FANTASY FOOTBALL

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

I am in a fantasy football league with my roomates and a few other people this season.  Last night we held our live draft and picked our teams.  Yours truly landed the number one pick.  That means Adrian Peterson for this guy!  The only problem with drafting first was that I had to wait to the last pick of the 2nd round until I got to pick again.  But then I got to pick in first in the 3rd round, so I had back to back picks all the way through the draft.

Overall I’m pretty happy with my picks.  I got AP, Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Grant, Ronnie Brown, Rob Bironas, and Steve Smith.  I’m a little weak at WR, TE, and Defense but am only projected to lose two head to head matches up this season.  On my bench I have Hasselback and Sanchez sitting.  Hopefully one of them plays like a champ so I can trade away the other guy for another WR.  I’m also hoping Percy Harvin puts up decent stats this season.  Below is a screenshot of my lineup (click on it to see it full sized).  I’ll try to update weekly to show you how my team is doing.

I didn’t go to North Vernon last night because the guy i was supposed to train with canceled on me.  I’m disappointed, but if he’s sick, he’s sick.  There’s nothing I can do about it.  Maybe we’ll reschedule for next week.  Either way, I need to get going on being active again.

I just finished reading Randy Couture’s book.  It was good but I never realized how much Randy cheated on his wives or how his realationship with the UFC was so rocky.  I recommened reading it for anyone who loves MMA/UFC.  Up next on my “To Read” list is A Fighters Heart by Sam Sheridan, followed by Forrest Griffins book.

GOING TO NORTH VERNON

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Tomorrow I’m going to North Vernon to meet a friend of a friend who supposedly is very good at mma.  He trains a few times a week over in Indianapolis with Chris Lytle and his crew.  So it could be potentially very good for me to work with him.  I haven’t rolled at all since I left Alaska unless you count the beatings I put on Sam in the living room.

Alex is moving in later in the week and we’re going to start working out again.  We went out for a run the other day and are talking about getting memberships to the YMCA.  Things are beginning to look up.  I went swimming today and got a good tan going on.  The only problem with that is I’m sure it’s going to suck grappling with a sunburn.  I’ll let you know how it went when I get back tomorrow.

PICTURE UPDATE

I came home today and found Darci had gotten into the cat food.

 

This is Blues.  She was sitting against the wall when I came home and it was just an obvious photo op, so I planted a bottle next to her.  This is what I got. lol

The wonderful people of Indianapolis having a drink.

Indians game.

Baseball!

Brittany at the game with her mangled thumb.  What a trooper, those knives will get ya! lol

I’M BACK (AGAIN)

I’m back.

Michael, change your name to something appropriate.  How about “White Corey Hill?”

Mom, if you don’t like it then don’t read it (Or at least don’t give me a hard time about it).

Now, let’s all play nice and enjoy my blog.
