Here come the Celtics!

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

My boy Rajon Rondo is leading this charge. They’re seemingly unstoppable in going for another championship ring. Given their propensity to fuck up in the 4th and going against the Lakers might make for an interesting series. I’m still thinking a sweep of the Magic and the Lakers. Ha.

Somehow I missed the memo that Rampage agreed to fight Rashad. That’s next Saturday, I can’t wait. Given the last few UFCs seemingly sucked (of course I was not watching on a nice screen) I’m hoping this one will rock as I chill at BDubs.

Many things have been going on. I haven’t really updated in… well a full month. Why? I don’t know. I’ve been going through my cycles, I’m on a downward spiral right now. I just don’t seem to belong here nor anywhere for that matter. I just have to ride this one out. I start a new job soon so there’s always that. I wish I could just magically shake off this feeling but I just feel so… what is the word I’m looking for? I think I got it: “Lost.” That’s really the basis I guess but seemingly complicated to explain.

I had a situation where two new friends lied to me to my face (I knew it as they did it.) I called one of them out a few days after; I was asked certain questions so I told the truth otherwise I was just going to let it go (though keep it in the back of my head.) I’m sort of keeping my distance from them. Everyone is always busy and I have lots of free time. I’m hoping to shore up that free time in the near future with work and working out.

I’ve had upswings and down. I didn’t think about updating the blog here until today. It’s taken a month since applying before I even start the job. This apartment depresses me and I need to think about moving soon. That depresses me. I have debt pretty high now and I just bought something stupid… well not stupid but I should have waited a little longer. I have money but it will be tight for sure until a few paychecks can start rolling in. I’m ever so lonely and not in a family/friends kind of way. I don’t think it’s right to burden myself or someone else with a shitty relationship by just going out to suppress that feeling. I’ll meet someone eventually but when I don’t know. Then I have other bullshit emotions to deal with. I shouldn’t compare but I know I will. It’s hard to downgrade when you’ve tasted caviar.

UFC 112: WHATAJOKE SILVA vs MAIA

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

I couldn’t purchase this fight and it’s a good thing. None of the local bars had it either… once again a good thing. Wasting one dime on this would have pissed me off moreso than it already did. I finally got to see a streaming video of it catching only the last two fights. The BJ Penn fight was good, Edgar held his ground and had some textbook foot movement and jabs and ended up taking the belt in a unanimous decision. It was a slower fight but I thought it was excellent.

Going on to the main event featured a relatively no name fighter when compared to Anderson Silva. Demian Maia is good, I definitely wouldn’t discount him, but as a challenger to Silva my doubts were there. They were proved right in the first 5 seconds of the match when one could easily tell that Silva was the far superior fighter. So now is the part where all the fans get to see a trademark 20 second knockout, right? Wrong. Instead Silva plays the entertainer card. Okay, he knows how to do that. He taunts and backs it up. He might even showboat a little bit. But here, here he went farrrr beyond that to pure asshattery. I’ll give him one round, hell throw in a second. I know what he’s doing. But finish him at the end of the second round, preferrably much sooner than that. For fuck’s sake finish him at the beginning of the third round. We all know Silva gets gassed if it goes longer than 2 rounds but his talent is at the point where he never needs to reach that mark. I don’t know if this is some sort of “training” for him but he failed on that part. We get to watch him run around the ring and Maia put his all into it in the last two rounds. Maia’s legs were fucked up, his eye was fucked up, hell his whole face was fucked up. We knew he was done and he knew it was all or nothing time. Silva just has speed, length, and strength… a truly skilled and difficult opponent. I give Maia credit for stepping in the ring and trying. I know going all out from the gates will get you knocked out so I could see the strategy but he had no hope and everyone knew that. Nothing was working. I’m glad he didn’t pull a Leites or even a Griffin for that matter. He stood in.

Silva apologized the last time he pulled this shit. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on you. His apology this time rang hollow. I’m glad his contract is almost up and I hope Dana doesn’t re-sign him because I’m seriously losing interest in the dude. Dana needs to do something or prepare for the heat. I’m so pissed at him right now, it’s bad business and bad entertainment. I’m really glad I didn’t spend a nickel on this and I would want a refund if I had.

Sports And Stuff

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

I just did some reading last night and watched UFC 108. It featured Rashad Evans vs Thiago Silva. Rashad was working on his ground and pound surprisingly and took Silva down many times. He dominated the first two rounds leaving some sort of knockout as Thiago’s only hope. He realizes this and taunts Rashad to take a swing at him for most of the third round. He’d wave him over or drop his guard and stick his face out. It’s tempting to beat the shit out of him but Rashad is smart and kept back. Unfortunately during one exchange a counter nailed Rashad stunning him. Silva jumped on him quick but Rashad managed to stay up and not get knocked out. He would clinch up on him to prevent a further beating. Joe Rogan starts saying how Silva needs to act now (they separated and had their hands at their sides catching their breaths.) He was right, don’t let Evans recover. But Silva is an idiot and let him recover only to get tied up for the last minute and thirty seconds leaving it to decision which easily went to Rashad. I was happy with the whole fight card, every one featured submissions and ground and pound and on the feet action. They may not have been big names but it was fun to watch. This one might have been worth $40. Go figure.

I also watched the UK vs UofL game yesterday. It was scrappy from the getgo, Bledsoe fouls a few seconds into the game (bullshit call) and he’s going off. Calipari has to bench him so he cools down. Not but 30 seconds later 3 technical fouls are assessed in a mini-brawl. This shit is getting real and the record 24k+ crowd in Rupp Arena is about to explode. This rivalry has far reaching implications in the Bluegrass. Neither team can hit a basket in the first half and the defense played is stellar. Fouls are flying left and right easily hitting the one and one bonus with 10 to go in the first. By the second half Louisville manages to cut the lead after a 5 point swing when Patterson misses a wide open dunk (BRICK) and they nail a trey. They get up one point 42-41 before John Wall (who is back in the game from a cramp) finally gets back in rhythm and tears ‘em apart. It’s tense up to the buzzer but UK retains the lead at around ten points with some rare missed free throws from Wall. Kentucky extends the unbeaten record to 15-0.

Today is a day of relax and rest for me. I’m going to watch football all day to keep my mind busy. I need the Steelers to win and the Texans and Jets to lose. Unfortunately, the teams they’re playing may rest their starters fucking our chances for the playoffs. I have a few bills to get in order but that’s it.

I was thinking and figured that if Ms. Sexy X is happier without me in her life then that’s what I want. Hey, I may not be as happy but oh well. I’ve always been interested in her happiness so if this is what it takes I’ll accept that. Only she can answer that and I guess she has. I don’t have to like the decision but I’d never force myself upon anyone so I have to move on. That’s hard and will take a lot of time. As stated above I try to keep busy but many times I slip up. If I ask myself ”is my life better off without MSX?” I’d answer no in a heartbeat. Someone that is super smart, can make me laugh all the time, and has such a huge heart, and cares about me. That is a no-brainer. I want ME to be happy but not at her expense. Fare thee well, my love. ;-) I hope she finds happiness wherever she goes.

Busy Days Help

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

I was right, the 4th was so very hard on me. I had the day off and it just hit me. I tried cleaning to keep my mind off of it but I’d just breakdown over and over. I did manage to clean my incredibly messy room… I always let it go to shit when I tumble into depression. I just start throwing anything anywhere. Well, I was tired of the mess and it just further depressed me. I was intending to keep busy so I couldn’t think but I failed. Alas, I finally got it clean, my laundry all washed, the kitchen clean, and my bathroom clean. It felt really good despite the fact that I felt like shit. I ended up going over to a friend’s to play Call of Duty until 2AM. I got home and in bed by 3AM only to get up at 6AM.

Yesterday was much easier but not entirely better. The lack of sleep wasn’t fun. I was busy at work all day when my boss sprung a surprise project on me. We were horribly understaffed until 1PM. It’s alright as I went on a 3 hour lunch at 12 so that I could watch UK beat UNC. John Wall dominated the first half only to come out in the second with bad cramps. We had a commanding lead that just shrivelled up. I don’t feel like breaking down the game but suffice it to say we need to work on free throws bad and learn to kick the ball out to our perimeter when they double down the big guys.

I went back to work for just an hour before leaving to go over to a friend’s to watch the SEC Championship game. Alabama beat Florida… well destroyed is a better word. I was happy. Tebow is good and all but he doesn’t make me a bandwagon Florida fan like a lot of people seem to be doing. I don’t really have a college football team but I’ll stick with USC for a few reasons. (That’d be SoCal and NOT SoCar.)

After that we made some delicious burgers. They’re at least a quarter pound each. I had two which was a HUGE mistake. I was sooooo full. Ms. Sexy X called me and talked for about 20 minutes which was great. Unfortunately I was at a friend’s and at the very end I felt like throwing up. She sounded wonderful though and that was the highlight of my day for sure. I think she misses me but I know she won’t say. She’s set her mind for the moment so maybe one day she will but I just have to wait. :-( I get where she’s coming from when she does that but I wish she’d open up to me again. Afterall, it’s just us. I’ll wait for her… I love her. :-)

So I almost threw up. I was in the bathroom for a good bit, I walked around outside in the BRISK 20 degree weather to help. I stood for the first part of the Ultimate Fighter.

The whole card was actually entertaining. I was disappointed with Matt beating Marcus. Matt is such an idiot saying they both have “retard strength” on live TV. Really? I laughed at how stupid he could be. McSweeney beat Schoonover which I did want. Hamill beat Jones though Hamill got beat down so badly. Jones got DQ’d for illegal vertical elbow drops to the face. I never heard of them doing a DQ… wouldn’t it be a NC? Interesting. Jones should have won but the ref wouldn’t call it. Kimbo Slice beat Houston Alexander (who has an uncanny resemblence to the rapper Common.) The first round was completely boring with Houston literally dancing around the ring for the whole fucking thing. The second round started the same way with weak leg kicks to Kimbo’s bad knee. Not a bad game plan but put some power behind that shit. Kimbo slammed him down a few times and dominated the second round. The third round they were both tired and there were some takedowns and punches exchanged but it was slow and went to the bell where they both were exhausted. By unanimous decision Kimbo won which I agree with. Now given his age and bad knee… I can see him fighting a few more times but I certainly don’t expect him to last. The last fight featured Brenden Shaub and Roy Nelson. Guess who fucking won? Yeah the fatass did. I do give him credit, he actually put up a much better fight this time. Clearly Shaub needed to stay on his feet which he figured out after shoving that lardass off of him with one hand (WOW!) They were trading licks after that. Nelson gets gassed quick so dancing around to the second round would have worked but instead they exchange punches again except this time Nelson catches Shaub with a HUGE right hook to the ear which puts him to sleep. He punched him once more on the ground but Shaub was dazed and the ref stepped in to signal the knockout. Am I disappointed? You bet but oh well.

Chuck Lidell and Tito Ortiz are the next coaches for the middleweight TUF. Why the washed up Chuck? I guess he gets ratings and is friends with Dana. I wanted to see Georges St. Pierre coach. This next Saturday is a huge fight card in UFC 107. I’ll watch for sure.

I went home after that as my stomach was still iffy. This morning I feel fine (knock on wood.) I wish I could have talked longer with her. I probably won’t hear from her again for another week if not two weeks. That sucks. :-(

Choke Out

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

I went into work not feeling like doing shit. The machine was broke again and after spending 4.5 hours on it I gave up and went home early. That gave me from 1500 on to do whatever and with it being 70 and sunny, I opted to stay outside. What to do though? Well, it had been a while since I had a cigar so I got a glass of water, a Bolivar Cofradia No. 754, my dual torch lighter, cigar cutter, and put on some shorts and sat out on the deck. I smoked it for a good hour and twenty minutes down to the very end. It was very relaxing. I just sat outside thinking on what to do. I didn’t come up with a damned thing. I just have to take it a day at a time. I hate the uncertainty.

After that, I threw a football with my brother for about an hour. He stopped by and I was feeling energetic. So much so that I was going to go for a mile run. I don’t need to tell you that running after smoking isn’t a smart idea but fuck it. I barely made half a mile before resting for 2 minutes then running back a half mile. I was tired… not really out of breath but I figure I didn’t have a whole lot of oxygen in my system.

I went up to the roof right after to catch my breath and cool off and watch the sunset. Much to my dismay the clouds rolled in so I didn’t get to see much of anything. I went back inside and took a hot bath, I just soaked my legs for a good while before I showered. I watched the Ultimate Fighter and then watched “the Shining.” I forgot how looooooong that movie is. Jeez.

Rampage Jackson is such a dick. I don’t like him at all. He berates and berates. He is a horrible coach, he doesn’t build his guys up but merely talks smack about the opponents. It’s no wonder he is about to get sweeped just like last year. He kept calling Darrill “titties” even though his own boy Zac had bigger man boobs. Darrill is beastly for drinking that much alcohol especially when trying to get in shape to fight. Stupid. I wanted Zac to win, he’s a bit of a social outcast. He looked okay in the fight but kept his guard too low and took too many quick shots to the face. He had the nice and much needed takedown to escape defeat and he hammerfisted nicely. You could see how tired or dazed he was. He allowed himself to get into a triangle choke within Darrill’s legs. He held on for a long time but made no attempt to break it and Darrill finally got the extra leverage using his arm to help choke him out. Oh well. I like Rashad and I think he could easily kick Rampage’s ass especially since that pussy chickened out on the fight. (Rampage commented that Rashad wanted to hold on to the belt longer so he refused a fight. Riiiight, like he wanted to get his face destroyed by Lyoto Machida over your pansy ass… that totally makes sense.)

I slept in until 1000 today. I was happy about that. I got on my computer just fiddling around, putting off what I needed to do. There’s a song called “Breathe Into Me” by Red that I discovered and like. I finally got to writing a letter to Ms. Sexy X. Well, it was more of a poem I had written for her a while back. I have one more as well. I also sent her a long email about some stuff. I don’t know when she’ll read that as she doesn’t have access to it. I was going to send via regular mail but she won’t see that for a while and it didn’t feel right to send it through that. It took a little while for both things to get them perfect. Then I went to the hospital to fix some billing issues. I just got back and ate.

I’ve gotten a bunch out of the way today. I feel good to some extent. There’s a depression looming overhead so I can’t get too excited. I have to come up with ideas. Oy.

A new Vampire Diaries is on tonight. I like the show well enough but it’s a bit too… teen/high school/dramatic for my tastes. That said I read the books and they’re only loosely following them but I still enjoy watching them. True Blood doesn’t start again until next summer I think. So fucking far away.

News, Lose, And Shoes

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Keep this SCOTUS docket in mind: McDonald v. Chicago, 08-1521. Why? It is a case challenging Chicago’s draconian handgun ban law and the Supreme Court of the US has actually decided to hear it! Wow! I never thought I’d see the day. I know Heller v. DC opened up the floodgates so to speak with all sorts of laws being challenged but the ruling was narrow and didn’t touch incorporation of the 2nd Amendment. I figured it’d be years before we saw a case like this and it’s on the docket already for next summer! I’m not sure what the plan is here, it was a 5-4 ruling on Heller v. DC and the only justice replaced was already a leftie so the balance hasn’t shifted. I’m surprised that the law will be challenged under Obama’s administration. I don’t know how it will go but almost everyone, including gun banners, think the ban will be overturned. I agree but it’s what else is put in that opinion that could make a difference. I’m nervous but it’s about time.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/01/AR2009100100419.html

Moving on to the Ultimate Fighter last night… what a horrible fight. The episode was good, it was pretty funny with all the bickering. I laughed pretty hard when Rampage told McSweeney to “take Rashad’s nuts out your mouth so I can hear you.” Then when Rashad was harrassing Rampage about losing to Keith Jardine who was in the house… priceless. The fight was very predictable. I wanted to see Kimbo lose since he’s garbage but I don’t like Roy at all, he’s an ass who sucks at MMA as well. I hope he gets knocked the fuck out now, with them saying he’s Rashad’s number one guy let’s me know they’re in trouble now. Anyways, Kimbo’s obvious chance was to stay on his feet and deliver punches, everyone knows that. He has no ground game, he’s new to it. That was made obvious when Roy finally took him down with a minute to go in the first round where they stayed with Roy using his fat rolls to smother Kimbo and lay little punches on his head. Weak. In the second round Kimbo starts off strong and lands quite a few heavy punches which obviously stuns Roy. Roy comes after him and Kimbo just lands a huge knee into his gut. Unfortunately, that meant at that moment Kimbo was standing on one leg off balance. Roy’s forward inertia coupled with his giant fat rolls kept him going forward, falling right on Kimbo which actually left Roy in the better position – on accident I assure you. From there we had a full minute of Roy doing nothing. I like Herb Dean but he should have waved them up to their feet but he didn’t. Roy had a very weak side control which any good fighter could get out of. He pinned Kimbo’s arms to the ground and used his rotundo to smother him whilst laying itty bitty punches to the top of Kimbo’s head. Herb had no choice but to call the fight after a minute of that. Why? While he wasn’t doing any damage, Kimbo couldn’t defend himself and this would have gone on for 3 more minutes so it didn’t matter. WEEEEEAK! I’m sure we’ll see them work Kimbo back in somehow, the previews are already hyping that shit. Marcus looks like he could be a beast but he’s a softy given his rant on flowers. WTF? I can respect a man and gardening but while you’re on an MMA show competing for a contract you might want to keep that little tidbit to yourself. I can dig it but it’s only going to hurt you. He seems hurt prone too.

Lastly, Michael Vick was said to have a new endorsement with Nike as reported by ESPN last night. I was calling BS, there’s no way. I was proved right this morning when they reported an agent claimed he was but a Nike spokesman said that there is no endorsement in place, just free equipment provided like they do for many athletes. That’s too bad, I was getting my hopes up for some “BadNewz Shoes” you know that new “PitFight Series.” Hahahaha.

I’m going on 13 days without hearing from my Ms. Sexy X. I’m a bit sad. I’m feeling okay, I’m trying not to let it get to me but you know that shit lingers regardless. I have a busy day of painting, mowing, and fixing my computer ahead of me. Then I go into work. It’s finally sunny and clear here, I was getting pissed off at all the cold assed weather and cloudy days lately. It’s still chilly, mid-60s maybe. Oy.

Dreams Mean Nothin’

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

I guess Jung would roll over in his grave but what does he know? He was a nut. I suppose we are all just one degree away from being crazy.

I dreamed that I got in a huge fight with my parents over something stupid, I’m not even sure what. I ended up walking out and just leaving for good. I know that’s what I’ve been thinking in my head so the fact it manifests into a dream isn’t a surprise. I haven’t done that but I’m considering just leaving this state so they can’t bother me. I just need one more month, so I need to play it cool until then.

It’s been six days since I last talked to Ms. Sexy X. I’ve received no communication after that night when she sent some texts. She may have sent more but they’re not coming through or she may have not sent any. I don’t know. I’m feeling fine to some extent, she makes me happy. There’s a little sadness but that’s to be expected. I keep hoping to hear anything from her. I’ll send my second letter in 5 days. I have yet to finish it in case we talk before that time, sometimes I like to add things from our talks as a surprise. ;-)

Nothing was on last night. I take that back, the Ultimate Fighter was on. Wes Shivers took on James McSweeney. I was going for Wes but neither one really interested me. The fight took the full 10 minutes… why? Because they were sleeping half the fight!

Wes starts off strong with a takedown shortly into it. After some attempts at side control James breaks free. From there James is swinging wildly and trying stupid crazy kung fu shit that will get his ass fucking beat down in the actual UFC. He was actually running away from Wes and just didn’t have the reach when he did move in. It was a horrible mismatch. Luckily for him, Wes tired out after 3 minutes into the round. It was ridiculous. So McSweeney got some good solid leg kicks in and a few jabs. Into the second round it was the same stuff, leg kicks and jabs. The big guy swung but was too slow and did manage another take down but didn’t do shit. Rampage yelled to drop elbows but he just couldn’t do anything. For most the second round he dropped his guard and actually leaned on the octagon side and rested! Rashad is screaming for James to move in but he was tired as well and didn’t take advantage of that. Finally Wes did another takedown but James quickly got on top and attempted a guillotine until time expired. They were calling for a 3rd round but they were both wiped and Wes was sure to get knocked out. Judges scored it a win to James with a split decision. I think I even fell asleep a few times during this “fight.” At the end we got to see Rashad pick the next fight… Roy Nelson vs Kimbo Slice. Here goes! I hope Slice gets knocked the fuck out. I really don’t know, they say Roy is good but he’s a fat ass…

Man vs Wild was on as well, it was a behind the scenes deal. I can’t help but watch those, he’s crazy. I like that show a lot. He ate some funky cave spider thing which was so fucking disgusting I almost couldn’t watch.

That was it for my night. I know it’s not real exciting but what can I say? Sigh. I’m lonely. :-(

Movin’ On Up

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

I helped my brother move today. I wasn’t looking forward to it, in fact I was looking to avoid it. But I was curious to see his new house and I wasn’t really doing anything. As it turned out it ate up my whole evening. It was pretty easy, there was quite a while I just stood there because he wasn’t organized and was figuring things out. He wasted a lot of time on that.

My friend got the swine flu earlier this week. I hadn’t talked to him in that long and he invited me over to watch UFC. I was iffy, the fight card didn’t interest me too much and I don’t have money to spare but for gas and food until payday. I didn’t want to go over initially because of his illness which was a week old by now and probably not spreadable. I think I hurt his feelings a little on that. I felt bad so I went over but I was rude and didn’t officially state I was coming over I guess. I’m pretty sure I told him I’d be late because I was moving but I guess I didn’t outright say it? I also told him I was short on cash but I guess I didn’t outright say I’d not pay tonight. I didn’t know I had to break it down. But he got mad at me and said I haven’t paid him for any other fights which I know I have. I was nervous and embarrassed the whole time I was there and for good reason because when he said that… it hurt. I know I’ve paid him before. So now I’ve come to the conclusion I’m never accepting gifts again save from Ms. Sexy X. We know it’s not tit for tat, it’s from the heart. She’s smart in doing that… I thought it was sad but I see you can’t get hurt in doing that. Oy fucking vey. My friend and I are on good terms again, I apologized for being rude and promised to pay him back. But the damage is done and I’ll be weary from here on out.

The main fight was weak. Belfort beat Franklin pretty quickly and while they were good hits, they didn’t seem solid but it got Franklin down and one solid hammer fist to the back of the head seemed to do it, though the followup jabs helped I’m sure.

I’m still thinking about my Ms. Sexy X calling last night. I’m still riding that wave. I haven’t had proper time to sit down and think about that. I’ll do that tomorrow. I also got two incredibly cute texts this morning which were slightly sad as well. Aw, my babe. :-) I miss her so.

UFC 102: Couture vs Nogueira

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

I didn’t get to see it live on TV but a grainy webstream. It was worth it though. It wasn’t the best UFC ever but the main fight was great and the record knockout fight was fun to watch.

Thiago beat Keith which I predicted. I don’t have anything against either one but the last time I saw Thiago it looked like he was quick, quicker than Jardine. It could have gone either way but Thiago pretty much dominated this fight.

Todd Duffee connects on Tim Hague almost immediately… Hague had his guard down. He hit the sweet spot on the chin and Hague crumpled. Duffee takes advantage of that and pounces on him and lands the beat downs to seal the KO victory in a record 7 seconds! Talk about embarrassing!

The main event pitted two veterans against one another, the much older Randy taking on Antonio. Nog won all three rounds and ultimately the unanimous decision. There were several submission attempts and I can’t believe he didn’t get any but Couture is tough as nails and put up an excellent fight. There were several times I thought it could go either way. I would highly recommend watching this fight because it’s an exciting 15 minutes. When they went to the ground it looked as if one guy would be losing and the next minute he’d be on top. Nog had a great flip on one instance. My main complaint on Randy was why did he not get back on his feet with a minute and 35 seconds to go? There’s no way he’d win with submission or ground and pound… he needed a knockout. He had a MUCH better chance on his feet because it looked like it could go either way when they were fighting toe to toe.

I saw parts of the other fights but they weren’t that interesting to me. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good main event fight.

Loungin’

Friday, August 28th, 2009

I didn’t get my call last night. I don’t know if I’ll get one today either. Who knows? I’m feeling a little down today. I know why and it’s a stupid reason. Well, it’s not stupid but I’m telling myself it is so I get over it. I have to give myself a kick in the ass.

I’m just laying in bed all morning until I go into work. Fuck everything else. I’m tired. Nope, I’m not sleepy or weak. I’m just tired… maybe mentally. I’m watching Sports Center which gets repetitive quick. Fuck me.

I did go golfing yesterday. I regret cutting our conversation short badly. I have to get over that. I had already planned out this golf outing, not expecting her to call. I could have probably talked another hour or two with her. Sigh. And for what did I miss it? A horrible golf game. I suck at this sport but for some reason I keep wasting my money to play it. I’m an idiot of epic proportions. I didn’t care there, I just tried to have fun. I was goofing off on the tee box, on the greens, on the golf carts. It was actually fun in that regards. I rode on the side of the cart for the last 3 holes. My brother tried getting me to fall or run me into branches and shit. It didn’t work. I almost tipped the cart twice rocking.

What’s going on in the sports world? Jay Cutler is still a huge douche. He’ll never be good and I’m glad he got stuck with the Bears. Fuck him. I hope he gets boo’d out of Mile High Stadium this weekend.

Michael Vick played yesterday. I couldn’t watch the game but from the replays it looks like he’s still as mediocre as ever. It looked like McNabb was upset which I don’t really care since McNabb is exactly the same. This ought to be funny since they both think they’re awesome or something. Hopefully, they’ll be bickering all season long.

The Dallas Cowgirls have put up an obnoxiously huge TV in their new stadium and for some ingenious reason they didn’t consult any punters. You know, the guys that kick the ball super high. That would have been smart, huh Jerry? You’re an idiot, your whole organization is a joke. They just started figuring it out with their first game? You mean to tell me no one practiced even prior to that? Dole out the money to raise it up, it’s apparent you don’t have a problem to spend a ton already on an overrated but crappy team. No one wants to see replays over and over because a punter is doing his job. You’re going to delay games and make this shit reviewable. Good game.

Byron Leftwich had left the Steelers and apparently went to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the off season. I missed that one. It’s good for him and he looks like he’s doing well. He had some issues where he completely missed wide open guys but he’ll get it. I was impressed when he played backup after Batch and Roethlisberger got hurt last season. I like Dixon as well, either one could do a good job. I’m sure Leftwich will be the starter come season start.

Brandon Marshall got suspended from the team because he’s a grade ‘A’ asshole. He was aquitted of charges of battery on his girlfriend. That doesn’t mean he is innocent. He created this trouble for himself now he’s reaping what he sowed. Instead of coming back this season to show us a better side by keeping a good attitude, playing well, and keeping out of trouble he decides to skip the high road and just act like a little bitch which led to his suspension.

My weekend preview is Patriots play the Redskins tonight at 8PM EST on CBS. Sunday has the Bears going to Denver which ought to be interesting given the quarterbacks (on NBC, same time.) The game will most likely suck though. Houston will take on the Vikings Monday on ESPN once again at 8PM EST. Then you have UFC on Saturday night, Randy Couture is fighting Antonio Noguiera. Thiago Silva is taking on Keith Jardine as well. I’m going to go with Nog and Thiago as the winners.

The 11th episode of True Blood is Sunday night at 9PM EST. Just two left for the year. Damn.

And one quick rant. I HATE ESPN’s website where the stupid video players automatically start. I’m on wireless and it just bogs me down. I can push play if I want to see that crap and trust me when I say I don’t.

Can my day get any awesomer? I doubt it. Fuck all.

Just Another Day

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

I woke up this morning sometime in the early hours like I always do. However, I “slept” for 2 more hours probably. I use quotes because I go in and out of sleep and I’m usually tossing and turning and conscious of doing it.

I woke up and followed my morning routine. I opened my window this morning because it was cool in my room and it’s about 80 with humidity out there. Yeah, it’s hot but for some reason my window barely transfers so a little heat comes in and a little air goes out but it otherwise feels good.

I have a few things on my mind as I started the day. How’s MSX doing? Is she okay? Will she call today? The normal stuff. Then I’m thinking about signing a sub-lease which is only a little while until things start to go right. It’s expensive but I need to move and this is a nice place I’m looking at.

I have to go to work and that’s always a joy. :-( Basically, my life is at a stand still. I’ve stagnated. I have dreams and ideas but I have to wait for the moment. I wish sincerely that they were already in motion months ago. No one could have forseen this. It’s like a movie script except this one is real. Sigh.

Work was a real blast. Wait, no it wasn’t. It’s boring, there’s no challenge, no joy, and no pay. I really need a new job. I hope things go right in the next few months. Maybe, maybe.

Right now I’m all cleaned up and laying in bed. I have some weird sinus drainage thing going on and I have no idea why. I’d rather have the upset stomach of the past two days than this bullshit. I don’t have allergies as far as I know. I’ve been hocking loogies all day. Disgusting? You bet.

UFC 100 is being shown free on SpikeTV. I only have it on to rewatch the beatdown Henderson puts on Bisping. I didn’t care for the Lesnar win though I will probably watch it too.

She didn’t call today in case anyone wonders. I didn’t expect it though.

I’m lonely and dreaming of the west coast. ;-)

Silva vs Griffin

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

This may be the co-main event but that’s the fight I’m sure everyone was looking foward to. We had to sit through 3 different fights of ground and pound, it wasn’t too bad but it was pretty obvious who the winners would be. The third fight was called way too early in my humble opinion. While Hendricks got some serious licks on Amir, he was attempting to get up and I think he would have. How much longer he would have lasted, I can’t say.

Anderson Silva came out dancing around like the spider monkey he is. He’s ridiculous. They both danced around a bit with Griffin testing him out but it was no contest all the way. Silva taunted him every step of the way, even helping him up at one point. He had at least 3 chances to go in and finish but it was easy to see he was holding back to give a longer fight to the fans. This man is crazy good and fast. He completely left his guard down within striking distance of Griffin (what a taunt/challenge, right?) He just casually evaded two hooks and while leaning back glances Griffin on the chin with practically no weight behind the punch and Forrest just crumples to the ground. He fucking knocked him out in an embarrassing way. We’ve all seen how good Forrest is with public relations so that tells you something when he gets up and practically runs out of the fucking octagon and arena before Buffer can announce the winner. Wow.

I think Machida is the only contender, he’s very fast and I think speed is the key to getting Silva. I won’t even be brave enough to say that he can take Silva down though, as Anderson is simply the best out there right now.

The BJ Penn fight was fairly interesting. It lasted 4 rounds before he choked Florian the fuck out. I’ll give Kenny props for lasting that long but every round seemed to sway in BJ’s favor fairly easily. It was a good fight in my opinion and obviously the main event since it was for a title. But I still think the Silva fight outshines it easily.

I can see Silva fighting again soon since he literally took only one soft punch. Maybe we’ll see him as soon as UFC 104 or 105.

It was a good night, I stuffed myself with 2 burgers, 2 hotdogs, 2 Killians, a Jager bomb (yuck as usual,) and some chips/dip.
