Ryan Lochte's Story Was Too Predictable
abcnews.com

The Olympics are finally over, and no one is really talking about the competition, but the story of the games was Ryan Lochte. The dude was in the spotlight from start to finish. Came in with sterling silver hair, and left with a good story about standing up to a robber who held him at gunpoint. Problem is Lochte made up the story about getting robbed as he was coming home with some teammates. Everyone is outraged with what Lochte did, but I could see Lochte doing what he did from a mile away. Lochte is an electric character who is as entertaining as they come.

Ryan Lochte has been in the shadow of Micheal Phelps for most of his swimming career. All eyes are always on Micheal Phelps whenever he's in a pool, Ryan Lochte is always second fiddle. Lochte went into this Olympics trying to make a statement. He was going to steal the spotlight from Phelps. His first step was to show up with an electric hairdo. However, his silver hair turned green due to the pool water so his plan was foiled. Then Micheal Phelps went on an amazing streak of wins to end his swimming career. Leaving Lochte in his wake, Phelps was the talk of the town. So what did Lochte do, he made up a tale of him being a hero. According to Lochte he and some of his teammates were in a taxi when police pulled the car over. But the cops turned out to be imposters who told the swimmers to get on the ground. Lochte refused even with a gun to his head, and when told to get down he said, "Whatever". This was a red flag in the story, no one in their right mind would say no with a gun to their head. Lochte claimed the men robbed him yet, was seen with his wallet, phone and credentials, so what exactly did they take from him in the first place? If you're going to make up a story about getting robbed then sell it and get rid of all your stuff.

Ryan Lochte is a grade A clown. He's a moron, and if you ever watched his reality TV show you would've known this. He's a kid in a grown man's body. The type of guy to sing along to the Goofy Goober song from Spongebob. Can I blame Lochte for trying to make a splash this Olympics? No not at all, the man is swimming in the wrong time. But lying about getting robbed is some childish town foolery. This is not the last we see of Ryan Lochte, mark my words. I see him taking the Shia Labeouf route, and riding an elevator for 24 hours or hitchhiking around the country. Lochte is too much of a character to just go into hiding, the world needs Lochte as much as I need air.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
