The 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing is now coming to a close. Now, it is in memory lane. Sixteen days of exciting moments in sports. Michael Phelps won eight gold medals, which is more than Mark Spitz won in 1972. Lot of records were made in the 2008 Olympics. Despite all the controversy, overall not a bad Olympic game. A very exciting Olympic event. Granted, there were a few scandals with Chinese gymnasts who were under the age of 16, which is against the rule. The closing ceremony is just as spectacular as the opening ceremony 16 days ago. The next Olympic event is the Winter Olympics in 2010 in Vancouver and there is the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Also, there is FIFA World Cup Soccer in the same year as the Winter Olympics in South Africa, which also exciting.

Since the Olympics are now over, many more exciting things are upon us. There are shows I am anticipating, return of Prison Break, Sarah Connor Chronicles, King of the Hill, and new shows like Fringe. Also, the DNC and RNC convention is upon us and we will find out who will be nominated as Presidential candidates. It should be an interesting one. Also, it is the start of college football season and Texas starts playing this weekend. Looking forward to that! Hopefully we will make it to BCS Championship and win it like in the 2005 season.
