I Know you are... But what am I?!

The world over loves the underdog, the natural growth of boy to man (Bildungsroman) is probably one of the most popular forms of literature. The Story of David and Goliath of Biblical times, and even the American dream posses that primordial kernel of the underdog rising to greatness. In that same vein people also like to see evil defeated, obstacles conquered and Goliath slain.

Watching an Anderson Silva fight combines none of the traits that make up the elemental story that appeals to almost everyone. Instead, like Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown's kick for 50 years, Anderson Silva has danced and taunted his way across another opponent. It was nearly 2 minutes into the fight when the first punch was thrown and that really set the pace of that 25 minutes I wish I had back.

We all know Silva did not need 5 rounds to finish the much lesser opponent in Leites, I am not going to argue with his abilities, he is the best in the world. In the last two fights he has waged he has shown little respect for his opponents and begins to take on a cartoony Frank Shamrock "come and get me" attitude and stance. Its a shame a David can't be found to knock down this Goliath. Now that would be a story.

Joe Rogan, when searching for a reason for Booing at the worst title fight I have ever seen in the UFC current or past don't place blame on an "uneducated" French Canadian fanbase. Blame it on the middleweight champion who goes out and does nothing for 25 minutes of an event that the UFC made millions on. Silva can keep defending his belt but why waste his name as the main event of another lackluster event.

Hows that for Po Mo?! Seth Grahame-Smith takes a classically dry book they make you read in some highschools and turns it into the book you want to do your 3rd year university Post Modern Literature term paper on. The author of a couple of books I already own, How to survive a Horror Movie: All the Skills to Dodge the Kills and a favourite of mine The Big Book of Porn: A Penetrating Look into the World of Dirty Movies comes up with his next project. I can't wait to get my hands on this one. Aparently it does contain much of the original text with passages of zombies tossed in. So maybe I'll finish reading this one.

Here here for Zombies!

HAZAA!

Well fair city, after a year of, "You should come boxing, it'll kick your ass!" nearly once a week I finally broke down and decided to try it. I was nervous so the only thing I could hold down was a triple thick protein shake and half a redbull cola. And it didn't take that decision long to become a regret as I skipped, pushupped ran and jumping jacked. Its been almost 6 weeks since I was involved in anything anyone would call labour so needless to say I was a little rusty. I managed to make every bell although my supper was reminding me to keep my mouth shut. I felt unbelievably great afterward, I don't nescessarily subscribe to the healthy and active lifestyle, though God had granted me with the tools. This decision has already had a positive impact on my life. Why even today, Monday I made myself a pastrami wrap with lettuce and cucumber instead of reaching for old faithful HUNGRYMAN to crave my lunchtime hungers.
