I'm pissed they aren't doing a record store day exclusive :(

I don't even know what record store day is.

I first got hauled off to watch MMA fights at bars with my friends in 2005. At first I hated it, thought that only the most barbaric individuals must be competing and didn't understand the appeal of two people fighting.

Then I started to really watch it and came away shocked at just how different it really was. The level of sportsmanship in MMA IMO, eclipses absolutely every other major sport on the planet. Two guys (or gals) beat the crap out of each other for 15 minutes, then at the end they smile, hug, shake hands, and even sometimes kiss! Most end up being good friends. Top that off with the amount of respect these fighters give their fanbase on a daily basis... its totally unlike other sports players that don't give two shits about the fans who pay their wages. Money corrupted them. You don't see much sportsmanship at all in other sports, you just see hate between players (hockey anyone?).

Top it off with the fact that some of these fighters do it for the love of the game, and respect the hell out of the art form, NOT FOR MONEY. How many sports player's these days in the NHL/MLB/NBA bitch because they aren't paid more than 20 million? Tons. Many of these athletes in MMA make peanuts in comparison. For some, MMA is a second job.

And the rules in place make it a far far safer sport than even Football, or Boxing. People think MMA is no holds bar but really it is quite managed and ONE KO and you are done. You don't get ten seconds to stand back up and get KO'ed another six times that night.

Yep, its that "styles make fights" aspect. Its literally Chess in a cage to me lol. Sometimes you see things that make you scratch your head. Mostly Anderson Silva doing matrix-style dodging of punches lol.

And to me its the purest sport of all. You just use your body. No ball, no equipment. It's just you and the other guy :) I don't really even think of it as violence.

You sold me.

Replace "cut out carbonated drinks" with "only drink water".
Hahaha this. That is the hardest part for most people. I see it with my father, he refuses to go on a diet because water is too simple.
Water is glorious for me, I don't really see the appeal on sodas and colas

Replace "buy music" with "goes physical/records."

The 18th Century apparently. I can't wait for them to invent this thing called the internet, it's awesome and allows you get music instantly and archive it on things not a huge hula-hoop size.

They see me trollin', they hatin'

When I'm at home I drink a fair bit of juice. Apple cider and cranberry are the usual culprits. However, since both my family and I are so used to water we usually water them down. Get to reduce sugar intake and make the drinks last longer. It's a win/win!

But yeah, drink your water. If you exercise regularly you'll develop a taste for it.

Water is so bland, I can't drink it without some flavor. But carbonated flavored water isn't much better than Soda... :/
 
I always have my stainless steel water bottle next to me when I'm home. Cutting soda out was no problem for me, even though I did drink a lot of it when I was younger.

Sodas and colas have flavour is the short answer.

Burp then...
I use Crystal Lights when I want flavor. They're pretty damn delicious, too.

The only carbonated drink I enjoy nowadays is Canada Dry Ginger Ale <3 I love that stuff. It gives some great burp gas, too, which is a nice bonus [to me].

If I go to restaurants or go to fast food joints, I always get lemonade. Not that it's any better.

Soda is so awful. I remember liking it enough as a kid, but it's PURE LIQUID SUGAR and devoid of any particularly appealing flavor. Water, tea, coffe - I rarely drink anything else. Carrot or apple juice is good too.

Also, Japan buys a f-ton of CDs and they're not exactly in the dark age of technology :p

Japan just hasn't gotten with the times. You know those HD consoles? Apparently they're too hard to render towns for according to the Japanese.

I miss Japan cannot wait to go back in October.

I usually try to get the Lipton Brisk Iced Tea if its available over pop. It's the best brand of ice tea I find. I doubt it's much better for me than a dr pepper though.

I need to vent. I'm have a completely fucked up sleep schedule due to my brother and I'm starting to go insane. He is legitimately screaming and yelling on skype for at least 7 hours every night. Sometimes he will skype for an entire day. It wouldn't be have bad if he were at a normal volume level, but he seems to have no understanding of how to not be loud. I've never heard a more annoying laugh in my entire life, and he has been nonstop laughing (at a volume where I could consider it screaming) for at least 30 minutes. I've told him to be quiet but he tells me "you don't own the house so you can't tell me what I can't do". Just because he's nocturnal doesn't mean he can fuck up my sleep.

It's got to the point where I get an hour or two a night. The worst is when he "cams" with people and he does the most disgusting things which a brother should never hear (I mentally vomited typing that sentence out). Let me just say, the girls in straight porn have a less shrill voice than him.

I'm lying on the cold dirty basement floor (he is on the second floor) and he's still loud from here. Someone cut off my ears.

EDIT (warning: not safe for life):
I think he just mentioned shoving a glow stick up his ass. This is going to be a looooooooong night.

Does your dad ever tell him to quiet down? Can't imagine you're the only one with complaints if it really is that loud/frequent and you're all sharing a house.

Maybe try listening to something else to divert your attention? I usually listen to mellow music or podcasts to fall asleep. Weird habit but it's nice to zone out to.

Yeah I still do this but I still manage to get my headphones in a knot trying to choke me. >_<

@MarkusRJR - wow, your brother really sounds like a huge dick. :/
Doesn't your father complain about him being so loud, though? He should be able to shut him up.

About the sleeping problem, have you tried earplugs?

I might gonna regret this, but I'm curious what exactly does he do that makes you mentally vomit? :p

I'm assuming he is loudly jerking off while being very graphic in his description of what he would want the other person to do to him.
No one's brother would want to hear that.

I usually just have one on since I typically sleep on my side, helps reduce that risk (I have this down to a science!).
Oh so do I. :p I am a master of laying my phone the correct way where It can charge and be under the pillow. Because lets face it, no one is sleeping on the other side of my bed. :(

Look who's talking, you got another kitty. :p

But yeah I want a puppy, maybe a pug. I'm sure my roommates won't mind, nor the cat.
They won't, they will eventually get rid of the cat because they're going to feel like the just need the dog, the cat will end being forgotten.
