Yup, it’s been three days without eating meat. It’s not much of a deal yet as I’ve gone about six to seven days without meat before. So far I’ve been eating noodles, bread, and candy. I feel a bit tired but that’s probably due to lack of sleep from Rosco waiting me up in the middle of the night.

It’s the first of September and a fresh start for a new month. I’ve been pretty busy lately and haven’t really have time just to relax. Again, I’ve been taking care of Rosco by taking him to the vet and continuing to housebreak him as well as working the other half of the day. It’s practically the end of summer and I haven’t even solved my Rubik’s cube nor did I finish Final Fantasy VII. Hopefully I’ll be able to complete both in the near future. I also got two races coming next month and I should be in training.

Well, with all the things I’ve started and haven’t yet completed I decided to take on another project; I’ll try to be a vegetarian for the month of September. You heard that right. No meat for 30 days. I’ve known to be eating constantly and removing meat from my diet is basically everything. The longest I’ve gone with out meat was probably about seven days. Lets see how far I can go. I can’t promise anything, but I’ll definitely try my hardest. I’ll be posting my meals and status from time to time on my blog, so it’ll be a good way to journalize this so-called experiment. Yesterday, I spent my day pigging myself out to hotlinks, turkey sandwiches, and a gut-busting meal from In and Out Burger. Now, as I look at my scale I weigh about 159 lbs, which is a little more on the average of what I usually weigh. Lets see if this vegetarian thing all its cut out to be.

No more vegetables, more coffee!

What a stud!

I’ve been very busy taking care of Rosco and working and all. I haven’t had time to go running at all last week. Well, its another weekend for MMA as one of the most anticipated show ever is on tomorrow. Looks like this will be another weekend where I’ll be staying home again, but this time I got Rosco to hang out with.

Known as MMA in the community. MMA is one of the fast growing sport in the world. Many people know it mainly through the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) or Pride Fighting Championship events. These are the two largest MMA organizations. UFC is an American organization whereas Pride is mainly in Japan but is considered to be more of an international organization since it represents a large demographic of fighters from around the world. My first time seeing an MMA event was back in the early 90’s when I saw the first UFC event on VHS, now I’ve been actively interested in MMA since 1999.

These MMA events have fighters who are well-versed in many aspects of fighting disciplines ranging from judo, wrestling, boxing, muay thai, jiu-jitsu, and to other combat styles to compete against each other. Many people see MMA as a barbaric spectacle sport. Actually, its is a very organized and controlled sport much like any popular sport organization that exists.

Think of MMA as a physical chess game where fighters use their strategy and skills to overtake their opponent. There are many ways to win in a fight. There are submissions, knockouts, doctor stoppages, ref stoppages, corner stoppages, or through a judges decisions. Some fights have been won without a punch being thrown. These fighters don’t fight out of anger or evilness. They fight to prove that they have better skills, that they are better trained, and is the better athlete. Competitive fighting is one of the oldest sport in the world and many people are just starting realize how amazing it is.

The reason this is in my blog today is because there is a UFC event tonight which has a couple of my favorite fighters fighting tonight. And the following week Pride is also having an event pitting two of my favorite fighters fighting for the world heavy weight championship as well as it will be the finals for the middle weight grand prix tournament.
