i would like to take time out of this entry and recommend seeing Cinderella Man. i am a huge fan of jim braddox and 1930's boxing is awsome. this movie took u into his life and made u part of his family. you felt the hardships of the great depression jus as he and his wife and 3 kids did liveing in a one room apartment. braddox was at the bottom like many other americans during the 30's and jus wanted to support his family and make them all proud. he finally got his second chance getting a fight at madison garden and he was goin to take advantage of it. people looked at him as a hero or a figure that spread inspiration to people so they can have the will to keep fighting out of this hard time. braddox was different from any fighter of this time, i mean he wasnt a lewis or max braer who were already successful this guy was a average common guy suffereing through the depression and he stood for and fought for every man like him. championship fight no one thought he would last the first round. his opponent killed 2 people already in the ring and braddox was fightin wit a broken rib cage. the day of the fight many people prayed for him cuz to them he was there last hope of ever gettin through this horrible time in r history. he fuckin won the fight by the cards afta the 15th round makin jim braddox the new champion and a hero to every person who thought bout givein up cuz they had no money and food. this guys story is so interesting cuz 6 months befo his championship fight he was workin on the docks and barely puttin a peice of bread on the table. this movie is fantastic and ron howard does a amazing job directin it and trust me if u see it u will be pulled into this mans family and there emotions. i love boxing cuz theres always a story behind every fighter and jim braddox has the most interesting story in boxing history. wow wat a great film and it was jus fantastic and i loved it so much. well anyway i am recording wit my dads mbox and protools this weekend for my new synth electronic solo band. i am only doin instrumentals but its rele sweet and i like the drum and bass line to it. i am hopein to get 8 songs done by mid august and finish the summa off wit a show at highfive cuz that would be amazing and sweet. i finally get to see anna ranger tomaro so i am freakin excited bout that and tuesday i get to see my g-ma in florida. i am in a great mood right now and i want to hang out wit good friends that i miss so call my ass up or i will call u MUCH LOVE TO ALL HOLLA!!!!
p.s. doom 3 for xbox is a sweet fuckin game
