I'd just like to wish everyone & their country the best of luck at the 2004 Olympics. How cool is it that the olympics are being held once again in it's birth place of Greece?
May we fight hard, fight long, & fight fair.
Cheers to all
And hugs to all

I agree, the opening ceremonies were awesome. Just think how much planning and imagintation it took to put that together! i think that face was cool too, especially when the guy on the cube was revealed. For anyone who missed it, it was a beautiful depiction of Greek and Olympic history. The costumes & makeup artistry was spectacular. I heard somewhere that Greece has spent over 10 millionUSD to be able to hold the Olympics because of all the new facilities they built & the additional security.
PS to Kind of Badgers, I do not mean to fight in war, but to fight for the Gold medal in athletic competition.

I tried watching it now in bed.
But then I started to fall asleep, and decided that 7.30 was far to early for me to be going to sleep..
So I got up again..
From what I saw it was very pretty
