My MAN!

So the Olympics are coming up. Not only does it bring back A TON of memories for me (the '96 Olympics ran Allie and my LIFE) but these olympics have the best commercial. Seriously, the most inspirational thing I have ever seen in my entire life. If you haven't seen it, I've posted the commercial link and the real race link below. I have cried every single time I have seen the commercial, and even harder when I've watched the real thing. As the Budweiser commercials would say, "DUUUUUUUUUUUDE" (Yeah, I just quoted another commercial for this commercial. I honestly don't watch much TV).


The real deal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDsigCRtoyg&feature=related

The commercial with Morgan Freeman's Awesomeness added: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO8b-zIKixM

Derek is totally my man!

I have more things to say soon.
