OOC: The date is October 2, 2009.
So, I just checked the Drudge Report this afternoon (and its still that boring 1997 background as always
) I am happy as ever. Apparently after what "intensive" lobbying by President Obama, the USA got the 2016 Olympics. I am just so ecstatic, interesting hat Rio came in second place but I'm not surprised. Of course I am not surprised that Obama took this month to go on his tour of Europe (the first time since his Berlin speech in the campaign). I mean, he spent a week in Denmark, DENMARK for Christ's sake!! I mean, its obvious why he went there, not just to meet with every mayor in the country (although it did make great photo ops for them, without a doubt).
Anyways, am I surprised about them making the Olympics, no, bu you know what I'm suprised about, skateboarding and poker, Texas hold-em and seven car stud, of course, have been put into the Olympics with mens AND womens events.
What got me was that the IOC and World Cyber Games had some sort of a deal. Yes, I can't believe it either, but video games is a demonstration event too. I saw that Halo 3, Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Age of Empires III and Warcraft III were all on there. I just thought it was strange that they made a womens' event for video games.
Yes, they're only demonstration events, but still...
I AM SOOO PUMPED FOR 2016
(luckily I'll have enough money to go with my new job
)
