Fight Night: Monks vs. Commies
Let me try to put this in perspective for you, Osama Bin Laden is to America as the Dalai Lama is to China. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and His Holiness The Dalai Lama are totally pissed at each other and might be featured in an upcoming no-holds-barred UFC style face-off. Several major networks are looking to capitalize on what could be the fight of a lifetime. The whole thing started because of a recent protest on March 10th, the anniversary of a failed 1959 uprising against China. In 1950 after a long time of Tibet being independent of them, Chinese troops showed up at their front door and said "we own you now bitches", and Tibet was all "your the ones who are bitches, bitch", and this went on and on, and is still going on to this day. The main focus of the monks is "Shut up about the Olympics in Beijing and look at all the fucked up bad shit ya'lls is doin". Unfortunately, early reports say that up to about 100 people may have died in these recent protests in Lhasa, The D.L. has stated to China and Tibetans "stop committing violence". Wen Jiabao is convinced and claims that they have evidence linking the violent acts directly to the "Dalai Clique". In the end the Dalai Lama has offered two solutions, either he steps down from his position, or they have it out in a man-to-man, one-on-one, pay-per-view bash. It seems like Wen is negotiating the stipulations of the fight with his agent and is close to inking the deal. Early numbers are Looking like this:
Dalai Lama -2000
Wen Jiabao +1300

Little People That Can Kill Your Shit
No, I'm not talking about midgets, or as I like to call them, "long torso's", the people I am talking about do not have un-proportionally short arms and legs. These guy's proportions are closer to what the Greeks referred to as the "golden ratio", I better reel myself back in before I get lost in my own thoughts. Anyway, tomorrow I get to train (for 5 hours) with two Thai Boxing legends, I was leaving my gym last week and saw a flyer for a training seminar at Team Toro in the burbs. Samart Payakaroon and Saekson Janjira are two relatively small people, roughly 5'7ish" 135ish lbs. but they could kill the living shit out of you faster than you can say, "I think that hooker in Bangkok was a man". These two dudes have the reputation of being possibly two of the best Thai fighters of all time, so I'm pretty excited to have this opportunity to train and if I play my cards right, kiss with them. below are links to something called youtube (??) with videos of these rediculously bad motherfrickers killin' it, little person style. Enjoy.

Teen Wolves in Sheep's Clothing
I'm not really trying to make any profound statement with the title, it just sounds good, maybe. I'm talking about the "Teen Wolf" movies, but you probably gathered that from the posters above. There's really not a whole lot else to say about these movies, other than they are a good rewatch if you haven't seen them in a long time or ever in the case of "Teen Wolf Too". Michael J. Fox and Jason Bateman paved the way for their careers with these roles, and you can pave the way for a suceessful and happy life just by watching them. The issues of these movies are much deeper than the surface allows you to see. They deal with important issues like; tolerance, prejudices, peer pressure, and many other things America's youth has to deal with on a daily basis. To give just a taste, here are some links to the trailers of "Teen Wolf" and "Teen Wolf Too":

Gods of the World (No.1)
This is a Mayan God I stumbled across while looking for information about different Gods of the world. His job was to be the God of death and the king of Mintal, which I learned was the 9th sector of the Mayan underworld, the lowest and worst part of it. So, if you use your imagination it's probably a lot like Gary, Indiana (although I think Michael Jackson was from Gary so it can't be that bad). The Mayans decided to have this God look like a skeleton or corpse that was sporting some bells. Typically, he was depicted with a human or owl head, apparently mayans looked at the sound of an owl screeching as immanent death. Many Mexicans and Central Americans still feel this ways about owls. They hang out a lot and always say: "Cuando el tecolote canta, el indio muere", (when the great owl sings, the indian dies) it's actually become a pop culture catch phrase down there. Go get an ice cream cone and think about it.
