Smack That: 2008 Summer Olympics

Just came back from watching my very first Summer Olympic tournament EVER - the Women's Preliminary Pool A Volleyball Tournament (Cuba vs. Poland) and the Women's Preliminary Pool B Volleyball Tournament (Algeria vs. Brazil) at the Capital Indoor Stadium in Beijing, China! It was extremely exciting! Though I was sitting somewhat high in the stands, I was still able to get some pretty awesome shots. Check it out.

On A Summer's Night

and so, (on a summer's night)
I want to go on talking to you
as freely and intimately about what we live and die for
as if I knew you
better than anyone else whom you know,
on a boat, just by ourselves
as the purple darkness engulfs us
into the night.
