Frank Mir beat Antonio Noguiera fir the UFC Interim Heavyweight title last night, it what was supposed to be the toughest challenge of his career.
Frank Mir, who 4 years ago was in a horrific motorcycle accident, and was told he would never fight again.
He worked through some serious adversity, some very lackluster fights, and alot of personal demons. Then, last year, a better Frank Mir showed up and beat Antoni Hardonk, then in February of this year, he beat Brock Lesnar in what was for some reason thought to be a huge upset.
And last night, he showed up in the best shape of his career (even before the accident) and beat Noguiera, relying mainly on his standup, which was thought to be his weakest point.
Now sometime early next year, he gets to fight Brock Lesnar again, who since his loss to Frank Mir, went on to beat Heath Herring, and then a returning Randy Couture for the UFC Heavyweight Championship. The winner of tis fight will be the undisputed UFC heavyweight title. My money is on Frank Mir (quite literally, if I can find a place to bet lol)
My point being, I am a lazy fuck. I've used the metal plate and 18 screws in my leg as an excuse not to be as active as I used to be. Never really outwardly putting it forth as an excuse, but in my head, it was always there. That little bitch of a thought that told me it was ok to be a lazy fuck, because I probably couldn't handle the kind of active lifestyle I was used to living anyway. That little bitch of a thought that told me doing just enough to get by was ok. That little bitch of a thought that somehow rationalzed being close to 80 pounds overweight.
Well fuck that.

Let the blogging begin
So here I am with yet another blog site....though to be fair I hardly blog on myspace or facebook, and rarely ever to I blog on livejournal anymore....so hopefully I will just condense it all into this one. maybe. If I ever use this one that is.
Anyway. Saw V. Came out today. I want to see it. In a plan brilliantly conceived by Adam last night, he is going to buy the first 4 on DVD. Then on payday, I'm gonna buy some alcohol. Then, we are going to proceed to get drunk and watch all 4. Sounds like a plan.
Seriously though, Saw V is at the top if my movies list right now.
Being stuck here at work, I begin to see the futility of it all.
So, with the possibility of less than 5 of us staying, the rest of us are all kind of up in the air about what to do. I have the opportunity to stay with Grubb and Ellis, working basically a customer service job. I'd get a pay increase and keep my benefits, and time in company, which is great. The problem is me doing customer service. Answering phones, dispatching the maintinence people, and whatever the hell else they do over at base 4. Part of me thinks, screw that, $16.50 an hour working for a BS company looks better than that. Then I remember how crappy Wackenhut really is and I am forced to reconsider once again. There's a couple of other options. Take a severence from Grubb and Ellis, and go work commercial EMS full time. Thats up there on my list. Why not? If I knew exactly what the severence was going to be, I'd be better informed on that decision, but we've heard 2 or 3 different possibilities. So, all in all, its probably going to be at least another week or two until all of the information is out on the table and I can finally make an informed decision. So that's another 2 weeks of wondering where I am going to work after November 30th.
(*edit: most of the jobs we thought were available with Grubb and Ellis proved to be nonexistent at this point in time, and there were serious doubts as to what would open in january. only 3 people, not counting our bosses, were offered permanent positions with Grubb and Ellis. The rest were offered temporary posiions for 1 month in hopes that something will be open by the end of that month)
I feel like this is the closest that the universe has gotten to making me play by its rules. I usually do whatever I want, regardless of consequence, and really don't worry about anything. I'm generally easy going, laid-back, carefree, and not tolerant of the BS most other people deal with when the universe decides that its their turn to get fucked. Now all of a sudden I'm worrying about this crap instead of just making the decision and moving on. WTF.
The World Series...tied at one game apiece for The Rays and the Phillies. Does anyone care?
