Life update...

OK, been busy as a bastard of late which is the reason for lack of updates. Things have been moving along in my life though. Had a Taekwondo Tournament - won 2 matches, lost 2 matches ended up 3rd. The wins don't feel as sweet though as it was against one of my team mates and I never actually got to fight anyone from another club. That said, fair play to Everton (aka Stick Man) which is now my new arch nemesis and the only one I train with who is faster than me. Weird as I love it and hate it all at the same time. Hate it cos I just hate loosing in anything where I feel I can do better, but good in the fact that I have gauge and a new push to gets better now. Must have watched my fight vids like 50 times and I know where I'm going wrong and the things I need to work on so these WILL BE IMPROVED (Yeah, decided to score a cute itsy bitsy camcorder - it's well 'ard!!)

What else, got me a Power ball, they're freaking awesome for working out your arms. Forearms, wrist strength, grip strength etc. Got it to help with my BJJ/Grappling/Sambo training which starts on Saturday. Gonna be doing some 1 on 1 sessions with a bad ass homie down in Birmingham every couple of weeks for the foreseeable future. He's an excellent teacher who knows his stuff inside out and from the side so REALLY looking forward to working with the dude.

Also going to be doing Yoga, was thinking of starting tomorrow but I don't get back in time and I'm still recovering from this freaking chest infection (was null and void ALL last week not to mention that I had 2 days already booked off which were spent sleeping!!!). But one thing I realised above all things...If I'm fighting a hobbit, I'll be able to kick that dude in the head - MAYBE! At the moment, my leg flexibility is shat and I'm fed up of having it like that so I'm hoping Yoga will help change that.

Ooohhh, been finding new music of late - lots of Hip Hop (some of it French). Top 10 Tracks on my iPod that I totally recommend (this changes daily)

1. The Look of Love - Slum Village
2. Keep it on - This beat - Slum Village
3. Around the Clock - DJ Honda feat. Problemz
4. Trouble in the water - DJ Honda feat. Problemz
5. Hell Naw! - Slum Village
6. Multiply - Slum Village
7. Self Assessment - Black Grass
8. Just like a bird without a feather - Samuel Jackson (Black Snake Moan OST)
9. Samurai - Shurik'n
10. Oncle Shu - Shurik'n

Anyways, this weekend should be fun, Grappling type training on Saturday, seeing Dylan Moran on Sunday (Never seen a stand up live before). Then 2 weeks after that, UFC 89!! Anyways, will try and do a few more updates - peace and love.

Things have changed a bit...

Yeah, so not blogged in a while and I must say that things have changed a little. Got a new Job working in Halifax which starts in December. Proper chuffed with that!

My fight in November has been cancelled and while gutted about that scenario, I am going to be fighting in approximately 3 hours over in Doncaster. Just killing time til my lift arrives and I can't wait! I've been up since 6am this morning, had a biggest west indian breakfast EVER (need the carbs) and all my stuff is packed and ready to go. There will be pics and video being as I just acquired a new Camcorder (it's small and dinky and ever so cute) but I'll post those later on this week.

Wish me luck peeps :)

Chuck knocked out!

OK, I totally was not expecting that!! Stayed up til 3am Sunday morning waiting for UFC 88 all to see Rashad Evans get an ass whipping and what happens? Chuck Liddell gets knocked out cold with an overhand right (Imagine that?? Knocked out with your own signature hit). I was in shock and I think the crowd was too - no real cheering or booing just a sense of disbelief! Hat off to Rashad Evans though - can't wait til he gets to Machida though - my money would be on Lyoto for sure! :)

Oooh - Chrome!

New web browser is now out. Is it another version we have to account for when developing or a phunky browser that will leave the masses gagging for more? Time will tell but so far...I'm impressed...feature rich and looks pretty nice to boot.

Nobody likes Nobodies

OK - So I go to Boots like 3 times a week and by the counter they got all these "Gossip" mags. Brad and Angelina's baby - Exclusive pics. Cheryl Tweedy...why I went back with Ashley. Jordan Price...why me and Pete are the perfect couple and my favourite spotted just today - Jade Goody, I have to stay strong for my boys.

Now when it comes to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie...they're both good actors and Angelina is super fit...but I personally couldn't give a shit about their personal lives unless they impact me. Don't get me wrong, it's always nice to find out something like "Oooh, he went to the same school as me" but other than that...who gives a shit?? I ain't being a hater and more power to the lot of em (with the exception of Jade...I'll get to her in a minute), they've used the system and peoples unhappiness with their own lives to make money. I just wonder why no one actually thinks about these minor points. It's not like most (MOST NOT ALL) of these people have made any major contributions to society or impacted the world in a great way for the advancement of humanity. So why do we care when one of them has kids, breaks up with someone or blows their nose?? Just makes you feel like the majority (with the D-Listers at least) of their income comes from telling any and everything about their personal lives to weekly mags for the drone like masses to consume.

What got me on to this?? Jade Goody. I gotta say, from day 1 that girl pissed me off and I dunno why. I think it's something to do with the fact that she's a f**king idiot...yeah - that's it. Don't get me wrong, I think her having cancer really blows and I would not wish that on anyone but COME ON PEOPLE - Cancer is not the cure for being a f**king idiot!! She was a retard before she got it - she's a retard now and is the perfect epitome of what I am talking about. She can't do anything interesting like juggle or pull a rabbit out of a hat, she has not written any dissertations on ways to improve humanity and in general has not made any REAL contributions to society. "Why I broke up with some random geezer" is NOT a contribution to society. "Me and my new boob job" is NOT a contribution to society. "Why am I such a f**king looser" while funny, is not a contribution to society. But many people would still rather read about some ignorant nobody than concentrate on the person that actually counts, themselves.

A reflection of societies down turn or just the way the media portrays "celebs" - decide for yourselves.
