UFC 101 Anderson Silva

August 31, 2009 2 comments

I finally caught up with my missed UFC fight night last week.

Anderson Silva is my absolute favourite fighter ever. He is a master of Muay Thai and also very underestimated with his ground Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

He was criticised in his last two fights because they weren’t spectacular but it wasn’t his fault.

He is so good, that Dana White has decided to make him fight in the upper weight category, against the ex light heavyweight champion of the UFC, Forrest Griffin.

He put an ex champion to shame, making him look like a newbie to the sport. Here’s the video so you can all see that Anderson Silva is indeed, an alien. Or in the matrix.

Forrest Griffin vs Anderson Silva Video- UFC 101

He is in his own league… Makes one ask himself how far we can push the guy with weird matchups… I hope they never make him fight that fatty Brock Lesnar.

Wallpaper of the Week

I hate Microshaft Access… And my boss asked me to “meld” two databases together… I skimmed through Access classes in Uni and I never touched it again… Hopefully it’ll all come back to me in due time 😦

Anywayyyyyy it’s time for Wallpapers of the week!!!

This week’s is inspired by a very famous painting. I found this painting and some funny variations of it and I had never saved them… Thing is that i didn’t know the artists name!! It took me a lot of searching but in the end I found out that the Artist’s name is Edward Hopper and the painting is Nighthawks.

These variations were made by fans.

Facts:

– “Nighthawks is a 1942 painting by Edward Hopper that portrays people sitting in a downtown diner late at night. It is considered Hopper’s most famous painting, as well as one of the most recognizable in American art. It is currently in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.”

– The television series That ’70s Show,[20] Dead Like Me,[21]The SimpsonsRocko’s Modern Life,[22]and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation[23] have all placed their own characters in versions of Nighthawks.

It was about time eh?!?!?! I have finally settled down into my new home.

Holidays are over and tomorrow I start my new job…

I’m somewhat scared… I don’t know anyone I will work with, I only know a small outline of what I will be doing, meeting new people, organising my new desk, learning a lot of new things.

It’s all going to be very difficult in these coming weeks. Nonetheless i’m also quite happy about all these changes. I’m excited that i’m finally living alone again since Uni, and also about all the new things i’m going to learn.

During these holidays I stayed  with my wonderful girlfriend Gloria. We mostly stayed in our hometown but we went to the seaside about an hour and a half away for a few days. We stayed 3 days in Bibione and 1 day in Lignano Sabbiadoro. I finally baked my translucent skin, and it became sizzling red in about 5 minutes after exposure to the sun (see photos).

I learned that i can make my eyes roll outwards after 23 years. And I found another interesting insect which I photographed. I’m pretty sure it’s a cricket though!

Ohhhhh I almost forgot! I bought an Iphone, and i’m on the internet through my computer thanks to it which is pretty cool. I’ll soon get a decent connection I promise.

So… this was a very small recap and i’ll try and upload some photos, hopefully my phone won’t explode in the process.

More to come soon, including wallpaper of the week and photos of my new appartment!!!

Over and out!

Wallpaper Weekly

August 1, 2009 Leave a comment

Time for this week’s wallpapers. I chose to put some random papers that I quite like recently.

Some are psychedelic, some cartoony, some just beautiful.

I love the one with the butterflies.

The zelda one is amazing, reminds me of the huge amounts of time spent playing that game when i was small, and it makes for an extremely geeky/beautiful wallpaper.

So here they are:

Unfortunately this will be one of my last posts for a month or so. This is because i’m leaving for Veneto today, towards my new house and new job. This means that i won’t have internet access for a while. I’ll update when i’ll get a decent internet connection!

Salutations and speak to you all soon!

Woooooo!
