Pretty Sweet

I am one of the 35 million Canadian citizens that get to say that I lived through watching the Winter Olympics on home territory; and if you ask me, that is pretty sweet. The Olympics happen every two years, and it alternates between summer and winter. A ton of countries put in a lot of money to bid for the right to host the games, and what are the chances that someone can say they'll get to experience history.

I think that one of the sweetest things that I get to tell a lot of people is that I lived through the change into the new millenium. A lot of the kids that I work with now are born in the new millenium, so telling them I was there when the calender hit 2000 was a pretty sweet thing. Granted, that I wasn't quite old enough to experience it in full fledge, but it was still a pretty sweet thing to do.

Well, I admit that I feel guilty for skipping out on the congregational meeting to come home to catch the Olympic game. But it being that this probably won't happen again for at least another twenty years, I had to make the exception. It's really sweet to be able to say that I witnessed Canada win the most gold medals in one single Winter Olympics; it's really sweet to be able to say that I saw the first Canadian gold being won on home soil. It's also really sweet to be able to say that I was caught in all of this hype that was trapped in a nation that was waiting for the right time to be able to arise and show the world who we are. All in all, it was pretty sweet.

Sam Gagner will be in the next Winter Olympics in Sochi (=

Oh yeah, and where in the world did February go? I have to stop procrastinating, because it remains my biggest weakness, haha.
