Bode MIller - First Gold after 12 Years

Have had a few people that have asked or said they would like something about the Olympics. Well, Bode Miller won his first gold medal after 12 seasons of trying, whew that takes resolve and dedication. Even though the athletes like Miller are very often pampered beyond what we 'normal people' would understand, it's still him or they that put their lives into something like he has done. Not that I watched him getting his medal, I just read it someplace on the web but what I took away from what I read is of course above. Just goes to show ya that if you keep at 'it' and don't give up that you can achieve your 'dreams'. Would be interesting to talk to him and ask him about his mental strengths and how he kept his goal in his mind's eye for so long. I respect all athletes at all the different levels, have understanding for the joy of competition and all that, but I must say seeing people achieve a long term goal like Miller has done is something special. It's one thing to win something if your 'in the right place at the right time' and this might occur more in team sports than it does in individual sports. Does that take away how special it is for first time winners that just do it the first time out? NO, but I'm just saying it's maybe more impressive in all aspects when it comes to older guys like Miller who never say never and in the end get the job done. As far as golf goes, I am hoping David Duval gets it going this season, that would be super cool if he could turn it all the way around. Yeah, yeah... bla bla bla.... blog.

Tribal instincts, tribal culture, the feeling of being accepted, being one of the gang, fitting in, have connection with the whole body, or social normality's in the regards human behavior, where are the connections of our behavior as ourselves being alone at home, driving alone in our cars, all the time of being alone and that person we are vs/or the way we are with others, the way we view others and quite possibly the the way we view ourselves as ourselves in the companionship with other human beings. I don't know what you all think, but I think there is definitely something to this tribal thing, way of thinking or what ever you want to call it. Maybe we humans are most ourselves when we don't have the constant programing that happens through the mainstay media outlets, it is a proven fact the brain shuts itself into a hypnotic state after so so many minutes of watching the tv for example, and we are not talking about even an hour here people... I watch my son's facial and body's expressions when he's watching Disney for example, halla after 20 min his little brain is so 'in' the tv that it's actually scary for me. Anyway, just rambling on here again, for all basketball interested check out the team's blog on the right side of the page..
