How to avoid the Olympics.

Well here we are again. That athletic event that takes over our senses for about 2 weeks and really means nothing in the long run. I have personally never given a shit about sports so when we have a worldwide event focused on sports it becomes even harder to block out and ignore. Here are some easy tips if you are like me.
-Don't watch TV. 
Bullshit right? Well if you got a DVR full of shows then full speed ahead on going through a series you have never seen before. Maybe Netflix? they have tons of seasons of shows you always put off watching so now is the right time.
-Stay away from the crazies who think this event matters.
It's simple. If you typically hang out at sport bars and for some reason the bartender suffered a concussion and has all 17 tv's tuned to the Olympics then go out and get your drink on at a comedy club or stay home with the first option. 
-Make your OWN Olympics!
If you are creative enough and you have a culturally diverse group of friends then this option should be a no brainer. Make up events , preform in them, rate and then reward. But the important part is to constantly talk about YOUR Olympics well into after the games happened like they mattered. Who knows?! maybe one of your events will be lazy and strange enough to make it into the actual Olympics like Curling! But then you'd be branded an absolute traitor to this site and humanity.

In closing, The Olympics sounded like a cool thing when as a child you first heard about them and maybe you just learned about them and you were horribly let down when you found out no one fights lions anymore. I was : ( .
