manny

Went to the manny vs clottey fight this past saturday. First boxing match i've ever been to.

Said it a million times already, but tailgating was better than the fight. I don't know why i thought tailgating was so fun, when i think about it, it just was just drinking outside with a bunch of friends and playing a bunch of games, but now i just thought about how awesome that sounds. pin the punch on the clottey. i heard there was food, but i didn't eat any cause i didn't try to

Jessica came without a ticket, worst case scenario was that she would have had to sit in a car after tailgating while we all watched the fight. better case scenario was that we could find a game day ticket for her, which is what happened, bet that felt awesome for her cause it probably felt sucky that she might have to sit in the car by herself for like 3 hours

the fight was disappointing because it seemed like clottey wasn't trying to win, so he threw like 5 punches, which all hit square on manny's face, but manny was punching the whole time even though it looked like none were landing. it's pretty ridiculous that manny keeps up that pace for 12 rounds straight even when he's past 30 years old. i guess you'd be kinda scared if all of clottey's punches were connecting, but i figure if clottey would have tried to win and punched more, then it would just open up everything for manny at the same time, no way clottey's defense is as good when he's trying to attack. clottey's eyes were super red even before the fight started, probably smoked in the locker room. also manny didn't look as awesome as usual, maybe clottey's defense and lack of punching was the cause, or maybe he didn't care as much either, he's not gonna fight for a while since he's running for some office in the philippines.

Just thinking about how awesome my weekends are. This past friday, happy hour with jessica, then rudyard's, then house party. Saturday, dallas with the cousins and friends for tailgating and manny fight. Sunday back from dallas to go eat crawfish with family and then play some beer baseball at chris' cause jarryd's in town. only sucky thing is that it all includes alcohol, was looking up some stuff and it sounds like i'm in the heavy drinker category, not an alcoholic, but definitely not an occasional drinker. during the week i only drink water unless we do some kind of happy hour or something because i know how much i drank the past weekend.

Everyone's getting allergies including me. i've never been one to take medicine, but how can i pass up prescription stuff for free that the doctor says works? can't, and it's working

  3. There's like 30 minutes of commercials between rounds in the PI. Not that I know, but I read it on the internet.
