Running on empty... update Jack - Ok, screw that. The Olympics had some really great moments last night, I hope everyone got to see them. I'm not a fan of figure skating by any means, but what happened last night with Sarah Hughes was nothing short of amazing. Basically, she was coming into competition in fourth place overall and the third place American. Well yesterday she and her trainer beefed up her program both techincally and artistically and kept working at it. Well last night, she skated her ass off, Michelle Kwan and the Russian chick had some screwups in their performances, and she ended up with gold! Everyone loves rooting for an underdog, and with all of the ridiculous amount of press on Michelle Kwan, while I feel bad for her in probably her last Olympics, it was refreshing to see the American nobody really expected to take a chance and win. Kind of shows the American spirit and all that jazz. Oh and here's something neat. Movie: Let that be a lesson to you, boys and girls. Don't ever argue with the big dog, because the big dog is always right.
