the games of the 28th olympiad have concluded...

it's sad, but life does go on...the competitions were exciting and the music was stirring, but the stories of sacrifice and tragedy and triumph were incredibly sentimental to me...i know that athletics don't compare to things like being a soldier dying for your country or a police officer or firefighter, but it still has been very touching to hear of some of these stories...i only saw part of the story of the greek marathoner during world war 2, because i picked up kim at konnor's and took her to her grandparents', so i wonder what the rest of the story was, after he was set free by the germans because he proved he had competed in the berlin olympics, while all of the other men involved were killed...i just don't get that...anyway, more about this next part later, but i have some major changes ahead for me...i won't go into them now, but they will happen...
