Think I remember you telling that story a few years back debating with Jbear about Gun Ownership. Think you would have been totally justified to have used one in that instance, but instead you diffused the situation (and were VERY LUCKY) and nobody had to die.


Also looking back on this thread....



It WAS a bunch of bullshit. I bailed on that shit with 6 credits to go because I hated it, and now I cook delicious food for ungrateful old people.

BLIM's QUESTION: So....on a lighter note, who is your favorite mmarmy fighter, your own or someone elses and why?

Not trying to be narcissistic, but got to go with my guy Fransico "All Violence Team" Barbosa. Not my best guy ever, but every fight was a fucking explosion waiting to happen. So many crazy finishes (including him suffering some). The variety of submissions and KOs was amazing. I was really amped every reset to get his fights in. Rocked out at first in legends circuit, and won an incredibly epic KOK 3 Tourney besting the all time legend Skip Lange in the Finals. Sadly got nerfed by build changes, but still my all time favorite.

What is your favorite/most memorable sports moment of your life?

There's been a few moments with basketball since it's what I watch the most but sticking with the mma theme it would have to be when Silva sub'd Sonnen. The build up to that fight got me hyped (especially since I was very young) and I watched it with some close friends on a vacation at a resort. The people I was with were just casual fans so I was hyping up Silva as a god to them and was utterly disappointed as he continually got his ass whooped the whole fight. Still clinging onto hope, when I saw the triangle attempt and then Sonnen tapping, I just died laughing at wtf just happened and proclaiming to my friends as to why Silva is the goat. Truly was an unbelievable moment, I talked about that shit for like a year lol

Have you ever been KTFO? What happened? How did it feel before, during and after?

Knocked down but never out

Hindsight is always 20/20 (looking back its still a bit fuzzy). Whats a bad decision you made that you would go back on if you had the chance?

I quit a job I hated went to another job I had lined up. I don't regret quitting my shitty job, but the new position I had lined up was not official, and they were going to pay me under the table. I was ASSURED that I was in like Flynn for a 40-hour a week job. My best friend (UngratefulDead for those that know) worked there at the time, so I was feeling good about it.

Yeah... Turns out the lady that ran the place was a nasty old bitch that lied to us both and told me not to come back after working there for 4 days after my last day at the old job. I became Jobless, depressed, and poor and had to move back in with my folks and completely start my life over. Although... I did win MMARMY COACH OF THE YEAR that year I was pathetic and unempolyed so there's that. Every time I feel like I'm doing poorly at this game, I just relax and think about how I was once very good at it, but my life overall was not as good and suddenly I'm content with sucking a bit at MMArmy.

Things are good now. I got gas in the tank, money in the bank, and I work doing something that I enjoy. I learned though... Don't ever accept a salaried position or an under the table position. You will either be a slave, or have no assurance that you'll be able to pay your next set of bills. So I don't actually know if I would undo any of it because I'm happy with where I'm at now, and that's all part of my journey, but I certainly learned my lesson.




Addendum:


What's in your fridge right now?

What's in your fridge right now?

Right now I've got a 12 pack of Mountain Dew and 12 pack of Cherry Pepsi. Yeah Soda is terrible for you and I don't give a dam!

I've got this Chipotle Mayo that's actually really good. After working at Subway for 7 years during High School and College I developed a love of Chipotle Southwest Sauce. Only problem is there is no store equivalent to the stuff that I can find. The current one Mr. Kensington's Chipotle Mayo is the closest I have found to the sweet sweet nectar of Chipotle Southwest at Subway.

There's a lot of lunch meat right now because my wife has developed some weird stomach bug in the last month. She's been to the doctors constantly and has no health insurance so I'm getting more sick thinking about it lol. But anyway she can apparently eat lunch meat without any pain, so we have a lot of it.

Oranges were on sale this week so I got a big ass bag of those. They are really freaking sour and struggle to eat one each morning. But I paid for them so I'm gonna eat them dammit.

We've got some grapes and apples too. More "stomach friendly food"

Oh and some greek yogurt. Again stomach thing.

Whole Milk because I learned a few years back all the positives of milk comes from the fat so go big or go home. Also have REAL butter. Unsalted. Same reasoning.

There's some unidentified leftovers that I will no doubt throw away eventually.

What's your favorite way to smoke marijuana? Glass? Blunt?
Bong? Vape? Other?

Gonna keep this moving. Something interesting about me is that I have never smoked weed even once. No desire for it.

Are you happy with yourself? Why or why not?

I'm pretty happy with myself.I have a beautiful family,a job,a roof over our head with the ability to pay all my bills.



What movie have you watched before,and still kinda tear up every time you see it?

Hotaru No Haka (Grave of the Fireflies) - Holy shit. So sad. Although I can't say for sure if I'd cry watching it again because that shit is so sad, I would never watch it again.

Any Disney Pixar movie which are DESIGNED to take you as an emotional hostage, and force you to watch cute little characters reconcile with things like: Cancer, Infertility, Death of loved ones, Thoughts of suicide, Global Destruction.

The Green Mile - Don't make me watch Michael Clark Duncan cry... What? He won't wear the hood because he's scared of the dark!!?? Jesus!!
