Sunday Reflectons

Time for those Reflections

Music to listen to: Drilling by Minus the Bear

Chilling on a Sunday night to Minus the Bear, love those guys.

-My company had its Christmas party on Friday and it was a festive occasion. We all work hard at our office and anytime you get to blow off some steam and actually spend social time with your co-workers in a relaxed environment, it’s a good time.

I made my best efforts to avoid getting the “lampshade” award and if you don’t know what that is, look it up. I was heading towards the honor but decided to leave early to not get close to it. Its not my fault that there was an open bar and fun times, a perfect recipe for potential bad things.

The interesting thing about holiday parties is that you get to see your co-workers in a different light. Sometime you have that co-worker that you didn’t consider that attractive come around and blow you away. You also get to see their significant others, which gives you an insight of who your co-workers are kicking it with when not in the office.

Also, yes, you do get to see the co-workers intoxicated, which doesn’t sound as fun as it sounds. Part of you wants to laugh but you also realize that all of us have been the drunk guy at the party and that’s not a fun place to be.

Overall, it was fun and can’t wait for next years.

-I didn’t see the UFC fights from Saturday but from the reports I’ve read, BJ Penn dominated Diego Sanchez, which is something that I thought would happen. BJ is my favorite fighter ever and was a major reason that I started following mixed martial arts in the first place. To see him return to this dominant form as a lightweight after toiling as a welterweight and above is great and dare I say inspiring.

Speaking of inspiring, my second-favorite MMA fighter, Frank Mir, laid the hammer down to Kongo last night as well. Mir has a new physical look and this will help him greatly in the heavyweight division.

I need to see the full fights for a true analysis.

-Saw the documentary last night on ESPN about the legacy of the University of Miami football teams in the 1980’s and it was EXCELLENT! I seriously recommend you check it out. It touches on the skill of the players, the economic and racial undertones of the program and everything in between.

-Congrats to Mark Ingram for winning the Heisman but I would have gone with Suh. The award has really gotten to the point of it going to the best player on the best team, but if you go with that theory, the best Bama player in my opinion is the linebacker McLean. However, respect to Ingram who genuinely seemed moved by receiving the award.

Good fight and good night everyone.
