The Flavours of The Unknown

How pitiful that most people are living in the back ends of narrow caves when it comes to good beer. How many people have heard the term "craft beer?" What about "microbrewery?" For the most part, you will get laughed at or scorned if you suggest a brand of suds that is superior to the mass marketed liquid garbage so many people buy and foolishly praise.

Try a little experimentation for once! It is always worth exploring the deeper aisles of the liquor store than to remain at the cheap shores with nothing but bland, dwindling waves of repeated analogies, for the inadequacies of the beer industry are overwhelming all at the front, with those afraid to step beyond the common barrier remaining ignorant forever - forever blind with no desire to see.

Good beer all the way!

MMA will always be business first

Apparently, Dana White and his billionaire mafia feel that Frankie Edgar had won the fight.

“I talked to Lorenzo (Fertitta) and he believes Frankie scored 3 to 2, Dana White scored Frankie winning the fight.”

TRANSLATION / WHAT THEY REALLY MEANT:

"Dana and Lorenzo are upset because Frankie Edgar was en route to becoming a legend - a stable/dominant champion that generates huge money due to success-based popularity - and now Ben Henderson, a man who (despite his talents) could potentially lose to fighters such as Anthony Pettis, has displaced him, therefore ruining any massive business potential that Edgar was tapping into, throwing the entire lightweight division and its overseers into a state of mayhem."

A tribute to my dog, Pumpkin

In loving memory of my beautiful dog, Pumpkin C. She would've been 8 years old on January 12, 2012, but sadly she passed away 8 days before her birthday. We miss her and love her very much. This video is a tribute to the life of Pumpkin and the happiness she has brought everyone.

REST IN PEACE... We'll miss you dearly, and we'll always love you. <3

We look forward to being with you again in the afterlife when our times come!

Blue eyes, black fur, white underside, a heartwarming smile, you were more beautiful than the rest - the most beautiful dog I've ever known - and taught me a lot about life and kindness. You were always faithful, loyal, loving, forgiving and caring, and you had a big heart and amazing will power. Out of everyone I've known in my life, you were the purest, as you have never betrayed anyone or done wrong to anyone, and you brought true joy and unparalleled happiness to me and my entire family. I love you and will miss you greatly, but I know that you will be watching over us with loving eyes and understand that we took you to peace because we love you and you never deserved to suffer so terribly. I'm sorry for not having walked you enough, nor played with you enough, but know that every second I've spent with you I've always cherished, and I've always loved you like a daughter or little sister. I love you Pumpkin, and I look forward to seeing you again. Rest in peace, and God bless you.
RIP baby, I love you.

Comment on Brock Lesnar MMA article

Yes, Brock Lesnar was an anomaly, seemingly born from rare yet concurrent shadows of potential and terror. Athletic gifts, scientific wrestling – so few attributes, yet built of crude prominence, enough to dazzle the unsuspecting and engulf the unfortunate. Lesnar’s career sloughed away in painful moments of overwhelming losses, starting with his doomed struggle against the superior Cain. However, his fate had not been enough to taint his legacy, for he has proven himself among the greats – with an atypical lack of experience – and left his mark much like a twister does after an intense few minutes of absolute destruction.

Lesnar – MMA’s tersest phenomenon.
