Wow it seems like the Olympics have not only been a test of physical stamina but also have been a drain on mental agility too. (Please see previous blog entry.) Sven Kramer skated to a victory in the Men's 10,000m Speed Skating event in Vancouver only to be disqualified for not making a lane change, in other words he zagged when he should have zigged. The part I don't get is that yes his coach did signal to him to switch lanes incorrectly, but he states that he knew in his heart something wasn't right and he didn't check himself!?! Hold it a second here, this is Sven Kramer, he is more machine than human as his endurance has shown in the past, he is the equivalent of a human computer, he has this down to a science he claims to be the best in what he does and he messes up and misses a lane change and lays the full blame on his coach even though he knows it is wrong? Come on, WAKE UP! This isn't the first time something like this has happened and it sure won't be the last time either. Yes the Men's 10,000m can be a bit a monotonous, after all it is 25 chest im/exploding laps on the big track with the skaters changing from outer to inner lanes on the back stretch each lap. How hard is it to keep track of inside/outside? Or as I am thinking was your mind on something else like how to spend all the extra endorsement money you were going to receive from wining another Gold Medal? This is another example of Not Counting Your Chickens Till They Hatch, coming back to bite your backside!
Wow, I never would have thought that I would actually write these next two words, 'The Bachelor'. But I did just write them didn't I? Having maybe seen a total of 5 minutes of this show I don't claim to be knowledgeable at all but apparently during each season of this ABC reality series they bring the girls together for a special 'Women Tell All' episode and re-hash and trash each other, (a good time is had by all! yeah right?) over the previous season. After watching the highlights here ('Monday's Recap' also includes a recap of "American Pickers
1"), it is undeniable that Rozlyn's reality address is nowhere near this Universe. It is always a shame to see someone mind a waste and waste a mind. Ce la vie!
