As most of you already know, Michael Phelps was captured in a picture at a party at the University of South Carolina. It wasn't a typical picture of him with 8 gold medals around his neck. It just so happened to be a picture of Phelps smoking a little marijuana. For the past days it has been all over the news and sports programs. In a way I feel like it is done and over with and the state of South Carolina just needs to leave it alone. Most recently I have heard that they are trying to press charges on him. I just don't see the need in doing all this. There are pictures all over the internet(myspace, facebook, etc.) of people smoking weed and getting high and for the most part a good percentage of these people haven't been hit with any charges. Sure some people might see it as a bad decision on his part but they need to quit blowing it up. Just because the man has won so many gold medals doesn't mean he isn't human like the rest of us. He isn't some super hero. I'm sure he parties like the majority of us humans(drinks, smokes, has sex haha). I'm just saying that maybe all these people should give the man a break.
On another note I feel like he might have brought this all on himself. I'm not saying that just because you are making millions doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to have a little fun like the rest of us(not all see this instance as "having fun" but I do). Sure have a little fun Mr. Phelps but you can't go to a college party and not expect "that girl"(the one that goes around taking pictures like she just discovered what a camera is) not to be there. At a party, chances are pretty good that you are going to get caught in a picture one way or another, especially if you are famous.
With all of this said I would like to quote my father: "Son, I'm not saying that partying is bad, but there is a time and place for it. I was your age once......and......well.......you're only young, dumb, and full of cum once."
P.S. I would just like to appologize to anyone who I might have offended by some of these remarks. Personally, I think it's great. :]
