08.08.08

Friday, August 8th, 2008

Well, you guessed it, today is 08.08.08! It must be a special day, so special that my work (a popular electrical retailer) will be open 8am-8pm. Shit. Forutantely I only have to work the tail end of 4pm-8pm. I personally think that an 8-hour sale would’ve sufficed, but noooo.

Beijing Olympics are starting today too. Well, the opening ceremony at least. Hopefully we’ll be able to see it through all the smog. I really don’t know how all of our wonderful athletes are expected to perform in such bad conditions. Some athletes, such as Lee Troop are trainging for the heat and humidity. And I also have a feeling he is the same bloke who has spent the past 6-7 months sleeping in a chamber with less oxygen than normal so his body can adapt to it, like any mammal.

Or, they could just pull out, and not even bother risking their health for the Olympic glory - but I really doubt any athlete who has been training for the past number of years to go for Gold would consider bailing. China just needs to sort it’s shit out and prove to the western world that the east can put on a good show at a world class-level.

Anywho, I still have a few stories to tell, but I easily get caught up with uni and work… and on top of all that I’m outright lazy. Right now I’m at uni with a good 30 mins to kill, so I thought a blog post quickly was in order.

I’m off, shit to do, people to see.
