Go for the Gold

Everytime I watch the Olympics, I think of two things. First, that every GD man in America should have a set of abs like Michael Phelps! Hubba Hubba Yum-o. I would eat chocolate syrup off that man and even lick the pool that collected in his belly button. His ears may be bigger than Will Smith, Barack Obama, and my cousin Paul put together but hot damn you can have some Dumbo ears when you're sporting man pecs like that!

Next, I think of the 1988 games in Seoul, South Korea. To be honest, the only medalist I really remember is FloJo. But I remember watching the swimming and dreaming of how that would be me one day. I was eight years old and, at that time, my biggest dream was to one day swim in the Olympics. I hadn't had any formal training since swim classes as a pre-schooler and my folks didn't exactly have the funds to spring for a coach and everything that goes into it. The farthest I made toward my dream was racing my brother in the pool on vacation. But I won the gold medal everytime that way. ;)

One hour of swimming at a moderate level burns more than 500 calories. Maybe it's time to once again pick up my favorite sport! I doubt I'll ever make it to the Olympics (hello, Dara Torres!) but maybe I could find a coach who looks like Michael Phelps! ;)
