals from a host country. I watched montage after montage and listened to O Canada a hundred times and cried tears of pride and patriotism. I was so happy, until Nickelback came along, and Avril Lavigne, then Simple Plan....and Hedley. What the fuck? Neil Young, Alanis Morissette, Marie Mai and then that?? It was hard to keep my Canadian head up high while watching the rest of the world go, "Uhhh, k?" I was telling Landon, that that is the closest anyone will ever be to partying with the world. We probably didn't need to send as many athletes as we did, and we probably didn't need to spend as much money as we did, but it was awesome. Partying with the world, and Simple Plan.
