Michael Phelps in his element (via Flickr user vironevaeh)
Its official. Michael Phelps is a beast. While watching him isn’t as much “Go USA!” as it is “Break another record dude!”, it is still exciting as anything else on tv right now and totally worth all the hoopla of the Olympic coverage.
I have a lot of respect for the guy. Any person who chooses to dedicate so much time and energy into one thing in their life certainly is crazy in a good way! I am also crazy as you all know, but in the super-creative-wants-to-try-lots-of-new-things-so-he’s-never-the-best-at-anything crazy, which is the exact opposite kind of crazy as Phelps, but that we’re both crazy means we have lots in common.
And that is another reason why the Olympics are so dang cool, because awesome sports like swimming, diving, and volleyball that are never on TV are actually on a major network and hella-exciting to watch!
Back on topic, I totally hope Phelps can pull it off and get 8 Golds. I’ll be rooting for you man!
