i almost know michael phelps.

as some of you may know i was on the swim team in high school.
here is a picture me with the senior girls after league finals.

also on the swim team at my hs was junior scott (tyler) clary.
we were not friends and he probably doesn't even remember me, but this is just my shameless name dropping.

he went on to swim and Michigan University where Phelps is a assiastant coach. Scott also tried to qualify for the olympics finishing third (only the top 2 go).
and apparently scott and michael are friends. like michael picks scott up from the airport and stuff like that.

so that is how i almost know the great michael phelps.

it started 8-8-08.

my first olympic memory is of the 1996 ATL olympics.
i watched a lot of gymnastics that summer and i even got an olympic gymnast barbie.yah it was pretty legit.

so basically i love the olympics. they are just so exciting.
i love watching sports that only get media attention every four years.
i love turning on the tv and getting to watch a water polo game.

the mens 4x100 relay tonight was so exciting!!!
seriously, does it get any better than that?
