  1. Here is the list: Men's 200m Freestyle Men's 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay Men's 400m Individual Medley Men's 200m Butterfly Men's 800m Freestyle Relay (won just now) 3 are individual, but 2 are relays. The total is now 11 in his Olympic career.
  2. Michael Phelps has done it! He is the most decorated Olympic gold medalist ever! The poll is now closed. 9 members correctly guessed that he would do it.
  3. I will have to read it later (after gymnastics of course). Then I will decide who the evil culprit is.
  4. Sometimes I am in a mood for metal. I would have to say the best are Metallica and Slayer. The video for "Enter Sandman" is a haunting one. Slayer's is another favorite.
  5. Michael Phelps swims 5 hours per day. He's used to this. They said he's supposed to eat 8,000 to 10,000 calories per day.
  6. He has to win one more. I'm going out on a limb and saying that he will.
  7. He just won the Men's 200m Freestyle with a world record.

    Unsteady

    Hi Ash, I understand your frustration. Sometimes the best solution is just living day to day. Constantly focusing on what might have been tends to cause depression and anxiety. Should you have an eye on the future? Of course you should, but just try to keep a positive attitude. You are a smart, charming, sweet guy and there's no doubt you'll find that special someone. It may be tomorrow. It may be a year from now. As for finding another job, that can be difficult. Working 65 hours a week is doable for some people, and it's probably best to only do that as a short-term solution. As for the college class, sign up for the spring one at the earliest possible time so that you can be one of the first students on the roster. In the mean time, remember that you're still young and have plenty of time. Try to focus on what is good in your life instead of what is bad. Remember that there are people here who are just a PM, IM, or phone call away.
  9. Wrong Phelps... He is of no relation to the Fred Phelps in Wichita. Ironically, his father's name is also Fred. If I were him, I'd want an immediate name change.
  10. For those who do not already know, there is a sneak peek. It's a tiny morsel of what we really want, but it's still GFD.
  11. One of the best? I would say he's hands down the best swimmer ever. Look how many world and Olympic records he has broken. He's also still young enough that he could easily continue in London in 2012 if he so desires. He's simply amazing. Baltimore seems to have a swimming dynasty forming, and he is definitely the face of it. Speaking of his face, he's also cute.
  12. I am familiar with Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Henry V. I am really not into Shakespeare to be honest. I know this probably sounds bad, but I prefer modern plays.
  13. Tomorrow, he has another event. I can't remember which one it is. If he wins, it will be his 8th gold medal in single's competition and his 3rd medal in Beijing.
  14. He did compete in team competition. The French thought they would win, but they totally got spanked by Team USA! Should Michael Phelps win 8 gold medals (both individual and team) he will win the record for that. Thus, is hunting two records.
  15. No, he's at The Olympics now. He is going to be competing for some more medals. He has already won one. He has 7 so far in his career. 3 more will mean a record.
  16. Special thanks to Jack Frost for the pic... For The Love of Goat Disclaimer: Remember that this is fiction. It may be in first-person, but I would never... It was a warm Sunday morning in April. I woke up and looked out the window, and I saw him. His white coat with some black overtones was definitely to my liking. His horns, elongated with a slight curve, mesmerized me. I dressed as quickly as I possibly could. I donned a pair of jeans, a blue t-shirt, and a black shirt with buttons. There was something intriguing about this beautiful creature, and I just had to see him. As I opened the front door, I noticed that he was right there waiting for me. I could see it in his eyes. He wanted me and knew I wanted him. Closing the door behind me, I walked up to him and gentle stroked the top of his head. To my knees I descended, looking into his eyes and seeing the beauty of his soul.
  17. Happy Birthday! Have a good one.
  18. Michael Phelps (an Olympic swimmer from the United States) won his 7th Olympic gold medal. He has 4 more individual events in swimming this year. Thus, he could end up surpassing the record of Larissa Latynina, a former female Russian gymnast. However, it should be noted that she would still of the overall record of 18 (9 gold, 5 silver, and 4 bronze). Will he pull it off?
  19. Evanescence has a haunting song called "Breathe No More". This is an interesting with the song.
  20. It's also unrealistic and wouldn't fit CJ's style.
  21. When I graduated from high school, I had big plans for my life. At that time, I wanted to be a nurse. I tried being a CNA for a while, but it just wasn't for me. I later decided to try paralegal. I took a few classes, but the luster eventually wore off. Last summer I started some IT classes. Then I dropped out. Now, I'll be starting new classes on 8-20. It's a different school, and I don't know if I'll actually be able to use a lot of the credits from the first which really sucks. I owe the old school $1,000, and I won't be able to get my transcripts until I pay them off. That sounds simple enough, but wait I don't have $1,000 to spend. I dropped the last two classes right after I moved to Kansas, and that is the reason they sent money back to the lender. I was so stressed out and severely depressed at the time. I also can't seem to write much of anything these days. I have no inspiration. Here I am with lots of story ideas, including 2 remaining parts of a trilogy, but the inspiration to actually write is just not there right now. I don't know what to do about it. Another thing is that there are really no potential partners around this area. It's definitely too rural for my personal taste. I really need someone. There's also this problem that there are a few that I do like, but they don't live in my area. Maybe I spend too much time online. Well, that just seems to be a pattern with me for several years now. I need to snap out of it. Oh well... I might as well forget about that for a while. I would like to think that there's someone wonderful in my future, but I honestly don't know if that's the case or not. I suppose for now I'll just focus on making improvements in my own life to make it better overall. I need to free myself of these chains, so I can finally be free to life the way I really want to live.
  22. Staind "Epiphany" Your words they make just a whisper Your face is so unclear I try to pay attention And the words just disappear Cuz it's always raining in my head Forget all the things i should have said So I speak to you in riddles Cuz my words get in my way I smoke the whole thing to my head And feel it wash away Cuz I can't take anymore of this I wanna come apart And did myself a little hole Inside your precious heart Cuz it's always raining in my head Forget all the things i should have said I am nothing more than A little boy inside That cries out for intention That i always try to hide Cuz I talk to you like children Though I don't know how i feel But I know I
  23. That's nothing that a couple of surgeries and hormones cannot fix.
  24. It seems that the goat cannot stay out of trouble, Jan.
  25. I'm rooting for the USA personally. As for politics, there is a great place to discuss China's government. It is The Soapbox Political Forum.
