good talk

See My Blog on Pretty Boy Bird (June 20, 2010).  In May, I made a pilgrimage to Albi, the birthplace and ancestral-home, of someone I've long-admired, Henri de Toulouse-Latrec (See My Blog for Oct. 26, 2010).  Only 4'8", the little-man accomplished a lot in his brief-life, the collection at Albi was disappointing, most of his best-works are elsewhere, but enjoyed being-there.  Then I made my 3rd Pilgrimage to Lourdes, McKayla might try doing-this, get some of that Sin out of her, what are you laughing-about.  I had never heard of a 2-week Federal Sentence, no doubt, the Judge took a bribe.  I met a nice-man at the gym last week, "Jake", from St. Louis, where he's a manger in IT for DuPont, we started-talking after arguing over the 2 80's.  A guy with good-height and real-good big-muscles, Jake said that he was "60", I would have believed-it had he said he was "40", if you work-out good throughout your life, you can go for a long-time.  I asked him what he had-gotten on the SAT, and he said a "1260", then he went to good schools, and amounted to something, the SAT as it had-been, was a real-good predictor of success.  Hey, his son was a really-good wrestler, and wrestled in the "Ironman", my brother's tournament.  Jake and I agreed what's with going to extreme-measures to get into Southern Cal, that's no real-good school.  Their Athletic Director, Lynn Swann, of Steelers Fame, resigned last week after 3 years, bet he's glad to get-out of there.  Supposedly, at the time the indictments were announced, Olivia Jade was vacationing on a SC Trustee's yacht in the Bahamas, not only is SC undistinguished, it's corrupt.  Jake said that he was an OK fan, and that he and his wife were going to see them play UCLA, at the Rose Bowl, I said, UCLA lost to San Diego State, but I guess good enuf for them (Jalen Hurts is really doing-well)                                                                              

good talk

I don't want you buttholes reading my Blog, anymore.  On Sat. Nite, I saw Tyson Fury fight Otto Wallin of Sweden, at T-Mobile for the linear Heavyweight Championship, I arrived by foot.  4 months ago, Fury beat Tom Schwartz in 2 rounds, this was to be much-more difficult.  Otto, "28" (20-0, 14 KO's, and 1 no-contest),  at 6'5.5" and 236 lbs., seemed small compared to the 6'9", 254 lb., Tyson, who unlike past fights, had no fat.  To be only a tune-up for his forthcoming rematch with Deonte Wilder, Otto was unafraid, and determined to make the most of his opportunity.  Otto came-out firing against the quick, agile, giant Irish Traveler, considered the best HW in the world, and halfway thru the 3rd Rd., the Southpaw (comes-forward with his right-hand out), threw an overhand-left that opened, ha, a big-cut on Tyson's right-eyelid, with blood pouring down Tyson's cheek, the last time Tyson was cut was in 2010, a long-time ago.  An excellent-boxer, who shows different-looks, including early, the shoulder-defense, at the end of the Rd., Tyson returned to his corner, and the ministrations of his superb Cutman, Jorge Capitello, who closed the monstrous-cut.  Were it not for this being such an important-fight featuring such an important-fighter, Jorge could well have not gotten the chance to show his skill, most fights would have been stopped, and in this case, Otto would have been Winner by TKO, as it was, the doctor examined the cut, and let it continue.  This began a pattern of Otto working to make the cut-bigger, the blood-flowing, and Jorge stemming the flow at the end of the Rd. At the end of the 6th Rd., Otto took a step towards his corner, stopped, and wiped his glove and the blood across Tyson's face, in defiance (eh, Vikings).  In the later Rounds, Tyson, tho unable to see out of his right-eye, landed more and heavier blows than Otto, and won the 12 Rounds Decision on this basis.  Tyson was gracious in victory, being-interviewed in the Ring after the Decision, he twice said that Otto's father, who had recently died was looking from above, and proud of his son's effort,  Otto said  ...No one will question that I'm a good fighter... Indeed not

good talk

I can't pull-up my old blogs on Google, anymore, I'm not doing this.  You people are demented, the World doesn't need you, at all.  See Victor Joeck's article for Aug. 23, 2019, in the "Las Vegas Review-Journal", the young man is good.  In Nov., 1964, I took the ACT and the SAT, and in those days, nobody studied for the College Boards, they just walked thru the door and took the test, once.  On the SAT, my combined-score for Math and English, wasn't all that high (of course, the highest Math I took was Algebra 11, in that, and Geometry, and Algebra 1, I got a "C"), but, after you took the SAT, if you wanted, you could take an additional test, and I took the one for "Social Sciences", and, in that, I got a "714".  Now, I took this right-after I completed the regular SAT, and I didn't get any additional-time, because I was tired of testin' and needed a respite.  The scores I got on the SAT Testing were honorably-gained.  Cheating on the College Boards, and Cheating to gain unfair-admittance to Preferred Colleges, has gone-on forever.  But, for somebody, to pay 15 thou, so, that their child, would have her SAT, ha, raised by the huge-amount of 400 points, violating big Federal Laws, in the process, in a big-way, is an affront to the 95% who have taken the SAT, honestly.  Someone guilty of this, and we're not going to be Draconian, deserves to spend more than one-month in jail, I would think, 6 months to be apropos, just because you have a bit of name, you're no-better than someone-else who would do this
