Run With The Torch

Watching the 2008 Olympics live broadcast before going to work rocks. I witnessed some incredible display of power, balance and plain awesomeness.
What's up: Chinese male gymnastics team (FUCK!!!), Michael Phelps + USA swimming team, Togo kayak medal man, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant...
Gonna try to find some vids, the Chinese dude at the ringz was unbelievable.

After watching the Olympics during breakfast comes a public transport trip to work = blending in with the Buurtslagers/Renmans/ASLK bag crowd. I actually saw a woman reading the Holy Bible this week and a cow in a 'pretveld'.

Karl Vannieuwkerke keeps bumming me out. So does Carl Huybrechts. <3 wikipedia crapping.



There seems to be a Carl/Karl fail curse on every big sports event. :-(
Keeping it well-balanced: Carl Lewis, Chasarion & Carl Crack.

"Straight out, I'm heading for a miracle
Pushing the edge making it subliminal
To loose or win that's not the essence
Teamwork makes for us all the difference
Although you cannot tell me
They're all jokers of some training therapy
Programmed to go for only one thing
Gold medals hanging on a string
Gotta run
Gotta run, run with the torch yeah
So long ago all watching the TV-screens
Hearts beating like you never ever ever seen
Eternal flame burns in the heart
But every four years it glows for Olympiad
See them skating with the smile on the ice
A kind of magic straight out of paradise
Programmed to go for only one thing
Gold medals hanging on a string
Gotta run
Gotta run, run with the torch yeah
One thing's for sure
Winning can be beautiful
Competition is real
And totally natural
But be honest with yourself
When you're a part of the game
Playing on dope just ain't the same
Tears of pain and tears of joy
It doesn't really matter
As long as you enjoy
Programmed to go for only one thing
Gold medals hanging on a string
The need for sport is driven by passion
United all over in colours and fashion
Gotta run
Gotta run, run with the torch yeah"
