Carwin V.S. Lesnar 1 – UFC 116 Is This Weekend!

seattlestuff — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:07:34 +0000

Finally! The fight I have been talking about forever - Lesnar V.S. Carwin. No one believed me when I said Shane Carwin would be fighting Brock Lesnar. But they have the most similar builds and strengh, nearly identical wrestling history and overall they’re perfectly matched stylistically!

I just watched the Frank Mir V.S. Shane Carwin fight a few minutes ago which got me even more pumped. I am so excited to watch the fights this weekend I can hardly stand it.

I have not clue who will win, but I’m definitely rooting for Shane Carwin, because I think Brock Lesnar’s a cocky dick and Shane Carwin seems like a stand-up guy. Right now people have voted in favor of Carwin over Lesnar 59% to 41% on UFC.com

If you want to wath the fights, UFC 116 is this weekend on Pay-per-view at 10Pm Et. I’ll be watching them at BB McGraws in Auburn. BB’s just recently started showing the UFC fights, so there is usually plenty of room to sit down still without having to get there really early. I believe it costs $5 to get in the door.

Some times….

seattlestuff — Wed, 05 May 2010 20:17:52 +0000

Some times I wish I could have just five minutes away from work to catch my breathe.

Some times I wish things would go smoothly for a change.

Some times I wish I had more money to invest in the right places.

Some times I wish I could manage peoples’ expectations better.

Some times I wish people would be a little more realistic.

Some times I wish competitors would join forces instead of trying to get one another in trouble.

Some times I wish I would just keep my mouth shut.

Some times I wish I didn’t have to do the things I do.

Some times it would be nice to catch a break.

Some day it will all work out. I hope.

Governor Gregoire – I am making my case as a citizen of Washington: now is NOT the time to be talking about raising taxes.

seattlestuff — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:03:41 +0000

One year ago, while on the campaign trail and right after her reelection, Christine Gregoire repeatedly said “now is not the time to raise taxes”. She said no one would consider raising taxes in an economy as bad as we were suffering a year ago. Now she’s asked legislative leaders to make their case to RAISE YOUR TAXES… She’s a liar! Here the sound bites, and tell her how you feel here: http://www.mynorthwest.com/?sid=219692&nid=568

M’s Take Detroit Series

seattlestuff — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 21:08:22 +0000

Once again, the Seattle Mariners come from behind to take yet another series, beating the Detroit Tigers 2-1 today.

Gosh these guys are fun to watch this year. Finally after the Griffey hype wore off, the team as a whole is pulling it together. Griffey, is just one of the many great assets the Mariners have this year.

No matter who comes to the plate, I feel like we have a real shot of making things happen.

Go M’s! Let’s at least secure that wildcard. Plenty of games left!!!

The American League West Gets Exciting!

seattlestuff — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 16:25:04 +0000

M’s fall short in last night’s rally ending a 3 game win streak. Luckily the Seattle Mariners still only remain 2.5 games back from first place in the American League West as the Texas Rangers lose yet another one making that it a 5 game losing streak. Hopefully the Mariners can pull it together tonight – they should – considering they are playing the San Diego Padres with a losing record of 31 and 38.

A noteworthy stat from last night’s game was Ken Griffey’s Jr’s home run making it the Mariners 5,000th franchise home run. It appears Griffey has retrieved the ball from a generous fan, and returned it to the Mariners for display. Griffey wouldn’t say what he had to give up to get the ball back from the fan, just that fan was reasonable, and would be taken care of for his generosity.

Machida Rocks Evans!

seattlestuff — Tue, 26 May 2009 21:02:27 +0000

What an outstanding UFC fight this weekend! I couldn’t be happier with the second round knockout of Rashad Evans by Lyoto Machida. I’ve been saying Lyoto Machida is the best pound for pound fighter for years now, and very few agreed. With this knockout victory over undefeated Evans, I wonder what these people are saying now.

Phil Mickelson Better get his A$$ in Gear for the 2009 Masters

seattlestuff — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 23:56:44 +0000

Let’s hope Phil Mickelson can pull it together after missing the cut at the Shell Houston open this past weekend. Mickelson, off a two win streak, and who missed the previous week because he was not feeling well; made a poor return at the Shell Houston open by missing the cut. Now that Tiget is back, and hot, we need someone to regularly give him a run for his money. I was/am hoping this is Phil’s year!
