So I’m sitting here in Denny’s, eating a Lumberjack Slam with dExtrosien (who is enjoying a Bacon Cheddar Burger), and suddenly dExtrosien points out the window and says “wow!”. There’s a three-car… no, make that a four-car fender-bender right out our window! As I write this, the Tuckahoe Rescue Squad is on the scene, tending to the likely whiplash victim. Airbags went off, hoods were crumpled… Yikes. Denny’s must have soundproof windows, because all we heard was a quiet thump.
But anyway, before all this happened, I was about to gush about my newest hero, Amir Sadollah. I’m not a big fan of wrestling, kickboxing, what have you, but one night I happened to switch to Spike and caught “The Ultimate Fighter”. I wasn’t going to watch it, but I noticed that right after these two guys got done grappling, pummeling, and brutalizing each other, they got up, shook hands, and hugged each other. Huh? What about all the trash-talking and bad attitudes? Where was that?
This was my first glimpse into the mindset and mentality of the UFC in general. But it was the first full fight I saw that really drew me in. It was between Matt Brown, and some kid named Amir Sadollah. Amir stood out to me, because they showed him as being from Richmond. So, to make a long-winded story short, I started watching the show regularly. Amir fought his way up through the ranks, and made his way to “The Ultimate Finale”, in which he fought against C.B. Dollaway (again). He won! By this point, I had come to see that Amir was a very unassuming guy, with a real humble attitude and a self-deprecating sense of humor. But he had what it takes, and he came out on top. He is now officially a UFC fighter. I can’t help but just like the guy. Congrats, Amir, and good luck in your fighting career with the UFC. You’re making Richmond proud!
Now, in less important news, I have recently created yet another Interactive Video Experience. It is the prequel to “Get in da House!” I call it “Get Out da Office”. Basically, you have to find the keys to the car and get out of the office without either blasting your eardrums out, or succumbing to the temptations at hand. Go play now! Surf Wisely!
