Which is much better than Bieber fever…
I really enjoy watching the summer Olympics! I still can’t believe how much money is put
in to running it, but it is quite a spectacle.
Swimmers that are unbelievable tall are winning multiple races. And don’t get me started on the women’s gymnastics
team. One word: awesome! These athletes are an inspiration and bring a
tear to my eye when they win. Just look
at Blade
Runner. They have sacrificed a regular
life to have a grueling schedule of training. Gold medals for everyone! I find
that the Olympic theme is on repeat in my head on a daily basis this week. USA! USA! USA! Athletes are communicating using twitter and
news outlets are spoiling the results for me, but it is still fun to watch.
Another thing that makes me proud to be an American is the
upcoming elections. My son who is about
to turn 3 said “American flag is cool”. Why, yes it is. I always get excited
for elections and preach to people to actually figure out more about the
candidates rather than just going on tv ads or People magazine’s take. It always cracks me up that people vote for
their party, but can’t tell me why they support that person. The good thing is that we have the right to
vote. Yay!
Voting may become a lot easier for people. Alex Fitzpatrick’s article TurboVote
Wants to Be the Netflix of Voter Registration on Mashable made a lot of sense. TurboVote is trying to jump on the newer
technology bandwagon by incorporating registration by means of the Internet and
will send the information via the post office to fill out to become a
registered voter. TubroVote wants to
send you the ballot along with email and text reminders to encourage voters to
perform their civic duty. What a clever
idea, why didn’t I think of this?
