Been out of the blogosphere a while. Old spot needed a revamp, so here goes Volume III.

I'll write a little bit here and there; want to try it a weekly thing. I always touch on sports, when what I follow's playing. But there's more to me than just that.

Any curiosities or rants you want to hear? Make sure to drop me a message on Twitter or Facebook!

Take it Like a Champ

I know was soon as I mention Service Animals, the general assumption is that the whole blog will be about Service Animals. Today is not that day.

Yes, my Service Dog had a painfully rude encounter with a horrible parent. Look. If you've raised a spoiled child, and refuse to be a hands on parent to STOP your child from misbehaving, your only saving grace is that I'm on the clock at work. Otherwise I would parent your spoiled child correctly, and give you a verbal assault. 

"Don't bother the puppy. Don't play with the puppy," as your child pokes, smacks, and comes nose to nose with a Service Dog who it doesn't know. Scratch the "Service" away from the title and you still have a dog you don't know. You child - and you - land in a lucky plavlce with a dog that has been trained endlessly to NOT react to brats and dicks like you. Most would show teeth or go for a nip. So stop for a second and examine you level of parenting.

Are you keeping your child safe? No.
Are you abusing a system to allow you child to misbehave towards a defenseless creature? Yes.
Are you stopping your child from acting out, and abusing another living being? No.

Parents need to bone up on educating their children. You can't be buddy buddy all the time. You need to have that parental role where your child eventually will say that they hate you. You need to be a leader. Discipline is not abuse. Abuse of said power is. And not disciplining your child and teaching them they can act out without fear of discipline or retribution for their actions does not ready them for the world they are growing up to be a part of. That builds more of the little prissy shits we call "millenials" who file frivolous law suits because they get offended. Eventually they will be FORCED to bend over and take what life gives them, dry, and without mercy or care for their fragile feelings that you allowed them to get away with by babying them since they were born.

Sports in the Off-Season

UFC... The biggest news really to me is Germaine de Randamie being stripped of her Featherweight​ Title. She refused to fight Cris "Cyborg" Justino who is somehow ranked as the number one contender with only two UFC victories. 
UFC says that to maintain the integrity of the sport champions "are expected" to accept fights against toe top contenders in their respective weight classes. And I fully understand and respect that. But... Cyborg's 2-0. It's not like she's literally fought her way to the top. And I won't touch on the whole steroid bit from before.
I see both sides though.

The NHL Expansion Draft should be fun this year. The Vegas Golden Knights are ready to rock and roll, and they know all the players they can choose from.
Contrary to popular belief, you can't just pick all the statistical talent, and succeed. Chemistry also need stop be taken into account. That's why starting teams don't just run the show. In my eyes, the best available goalie for them to pick up would be Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury. Struggled in the playoffs, but an Olympian no less.

Chris Neil wants to play hockey; the Ottawa Senators don't think it would be fair to keep him on another season.
Sens new head coach Guy Boucher didn't seem to have much use for Neil this season, which as a fan was heartbreaking to see. But Neil was that player that the Sens could rally around, and it showed against the New York Rangers in Game 5 of the second round. The great debate will be... will he want to lead and mould the Vegas Golden Knights, or will he hope for another roster with more chance of a Stanley Cup?
Time will tell.

The SuperFight. Anyone who knows combat sports has heard. And those who don't probably have too. Floyd Mayweather is coming out of retirement and putting his 49-0 record on the line to face Conor "The Notorious" MacGregor on August 26th in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The fight will be 12 3 minutes rounds, at 154lbs, with 10oz gloves, following traditional boxing rules. Mayweather will be in his element, but MacGregor has an age advantage. Funny part is... the venue is booked for a concert. They're working to fix that. But this fight will be one to watch. Win, lose, or draw, these will be two very rich men afterwards.

Shades of Purple

August 2014... Jonathan Paul Koppenhaver (now know as "scum of the Earth" and "War Machine") took part in an act of complete treatchery. He broke into his ex girlfriend's house and beat the crap out of her then lover - who is also not much of a man - Corey Thomas, and Christine Mackinday.

Finally concluding court proceedings, War Machine has been sentenced to life in prison, with a chance of parole in 36 years.

After beating on Mr Thomas who then left Christy Mack to defend herself as (as I said, "Not much of a man") he turned his attention on Christy Mack. She suffered horrific injuries including a broken nose and teeth, a fractured eye socket and a lacerated liver. After pounding on her and raping her while both conscious and unconscious he told her, “This is it. I’ve got to kill you now.”

War Machine wasn't found guilty on three charges. Burglary with use of a deadly weapon; to me he IS a deadly weapon. He made his living as a mixed martial artist. Same as a black belt, boxer, or soldier trained in hand-to-hand combat would be charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Sexually motivated coercion; so because she was unconscious when raped you won't charge him with this? And battery with intent to commit sexual assault; "intent" because again, she was unconscious. Fools.

The jury was deadlocked on two charges of attempted murder and attempted murder with use of a deadly weapon. (*cough* See above.)

But on 29 of the 34 charges, he was found guilty – and will receive a life prison sentence with the possibility of parole 36 years from now. A day when poor Miss Mackinday will once again sorry for her life. 

War Machine is claiming his mental illness cause him to be in a dark enough place to do these horrendous acts. In my eyes, there is no excuse. And between 2014 he read two books and found god. I mean, I know two WHOLE books would be a challenge for uneducated scum like this, but that doesn't excuse you. That doesn't change your actions, no matter your mindset while doing them. God cannot save you from this. And I hope someone shows him how loose his asshole can get behind bars.

Christy... don't give him the time of day. He wants her two "hopefully one day wrote him and visit him so he can apologize." No man. You fucked up. Calling on and claimimg you should have already killed yourself and should be laid next to Aaron Hernandez... you don't redeem yourself that way. You should have done yourself in to save the world from this mess. Save everyone effected. Then, that would have been enough. Now... death would be the easy way out. I hope now he attempts on his life and cannot die. Leave him in pain and anguish. Make him live forever and never get parole. Suffer for eternity for your actions.
