Awkwardly excited about the Olympics.

So the Olympics are under way, well the football is anyway, and the ceremony is in (about) 24 hours time. There's little you can do about it now. I must admit that even until a week ago I wasn't bothered - but now? IT' THE MOTHERFUCKIN' OLYMPICS EVERYONE! I am now ashamedly excited.

I do of course sympathise with the olympophobes that remain. And I have a confession to make - the Olympics in Britain is basically my fault. In year 5, I wrote the IOC a letter, one week before we were awarded the games, to ensure the games came to Britain. In my defence I was forced to write, along with the rest of 5VW, by my teacher but, admittedly, I did put all my persuasive juices into the letter and, therefore, it was undoubtedly me who stole the Olympics off of Paris. So for that I apologise for the Olymposceptics.

But lets not beat about the bush - they're hear now and I'm buzzing. I don't want to be but I am. I'm so buzzing in fact that, when inspecting the schedules for Saturday morning across the BBC's 24 dedicated channels (24 dedicated channels filled with live feeds - how fucking cool is that?), I found myself exclaiming "oh shit, the basketball clashes with the archery!".

Hmmm, what to say now? I normally have a point to make when I blog - the fact I didn't think of one just shows how fuckin' buzzin' I am!

I will now fill out the blog with some intermittent random sentences.

Did you know?
- The Nazis are to thank for Olympic football. Not originally but it had been abolished due to the emergence of the world cup but Hitler's government realised that to make any money they needed the ticket sales generated by football and so re-introduced it for the 1936 games.
- The Nazis invented the Olympic torch relay. In the past, the flame was picked up in Greece and dropped off in the host city but it was the Nazi's idea to get people to dick about with it.
- I've run out of things to say.

Goodbye.
