The ceremony was very nice indeed...I loved it

I'll probably watch the swimming, but I'll be more focused on the soccer. Especially since my boy, Brian McBride, is the captain for the US team.

Tried to tape the opening ceremonies....my VCR just pwned me >_<

That opening ceremony will be a tough act to follow when England hosts it next time around. And most of it was done by performers. I couldnt believe that the printing press thingy was done by people. That was damn impressive.

So my friends and I watched swimming before we went clubbing (cause most of us were swimmers XD), and it was amazing.

Michael Phelps delivered. I wanted Lochte to get second, but it's not a big deal. Bronze at the Olympics is still really beastly.

The opening ceremony was indeed beautiful and mind-blowing! Especially the lighting of the Olympic Torch. Watching the nations of the world coming together for the Olympics gives me quite a good feeling. The young boy that hung out with Yao Ming at the event was quite touching.

The Olympic sports are great to watch. Especially fencing and volleyball.

As a side, I did this neat mock-ad for the Olympics, based on one of my all-time favorite animated films:
