BMX? Really?!

My husband and I had the best time watching the Olympics last night. We started out proud but ended up rolling on the floor (no..really. Actually..ROLLING.) laughing hysterically.
The announcer comes on and says that BMX is making it's Olympic debut!
We think "Hurray for 14 year olds everywhere. The ones who didn't hole up on the sofa with video games. The ones who were not in the basement downloading naked pictures of their 7th grade teacher. Hurray for the kids who still ride around the neighborhood and run to the store for their mom!" You know? Like WE did. Back in 1894.
So we're watching the little guys GO GO GO! They look so cute in their outfits and their giant helmets. They have names like Butter, and Salad, and Mikey and Dan.
My husband was supplementing the announcer during the race with "Come on Mikey..Butter's brother has the new Penthouse! Race Ya!"
And then it happened.
The race ended. The helmets came off.
Underneath? A bunch of CREEPY middle aged men on bikes so small it looked like they stole them from their kids.
What GROWN ASS MAN races a BMX bike?
Suddenly I can see each of them at the Star Track convention. Suddenly they all look like guys named "Chester" who took up the sport so they could hang with the hot 12 to 14 year old boys in their neighborhood and not be busted.
So. Gross.

Family

Recently I've been missing my sister.
I don't know why. She is probably the most evil person I've ever met.
I guess I just miss the "idea" of a sister, more than the real deal.
I got a reading (as a birthday present) from a famous Hollywood lady. All I told her was my first name and she proceeded to rattle off things that have happened to me that she could never have guessed at. Things that, trust me, are NOT the norm. lol
When we got to my fathers side of the family she said some interesting things. She said that they were beings that were really really NOT on my level. That the reason we have such conflict is that I am put in their lives (lifetime after lifetime) to make them raise their vibration so that they can get closer to God. But lifetime after lifetime they stumble, and look for reasons to hate me and thus I go higher and they keep coming back repeating ugly old patterns. Each lifetime getting more difficult for them. They were currently making things up in their heads as to why they didn't like me but the bottom line is it's my "light". She also said that although she could see me wanting it to be different..that I had nothing in this life to gain from having them around. That they were all acting out a karma that "trust me" YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET MIXED UP IN.
Then she apologized and said she wished she had better news.
She did say (which was comforting) that she sees that I am with my soul mate. And that she hardly ever gets to say this "R. You will have such a happy life this time."
So that is a comfort.
My biggest problem is that I am so willing to see what I've done wrong in the past and to forgive others even if they have fucked me royally.
I mean, I took this girl from a country bumpkin. Gave her a self-esteem, a major and then moved her out of Texas into my house.
I never complained when she mooched off of me, stole from me, flirted with my boyfriend behind my back (so severely that he would forward her emails to me immediately and say "do something about this") and talk shit about me to people I had known for years.
When I finally got wise, she moved out and we haven't spoken since.
The funny thing?
I got untold emails from friends and relatives she grew up with that were like "THANK GOD YOU GOT THAT SNAKE OUT OF YOUR LIFE."
Which shocked me. I didn't think anyone cared one way or the other.
I have very loyal friends.
So I guess the karma train has indeed visited her.
She married a guy I introduced her to (and warned her not to date). He's the type that can't keep a job no matter WHO is depending on him.
She lives in a house that is worth one tenth of what mine is.
She looks about ten years older than she is (that's called marrying a man who is too much work).
Sad.
My own father lives a sad little life in a trailer after wife number whatever up and left him. So he will die alone.
My paternal grandmother, the one that got all of this shit started from the beginning? She is suffering from Alzheimer's so she can't even remember half of HER evil. She is robbed of the happy memories and her identity as well. Just like she tried to rob me of mine.
Karma is indeed...a bitch.

The CHINESE did the same thing to the olympic medals that they do to our toys...

Made them worthless.
The ridiculous farce that is the Women's Olympic Gymnastics competition is a true reflection of this country. They are Liars. Sub-par athletes that have convinced themselves (While the rest of the world laughs and thinks...what did you expect from a bunch of lead poisoning, baby killers?) that cheating is a viable way to get a medal.
China..you have turned the Olympics into a joke and a disgrace. But then we expected you to.
