Got the Rock Ready Crew
So I wish I could say I was watching, this tonight but sadly I am not about to pony up a bunch of dough for a pay-per-view HBO fight tonight. Hell no, but man. A little bit of me wished I had. I mean I love Floyd Mayweather's style (in the ring, not outside of it, that's just silly fly-boy shit) with his crazy defense and stellar movement and footwork, but Hatton is my boy. That kid is sick. I read about his disgusting weight loss/work out program in ESPN magazine--about how he loses 30 lbs in a month or less--and that shit is inspiring kid. Yes I am a yo boy. Whuuut up?
Whatever.
But no really, Hatton is one of those stars in boxing that I love to watch. His trainer is cool and I love his regiment. Mayweather on the other hand is the cream of the crop, probably the best I'll ever see in my lifetime, yes better than Muhammad Ali, hands down, Mayweather has the stroke, the moves, the defense, and the grit with the dramatic storylines that made watching WWF on Sunday afternoons awesome back in the day.
Whatever.
Enough boxing talk. Today is my brother's birthday. He's become a man. That's crazy.
X-mas is coming up. I've never been much of a fan of holidays or birthdays really. I guess the sort of celebrating I enjoy, is just the getting together part, I don't really care much for the presents, traditions, and all that hogwash. But this year is the second christmas with my son, and my family. And it kind of took ahold of me when I was out buying a tree this year--yes I bought a tree! Craziness, I know! It was pretty cool and I really got jazzed up, wanting to celebrate with my son and watch his excitement and wonderment as he opens his gifts. He's really starting to talk and say stuff, and understand what we're saying and communicate back. It's exciting times and awesome to watch and witness his daily growth.
So I think people should quit doing the whole New Year's resolutions stuff and instead do an End Year resolution. That would be when we start counting down the days till the end of the year, you make a resolution, to start doing something/complete some task/whatever BEFORE the END of the year! You'll read about this genius invention or tradition in a book some day, kid! I pinky promise!
New music that's good? Hmm let me think. New Jesu is great as is the new Radiohead album. I heard that Phil Anselmo has a new band out called Arson Anthem where he plays guitar. I saw him all strung out and high on Headbanger's Ball. I mean, I guess when I was younger I'd be like "whoa, cool", or something, MAYBE?, (doubtful, I never really got into that idolization of drugged out 'tards scene), but this struck me as rather pathetic. I mean, I know he's several years my elder and here he is, probably riding the H-train or at least with a little THC TLC, and I just thought, wow what an idiot. Here you are on national TV to promote the music you say you love, your total passion, and you're "teaching" some guy how to box. I remember how much bigger that dude was when I met him at Ozzfest yeaaaaaars ago, but I guarantee at the moment they were filming that stuff, I could have given him a swift push and knocked him on his buttocks. I'm not preaching straightedge-hood or something like that, I really don't care what puffs up your skirt, but don't expect me not to mock you trying to be all serious and artistic and "creative" when you're just an obvious burn-out whose looking to chase the dragon a couple more times.
Also my brother-in-law has loaned me his sampler, and I haven't even fucked with it yet. Weak.
