Paris Olympics

By Joe

I watched the Olympic’s opening ceremony but haven’t watched much else of it. This morning, they were showing the men’s 10m platform synchronized diving. The divers are very hot, especially Tom Daley. Synchronized diving is an amazing sport. For these guys to move in synch with their partner. I also find it interesting that the diverging pairs, which I know allows them to look more synchronized, but also it seems that with most pairs one is tanned and the other is quite pale. For example, Tom Daley and Noah Williams 🇬🇧:

The Canadians Nathan Zsombor-Murray and Rylan Wiens 🇨🇦 were also fun to watch. Diving is really a spectacular sport to watch, and not just for the tiny speedos. I always admire divers. I love to swim and be in the water, but I have never been able to dive. I just can’t bring myself to jump in somewhere head first.

There are three sports I particularly like to watch during the Olympics: men’s diving, men’s swimming, and men’s gymnastics. I will watch women’s gymnastics and a few other sports. I enjoy rowing, the equestrian competitions, and I’m sure there are other events that I can’t think of at the moment, but I’ll admit, I enjoy the men’s sports far more than watching the women compete.

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's.
