Did Ya'll See That?! Cullen Jones Made History!!


OK, so please tell me you've been watching the Olympics and you know who Cullen Jones is. If you don't know, Cullen Jones - who is from Irvington, NJ by the way - is only the 3rd black person to ever make an Olympic swim team but he is now the first Black American to win Gold in swimming. Major!!! While all the media attention is surrounding Michael Phelps and his quest to win 8 gold medals in one Olympics, people need to recognize that Cullen is a BEAST and he is part of the reason that Michael Phelps can even keep his dream alive. And Cullen is cute too! So CONGRATS to Cullen and the relay team. The French relay team made a big ol' deal about how they were going to crush USA. How do you say, kiss my swim cap in french?

UPDATE: If you missed the race you can click GO CULLEN and also check out the interview with Cullen on the TODAY Show...he is soooo cute. I am so proud of him! Oh and it seems this is the 2nd gold for an African American in swimming. STILL that's major and it is a huge deal and I love him!



Thank you Sadé!!
