It's official. These past 17 days have been a real trip. It's time to bid farewell to the 19th 2002 Winter Olympics. It struck me odd to notice that some people didn't really care about the games as much as I did. In the wake of recent times, I'd like to think that for the world to unite for a common dream and one flag would be the best thing to do. Witnessing to the triumph and agony has been something that will stay with me for a while. The pride in the country I live in has grown. My faith in people...resotred. My inspiration...driven. My wallet...burned. heh heh. I really wanted to sport the gear this year. I've never taken this much interest into any Olympics, but now I think I have something to look forward to in the summer of 2004. These past 2 weeks shattered dreams and granted wishes. We've all experienced that in one time or another but, either way all of us are called to light the fire within; not only in ourselves but in the lives of others. I should be the best that I can be; satisfy my expectations. Some day my hopes & dreams will come true...some day.
