Oh curling...........



Seems like everyone has been into curling this Winter Olympics, huh? I think it has to do with Team Fenson's Bronze metal win at the Torino Olympics 4 years ago.



Ah, well USA, we fell a little short of a metal this Olympics... and when I saw a little, I mean a lot. I AM DISAPPOINT. But what can ya do?

Both the USA men's and women's teams have been taking a lot of hits, props for staying positive. Truly, none of us can imagine the pressure you guys are under. I really hope curling gets bigger and bigger, and we can get some more support in the USA for our curling teams.



Ah well... it's been fun. The women's metal games are on Friday, and the men's metal games are on Saturday. With US out of it I need to decide who I'm going to root for. Right now I know on the men's side, I'll be pushing for Norway. No explanation needed.

CURLING!!!

AH! YOU DO NOT KNOW MY LOVE FOR THIS SPORT! 4 years ago I fell in love with curling after watching Pete Fenson's USA men's team win a bronze metal at the 2006 Winter Olympics. I was in high school back then and had the luxury of my parent's DVR, so I never missed a game.
Now in 2010, we have a different story. School and work leave me little time to actually watch TV, and even if I did have the time the networks that cover the Olympics of course give the worst time slots to curling. Luckily, I've been able to catch a few games on the internet. Hopefully I'll be able to watch some more because the opportunity to watch curling on TV really only comes once every 4 years. It's so weird how I get addicted to this game! After I starting watching it 4 years ago I couldn't stop thinking about it, and now 4 years later I'm back in the mindset. A local curling club is having an open house where they teach people to curl this Saturday and next Saturday for free. Maybe I'll push myself to go and learn to curl. Ah well, for now I'll just dream about going home tonight where I'll ignore my reading for my classes, maybe make Tofurky for dinner, and watch curling! Let's go team USA! Don't shame Pete Fenson's 2006 team! Let's win a metal!
