For anyone that does not know James Toney he is a boxer(apparently a really good one from what he says). A few years ago he ran his mouth about how he could beat the UFC fighters I think he called out a few people but nothing came of it. Recently he started up again running his mouth about the UFC so the president of the UFC Dana White scheduled a fight for Toney to put up or shut up. At UFC 118 James Toney fought Randy Couture. Randy is not the current heavy weight champion but he has been before. Since I do not care for people running their mouths I of course wanted to Toney to eat his words. Toney had about 9 months to train for the fight. When he weighed in weighed more than he ever had before at a weigh in. Even showing some butt crack when he pulled his pants off to weight in. The on lookers just laughed at him.
I did not expect the fight to last too long and it did not. Couture being a wrestler was able to take Toney down rather quickly. With Toney in unfamiliar territory(on his back) he did not know what to do. Couture controlled him easily and got to the mount position real quick. From the mount he flogged Toney in the head many times. Then Toney put his hand up to guard his face so Couture started a arm triangle and then let go again to get Toney into a better position. Smacked him around some more then got the arm triangle again, slide off Toney and onto the side to get a better choke then it was all over Toney tapped out.

After hurricane Katrina cops shot and killed citizens for no reason. Most had no weapons on them and were shot in the back. The police had a cover up going, they even met together to make sure their stories were right. I am very glad to see these people that are sworn to serve and protect us being tried for these charges. I believe in the past these people would have gotten away with it. With the internet and a skepticism of police work now these people are being tried for murder. I will be real happy when they are actually punnished. But you know they will get a slap on the hand and be let go. We’ll see.

This Friday will be 7 weeks til Sawyers expected due date. With every passing week I think we both get more anxious, scared and excited. We went to a child birth class last night, and going again next week. This class will hopefully clear up some uncertainty which is part of the reason we both are scared. We have no real idea what’s going to happen. I guess no one really knows though. Rereading this paragraph and it seems that the word scared it too strong of a word. Maybe uneasy is a better word.
So I weighed in this morning and I lost 2.4lbs last week. If it was not for the week or two where I gained then I would be down closer to where I want to be. But I know weight loss has it’s ups and downs. I think have about 11 more lbs to lose to reach my goal size. I say “I think” not because I’m bad at math but because I am really not sure what weight I will have to be to get down to the size I want. I am just guessing at a number.
With me getting down in weight I will have to push myself to work harder so I can lose this last bit of weight. More exercise, maybe some strength training and more strict diet. I will be sure this time to stay at the same weight once I reach my ideal size. I was hoping to reach my ideal size before Sawyer is born but I’m not sure if that’s going to happen.
At work we are doing a time study, where we categorize what we do throughout the day and submit it to accounting. One group of categories is capital(making money) and the other is expense(losing money). Here I work I do support which is by their definition an expense. I am done with 2 of the 3 projects, and the last one I was told to not do. They want me to leave that work for other employees when they have nothing else to do. So I have been reading through my Java books and writing code. But with the Time Study I have to look more busy so I started repairing errors in the DB before anyone finds them. Just not sure if there’s enough errors there to last me two weeks.
