random thoughts of mine

I have these randoms thoughts, scenarios, play by plays, opinions of unusual things of pure nonsense float around my head through out the day, so I decided that instead of just letting them be a thought, I'm going to give them an extra moment of concentration and see how silly they all come out when I view them written up before me and not just floating strings of gray matter in my noggin.

I'll start with the Olympics. I've been watching bits and pieces here at there.  I miss the excitement I had for it when I was young. My mom always had it on, and I remember watching it after school or before bed and getting really into the intense moments and action.  You can't have figure skating without Scott Hamilton, what a guy. I don't remember his gold medal skate, (I'm not that old), but I know his voice and his token phrase while showing the replays "aaaaahhhhh, she/he fought so hard to hold on to that jump" I love it. classic olympic energy comes from Scott Hamilton's boyhood charm for ice skating, he makes it kind of not seem so wimpy of a sport for boys.

kind of...

oh, you know that look sold him the gold. And that unitard! wow!

but as I was watching all the lovely ladies, and glittery men, gracefully skate on their ice pond, I noticed how elegant and poised they all looked and their hair always is done up so nicely, even Johnny Weir knows how to accessorize,

I mean really, he has a thing for bling

so here is my random thought when the ice skating gets a little too hum drum for me.... Why can't the women's gymnastic team jazz up their hairstyles a bit?  I mean, there is a nice version of a slicked back pony, and then there is the gymnastic SLICKED back pony! for real, they should have a separate olympic event to see how many hair clips they can fit on one head! sheesh!

bonus points to whoever can tell me the total count of hair clips in this photo

I've given this some consideration and while the gymnasts sport ensues more upside down flips, their hair do's aren't put up to any harsher elements then when  ice skater spins and spins and spins and spins and spins and spins! I mean if that little Russian can turn into a twister without a hair falling out of place, and not one tacky clip in sight, then I think the gymnasts are just getting a little lazy.  For pete sake, even Jason Brown supported the slicked back pony, without any clips so I know it can be done!

And so I conclude my thoughts on the 2014 winter games. I think the gymnasts for the upcoming summer olympics could take a little more heart into putting their hair together. for all we know there could soon be a shortage of hair clips for us regular joes. We very well might not be able to see the next USA women's gymnastic team win gold because our hair will be in our eyes because we couldn't buy one little clip to hold it back. Unless, those clips are some sort of lucky charms...but that is fielding into a deeper thought process then even I want to get into! 

hahah!
