yes, tonight is the super bowl. the super bowl of boxing.
manny pacquiao vs. oscar de la hoya
there is so much talk and hype about this fight that started off as a rumor last year. i mean we were trying to go to vegas for this fight and the cheapest tickets at the time were like 5 bills - 'nosebleed'!
there is alot of hype surround this fight. one of them is that both are coming from different weight classes so many are calling it a mismatch in de la hoyas favor. the other one is the drama. he said this, he said that. freddie roach, pacquiaos trainer now was de la hoyas former trainer. de la hoya talking about filipinos blah blah blah.
anyways, should be good. if i could tell manny anything right now, id tell him "DEFENSE!"
i know i havent really "xanga'd" in awhile but today i feel as if i need to make a mark here to mention how our economy is screwed.
first it was fannie and freddie. then it was lehman brothers. myrill lynch had to be acquired by bank of america. washington mutual failed not too long ago (now jp morgan chase). now its wachovia who did not technically "fail" but is having to be saved by citigroup.
stocks are plumeting...
its so chaotic my ticker is going insane!
"The House of Representatives today rejected a $700 billion plan to
bail out the U.S. financial system, putting a roadblock in front of the
largest government intervention in the markets since the Great
Depression." - CNN
ps. if you dont know what this means or dont have a clue of what i am talking about, then you are screwed X 100
many people i know have been using twitter to keep up-to-date with friends. basically you enter your status online or through text using twitter and it updates everyone who subscribed to you. the only problem you may come across is if you are set up to have the updates sent to you via text and the people you have subscribed to tend to update every minute and you dont have unlimited text.
ultimately i think its pretty cool, just make sure you are subscribed to who you really want to hear from or youll be hearing about how someone is grinding coffee at midnight. of course there is a setting to 'turn-off' your alerts between certain times if you want.
its really easier than it sounds.
then came twitterpic. same concept but with pics. with this app you can send a pic of something from your phone and send it as an update to your subscribers. you also have the option of uploading from your computer.
i thought id share some of the twitterpics ive taken so far. this is in a span of about a month and a half. i dont do this daily.

late night sushi you can never get tired of sushi. except maybe if you work at a sushi restaurant. which reminds me of a story of a friend i have that worked at a sushi place i will not name. he came home one night with all this sushi, and it went a little something like this:
friend: "are you hungry?"
me:"hell yea!"
friend:"man i have a bunch of sushi from work, lets eat!"
so we are eating and it is quiet for a few minutes
me:"how did you get all of this?"
friend:*laughs* "well dont get grossed out, but these are like leftovers but i swear they werent touched"
