Maybe it's a little early to start this thread but I'm in the mood so...
August 13th will be the day of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games that return to Athens this year.
Let's pretend they'll get all the stadiums and the infrastructure ready in time (hell, there's got to be one functional gym in Athens whose roof doesn't leak when it's raining), will you watch live, will you stay informed about the Games ?
Are you excited or don't you even care about all the hoolabaloo ?
Are you rooting for your countrie's athletes or for any particular athletes no matter what country they're from ?
(But please also stay true to the Lit Olympics why are on their way and continue to be
)
So maybe I'll start with a little hommage to The Games:
'GIANT
To be a Giant. This has forever been our passion, this desire to be a Giant.
Not to stand on one's shoulders or to have one for a friend, though these may be fortunate things.
But to be one.
Giants step over barriers that seem never ending.
They conquer mountains that appear insurmountable.
Giants rise above fear.
Triumph over pain.
Push themselves and inspire others.
To be a Giant.
To do Giant things.
To take Giant steps.
To move the world forward.'
and
'RHYMES
They gather together thousands and thousands and thousands still more.
For sixteen straight days the stadiums roar.
They line all the fields.
They polish the courts.
A rainbow of colors together for sport.
They sprint and they jostle.
They jump and they shout.
They sometimes get hostile.
But they work it all out.
They smile.They laugh.
They learn life's lessons.
They respect one another regardless of weapons.
The big and the small together seem awkward.
But amazingly enough they push the world forward.
And when it's all over, it's as good as it gets.
A lifetime of memories with zero regrets.
Then they pack up the balls and roll up the mats.
Put on their best suits and finest of hats.
They all wave goodbye.
They hug and they kiss.
And you think that maybe.....
just maybe....
it could all be like this.'

I could live with that though.
