On 2010 Paralympics?

With the 2010 Paralympics closing yesterday, I felt a need to get something off my chest.

I mean no disrespect to any of our athletes or Canada, but am I the only one who didn't care that the Canadian men's sledge hockey team finished fourth? Or that Team USA  beat... Japan for the gold?

Don't get me wrong, I totally respect that sport and the amount of skill and training that would go into it.

There is no way I could ever succeed at slegde hockey. It's ridiculous what those athletes can do but still I find myself not upset about a 4th place finish.

If the Men or Women's ice hockey team finished fourth in Vancouver, that would've turned our entire nation upside down... not to mention if Japan had even qualified let alone finishing second.

I even watched some of the ice dance competition, I watched a full match of curling! But yet couldn't even bother to turn on one single event last week.

Why is it that as a country we were so united and proud of all our athletes in the first Vancouver 2010 games and then when it came to the paralympics two weeks later, I heard next to nothing about it?

Those athletes train and compete just as hard as the other athletes, so why did they get less attention and support?

All of our para-athletes deserve much more respect and support then what I've given them and I hope some of these questions will be answered.

Anyways, until next time I'll leave you with a simple rule I was taught growing up. Do onto others as you would want in return.

On Dreams.

Take them for what they are, dreams.

Good, bad, happy and sad our dreams can be inspiring, traumatizing and even mesmerizing.

I've often toyed with the idea of keeping a dream blog but it's a lot easier said then done. I forget most of my dreams shortly before finishing brushing my teeth.

You can pick apart every dream you have, determine their meanings but for me I would just like to keep them the way they are. A 7-8 hour escape from reality.

I have a reoccurring dream of my teeth falling out of my mouth. I've heard this could mean anything from financial stress to feeling powerless, although money and power often go hand in hand.

Some nights I go without dreaming anything at all, and some nights when I wake up every couple of hours I go through hundreds but only retain a memory of a few.

You can have vivid dreams of people you know or complete strangers. I find the dreams of complete strangers absolutely fascinating when you can put them into such detail in your mind.

Has anyone ever had a sense of deja-vu where you are absolutely positive you have dreamt the situation you are living out?

Deja-vu is not foreign to me at all. I experience it at least 4 times a month and I'm about ninety-seven percent sure it has nothing to do with a complication in the Matrix. I will keep you all posted if I ever see agents running through my house.

The thing I like most about deja-vu is that mixed feeling of paranoia and mysticism and then when people are looking at you funny because you have completely stopped whatever it was you were doing to capture that moment.

Anyways, random blog yes but maybe this can spark some discussion. I'd like to hear some stories or share some dreams with me.

Until next time, sweet dreams and happy bloggings.
