My olympic connection

I have been trying to do this all week. Every time I try, I log on, read a few emails which consist mostly of what every person on multiply has posted on someone elses blog or page. some of these i just delete, cus I have never heard of these names before and I may be tired. Which brings me to why i cant seem to get this this far, Im tired. I get to my page and by that time, I am doing the head bobbin thing. my eyes are rollin back in my head and It s time to head off to bed. I havent responded to any emails or comments on anyones pages. At that point, i am shutting down and heading off to bed.

So now I am here. and i need to tell you something, and this is really exciting folks. grab on to your puters, cus this is cool. ............I have a connection to this years summer olympics in china. kinda. here we go, follow me now. the daughter of one of the guys I work with, is part of the only non professional band that is over there for the games. there are about 2000 students from all over the world in this band. of that, about 600 of them are from the us. most of them are from the central valley and the San Francisco Bay area. about 200 of them are from washington state.  So there ya go, I know it was pretty exciting and way cool, that is my connection.

I askeed if they were there yet, and he told me they were. They were allowed to play in tianamin square. I really dont think I spelled that right. they are the only non professional band allowed to play there. They also have played on the great wall. It took about 25 buses to get all of them there, and they they all had to lug their instruments up all the stairs to the top of the wall. I just think this is so cool. The band is out of one of the high schools here in modesto, Davis high. i just think this is really cool.

so here I am. its almost 9 pm. I have a meeting tonight at 11, and an appointment with the therapist at 1045. i suppose i should get ready for work. i still havent eatin anything and im gettin kinda hungry. I slept really late today, about 8 whole hours. that is always good. Oh hey, guess whats been rolling through my brain latley. I think im gonna expand the gate. i keep thinking about that. I think there is something else going on that I need to put down. we will see. Haley, if yu have gotten this far in this incredibly boring post, the gate is a story i wrote back in 360 land.

ok, that is the end of this one. see ya all later.

  1. Yippeeee...the Gate! I remember that! The ending leaves it open for a whole host of new story lines!

    I heard on the radio the other day that we all are only 6 steps away from anyone one else in the world. Its called 'Six degrees of separation' and it refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from each person they know and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people they know, then everyone is an average of six "steps" away from each person on Earth. Obviously it really works because you have just described how you are connected to the Olympics!

    Glad you got a lot of sleep!
