Bring Home the Gold!!

It is literally one of my favorite times right!!  First of all, it is summer, and I LOVE SUMMER!!  I love the hot hot weather and the sun and fun summer drinks and bbqs and the list goes on!  But this year, 2012 is the year of the Summer Olympics in London and I am so EXCITED about it!

What are my favorite events you ask??  Well, clearly, like every other girl in the world, I love to watch Gymnastics.  Those teenie tiny little girls are freaking unbelievable.  Of course I like to watch Women's soccer (USA just beat France 4-2 if you were interested).  And I think my all time favorite sport to watch is Sand Volleyball.  I mean, are you kdding me?  After the last 3 Summer Olympics I had it set in my mind that I was going to be a pro volleyball player...you know, training for something like that at 24 years old is pretty standard right??  I guess I will settle with watching them play on my couch, with a cold beverage in my hand.  I hope everyone else is as excited as I am for the games.  I literally cannot wait for it to get in full swing.  If you happen to be working and would like updates on what is going on throughout the day with the Olympics, feel free to follow me on twitter...@mkrybicki... I am sure I will be tweeting about it!!  You can visit this this site to find schedules and results for the London games!!  Cherrio my good friends!!!

Whoa....

I would like to apologize for my long absence!!!  I need to make a much better effort to blog.  I find myself jotting down post ideas in RANDOM places and then alas, never remembering a) where I wrote them down and b) to actually log on and post something!  I promise, I am going to get better:)  (like anyone really cares!)
Lately, I have had something on my mind that has been driving me CRAZY and it all stems from Facebook.  Don't get me wrong, I am an avid facebook member and enjoying seeing what is going on in people's lives that I care about.  But my goodness, some people have taken it WAY TO FAR!!!  I would have never thought Facebook would be a platform for people's ridiculous rants about the most controversial subjects.  In my opinion, wrong forum!!  I don't really care about Billy's opinion on...well on anything now that I think about it!  I guess the biggest frustration for me is when someone posts about something that is truly controversial and then almost appears offended when people disagree or call them out on their comments.  Uh, shouldn't that be expected??  Differing opinions are what makes this world go round!  I know I can always hide this stuff or unfriend people but it is like a car accident...I can't take my eyes away from it!  I have a feeling that as we get closer to the election, this is only going to get worse!  I also don't like when people use Facebook in a hurtful way.  I have a very great friend who has fallen victim to this and it makes me CRAZY!  Not only did said person make her feel stupid, he really hurt her fellings as well!!!  NOT COOL!!  It is really easy to have a strong opinion on something from behind your computer.  If you want people to respect you and your opinions, I suggest not posting them all over facebook!  It makes you look immature and kind of silly!!  If you want a platform to express your opinions...START A BLOG!
I am not saying I am going to go and deactivate my account by any stretch, but these days, I am enjoying Twitter mch more!  Hard to get on a soapbox with only 140 character!!
Hope evreyone has a great Thursday!
