Another month went by. As they said yesterday at the closing ceremonies, only 880 days until the London Summer Olympics.

It's a good thing there is always something to look forward to.

But since the ancient seers forewarned us that the world will come to an end between December 21 and 23 in 2012, is it not kind of premature to prepare for something that may never happen?

Maybe that is why they awarded the next Winter Olympics to Sochi in Russia knowing that it can never be. I looked it up in Wikipedia and it seems Sochi is almost as tropical as Miami and I can not imagine Miami ever getting the Winter Games.

They probably thought, hey let's make those Russians happy and pocket those bribes now because this thing will never be.

I was watching the Closing Ceremonies last night. It was so boring that I could not find the words for it. This guy who produced that said it would not be like the one in Beijing but it would be superb. Well, he was half right. It was not like the one in Beijing.

This like the Opening Ceremony too, was like an ugly baby which has a face only a mother could love. It made no sense at all, the sound was poor and the entire show was extremely boring. Sincerely hope, in case the end of the world gets postponed, the London one will be better.

Another thing that bugged me. All these Hollywood people who forever lived in this country came out and waived their Canadian identities and tried to impress upon anybody who cared what great Canadians they were.

Then, why didn't they stay in Canada if that is such a great country according to them?

These people are just like the athletes. They go where the money is. How come Canada doesn't have any homegrown and home stayed talents? I'm sure they have they just wanted to be embarrassing and showed William Shatner who rambled on or Michael J. Fox who was playing the sympathy card.

Anyway, I'm glad it's over and Shaun White, Bode Miller and Lindsey Vonn can go back into their world because I had enough of their antics. There was not one broadcast where one of them was not mentioned. NBC created such a hype about these people that it was bordering on the disgusting.

Besides, I would much rather watch good cops catching bad guys anytime.

Now with the Olympics over the media can concentrate on good, wholesome sports like golf.
