The Olympics are here (08.08.08 )

Heres why the 2008 Olympics are good (and why I smell Gold)



•USA Mens Basketball=KOBE BRYANT,Dwayne Wade,L.James,Chris Paul,Jason Kidd,Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh,Tayshaun, Boozer, Chris Bosh,Carmelo, Michael Redd and Deron Williams



•The best beach volleyball womans duo in history. We have them...Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh


•Michael Phelps. The kid isn't human. he is a fish. Go Phelpasaurs! (sorry Jon, I had to use your nickname just once on Michael)





Bonus, it'll be fun to watch:
Spain's Pau Gasol. (Basketball)
China's Yao Ming (Basketball)
Jamaica's Usain Bolt (Track and Field)
China's Liu Xiang (Track and Field)

Although this has been a particularly sticky Olympic situation with the whole communist government and all, but we support a communist government everytime we buy an iPhone or a pair of cheap sunglasses. (or make a trip to Cuba)

I find this a little Disturbing, but how else did they come up with that funny logo?


An Architectural Olympic challenge? Which wins the gold?

GOLD

Quite the building... (you know how everything in this country is phallic? Well, I think in China, its opposite)

SILVER

Say hello to the Birds Nest. Another Venue for Athletic Events at the Olympics.

BRONZE

Let the Games begin!

California State Univerisity Long Beach has one of the most interesting pieces of architecture in all of the city and maybe even Southern California. Its called "The Pyramid" and it is sexy.
I documented the sports arena in full swing last night as LB took on BYU in a mens volleyball match.
Long Beach ended up winning all 3 matches, they will go head to head again tonight. (7pm)

Take a look.

Josh Riley rises above the net for one of his 8 kills

Paul Lotman can jump. He goes up for one of his 18 kills for the night (Ave 6 per game)
