My California

The Games are ready exciting with records being broken day by day and hour by hour.  Phelps is really awsome.

Phelps just need one more gold to award him as the best athletes of all times. What he done is really great. Steve want to become another Phleps? Are Steve really can swim Alex? hehe..

Actually, I was just joking with Steve. As for him swiming... well, he has this kiddie pool in his backyard....??

I wonder why everyone, you included, seems to loose sight of the real spirit of the modern Olympiads: The important thing is to compete, not to win... Just strive too go higher, longer and faster... everything else will come into focus.
 
I dislike it intensely to see people brickering about a bunch of pieces of metal... gold or whatever.
 
Look at the Paralympic Games which will be held right after the Olympiad and using the same venues.... hundreds, if not thousands, of handicapped girls, women, boys and men will be taking part with no other purpose than having fun and a good time... For them, medals are inconsequential. What counts is friendship, sportsmanship and all those little things the rest of us seem to think are not as important as winning a gold medal.
 
You want to correct me on this? Go ahead. You will never win this one, dude.:haha:

Anybody here watching Olympic 2008 which currently held in Beijing. I'm sure United state will collect a lot of gold huh.. for me from Malaysia just only left one hope now after our badmintons star go to final today. Hope that will be one gold for us. I pray for that..:haha:

:80:Here we go again.... medals, medals, medals.  Hmmm I could fashion some gold medals for you... out of gold paint sprayed soda pop bottle caps..... hehehehe
 
Really, as I commented before, medals are not important. The important thing is to COMPETE!

My last chance to see some History today. The first gold for Malaysia from Badminton. Yeah.. come on guys give us some support.. heh.. United States currently in the second place at Medal Standing Table. So that place surely is yours.. I dont think they can beat China.

Hey, I am not trying to be nasty. Just saying my own opinions (like you, I am quite opinionated). So dont take it personally, ok? :haha: I love having you on the forum and giving a different perspective to things.... even if they are not about California.
 
In fact, am planning to create a section for stuff like this so we dont lose the California focus.
 
Thanks for being with us, nuaeman.  By the way, how about inviting your friends to join us? It would be great if they do.

Yeah ok alex.. I understand what you mean.. because we never taste a gold in Olympic so I admit I'm quite excited to see some history. You can say whatever you want to me.. I dont mind..
