Fight Fight Fight!

I can't help it. This seriously has to stop. My obsession with fighting is at an all time high. I used to randomly watch it on television. Now, I can list you every legalized fighting organization, fight camp, fight history, fighting style, weight class and even educational background to every fighter. I retain this information faster than all 4 of my university years combined.

Although I have grown up playing every single sport known to man, this recent one has topped the list. Call it what you will: Homoerotic, human cockfighting, barbaric, you cannot deny that it is human nature to be interested in combat sports. Especially if it is a sport based on instinct... and not a set of rules. Well, there are a few rules, but out of all the sports today, I can say this one has the least (with the exception of "Rollarball" of course). you wonder why "gladiators" were able to draw crowds by the cities. It is the truest form of athleticism.

All the gadgets are thrown out, and you are simply left with human vs. human. It's not how far you can throw a ball, or swing a racket, it's what REALLY matters... whether you can physically harm your opponent with the tools you were born with.

I think I might be going off the deep end. The fact that I took time to post a blog about fighting. This obsession really has to stop.
