watched ninja scroll again. Bad ass movie. SPX you should check out the movie "Pi" on netflix.

Ninja Scroll is awesome.

And I have seen Pi. Got it in a DVD set with Requiem for a Dream. I actually didn't get into it. Just too fucking weird for me.

Maynard still not cleared to fight; Edgar rep says champ could be ready by October

Interesting. And Pettis has lost so it's not like that fight makes sense anymore.

I am officially done with my first two years of college, so I have an A.A. degree now. Gotta take my general knowledge test in 2 weeks or so along with submitting some other shit to another school and then I start going for my bachelors...in education.

That's quite the accomplishment, PP. Good job. (Somebody cue the clapping gif from Citizen Kane.)

Why education?

[SPX]

Yes.

Have you watched any of that shit?

Yeah I just found out about Pi I thought it was pretty cool, weird for sure.

Thanks...its something I have always considered so I am going to give it a go. I think I will enjoy doing it. I might go for a masters in social work part time too while teaching.

Have you watched any of that shit?

I don't even open it. Why am I getting it?





On another note, I am going to start preparing for a NASM certification, I am hoping to get it by the end of the year. It is a well established personal training certification, I think it will be a good way to make some money. There is a new gym opening in town ran by a guy who is all into powerlifting and bodybuilding so I think I will be able to either work at his gym or bring my own clients there to train and get away with giving him a minimal cut of my wages.

Are you in a community college right now, I've never heard of a general knowledge test.

I was, it is considered a state college because thhey offer a couple bachelors degrees now in nursing and stuff. I will be transferring to USF as of August, but it is one of those local branch campuses, I wont be at the actual University. I think I might go to the university my senior year to get the "college experience". The general knowledge test is just a test you need to get into education programs.

I didn't really get it. I was just like, What the fuck is this? Darren Aronofsky always does weird shit, but that one was to far over the edge for me.

It's an interesting film though in the way that it was financed and how much it cost to make. It was Aronofsky's springboard into being a Hollywood filmmaker.

Stay away from the "college experience", I know many of friends that never graduated because they got sucked in to the "college experience".



Of course you could become a mma bookie..............

They're promoting a project that is described as "a 14 episode mini-series featuring mixed martial arts' biggest names speaking about Bruce Lee's enduring impact on the world." I haven't watched any of them yet, but apparently Couture, Anderson Silva, BJ Penn, Frank Mir, Nick Diaz and others all make appearances in some form or another.


Here's episode 1:

I have considered getting a personal training cert several times. I just haven't had the money to buy all the study materials and shit.
