The old times are killing me...

As most of you know, I have been watching the olympics. I really enjoy them. But quite possible the biggest thing going on and what this years olympics will be know for (hopefully) is Micheal Phelps quest for 8 golds.

The other day my dad told me that he didn't like Phelps. At all.
So I started thinking about Mark Spitz.

In case you didn't know Mark Spitz won 7 gold medals in the 1972 Munich Olympic games. But he isn't remembered for dominating at the 1972 games instead the 1972 Munich games will always be remembered for this. A side note, mark spitz is complaining about not being invited to watch Phelps try to break his record. Just sharing.
But here is where I am going with this:
I am watching my generations heros become heros. And in the process the old heros (mark Spitz) are being dethroned by the new heros (Phelps). And I couldn't enjoy it more. I'm exicted to see what my generations becomes.
But at the same time, I kinda feel bad for my dad as his generations heros are being replaced.

So come Phelps! lets see eight!


*I sure hope the 2008 Beijing Olympics is remermbered more for the breaking of records then Russia invading...
