I don't think I'm going to bother with titles anymore unless one really jumps out at me... bah!

Anyway a friend of mine made a really good observation last night... Jan 2008 has it in for our group of friends. If its not happening to one of us specifically... its happening to our loved ones. I can only hope that we will all survive this year...

On a more irate note while watching UFC fight night I saw this preview:


I'll be honest... I'm appalled. I don't know what to say but this guy said it the best:

As a mixed martial arts fan, I think this film (if it's successful at the box office) could probably help set the UFC and other organizations back a couple of years in their emerging mainstream acceptance. It basically makes MMA look like a bunch of rich kids having underground, unsanctioned fights at parties. The fights are filled with illegal strikes to the back of the head and soccer kicks and stomps that are legal in Japan, but not in the US and come off as particularly brutal and bloody in the film. When there are rules at the underground tournament finale, they're virtually the same as UFC 1 (no biting, no eye gouging, no groin strikes).

This is from the IMDb for Never Back Down.

And what should I find the next day... I have to say there is some bitterness.

Here's to January!!
