Olympic Skier Disqualified
by 
For all of you who know my thoughts regarding constant talk of snowboarding, I found this refreshing piece of information to still keep the winter conversation going. NY winning the bid for the olympics in 2012 is a huge deal, but with the $5 billion worth of stadium building required for it to work, it may sound a little ridiculous.
We take the olympics somewhat seriously, but I was talking about it with some Europeans and they said how happy everyone gets if their country wins just ONE gold medal. I thought that was odd, because doesn't the United States win like 30 gold medals every time? Personally, not much of my time is spent thinking about the number of gold medals, but I do see all those stories in Readers Digest about how the athletes had to overcome obstacles such as family deaths, car accidents, and lungs collapsing. Here's a really touching story about someone along those lines.

Jahanna told me I have to start contraversy on here...like, say something completely ridiculous and people will get mad and post their thoughts on everything from toast to flannel pajamas...ok here's one...I think Chinese food secretly makes you hungrier!
it most definetely does. like when you get the noodles and you slurp them up, you just need so many more noodles and then you are not full. and all the chicken with the spices just makes you wanna not eat more and then you're still hungry but you don't wanna eat.
that's the thing, you slurp them up. You're getting all this air inside of you and not really that much food. Once you burp you realize "Hey! They're isn't that much food in my stomach! I've been tricked. Let me eat more" (yes it sounds stupid but I figured I'd help Dan out with this sad news story) =)
thank you! my next news story will be MUCH better, i promise.
