As some of you may have noticed I am no longer a mod. I have asked Wade to demod me (shocking I know, who would ever ask to be demodded) as I will be leaving NG to pursue a new chapter in my life. I may return in the future, maybe as JoS maybe as someone knew, or maybe not at all.

Its been a fun 6 years here, and looking back at my old posts to see how I have grown and matured. I would like to say all of you are my friends but that is a blatant lie. The truth is many of you I cannot stand at all, ro simply have no idea who you are. The rest of you, and you know who you are, meeting you online or IRL has been a great honor. You have helped me develop my debating skills, my knowledge and l33tness. For this I e-salute you.

Good bye Newgrounds, and good-luck.

Now....

So this weekend I had an opportunity to train with the legendary Royce Gracie. For those of you who don't know he kicked ass in the first couple of UFC tournaments (back in the no-hold-barred days), winning UFC 1 and two. His father is one of the inventors of Brazilian Jujitsu.

All I can say it was amazing. He showed me some really cool moves I had never seen before, and I even ended up putting him in a triangle choke.

So I watched UFC 91, and I must say Randy Couture really was impressive. i was hoping for him to win, and right up until the end of the fight it seemed more and more like a possibility. Then Brock landed that punch to the head and I knew it was all over.

But Randy for being 14 years older than Brock was actually looking in better shape. Brock seemed to be very tired by part way through the first round and slowing down alot. Props to Randy for a great strategy.

Now at UFC 98 there is going to be a special fight, JoS vs MightyPotato. Now taking bets on who is going to win.

So I have just had lazers shot into my eyes.

My whole adventurer started back in may when I went in for LASIK on my eyes. What they do first is put these clamps in to hold your eyelids open and put a suction ring on your eyeball (you are totally awake for this, but they do give you Valium and freezing drops). After they put the suction on the cut the flap on your eye, except the suction kept falling off, so after many attempts they told me to come back in 2 weeks.

2 weeks later I come back and they try again. My rigth eye goes off without a hitch, they cut the flap, shoot lazers into my eyes and its done. On the left eye though, halfway through cutting my flap the suction once again falls off. Now had this happened 1 second sooner it would not have mattered because they wouldn't have done any cutting yet, and 1 second later the flap would have been done. Apparently this has never happened before. They tell me to come back in about a month to try again.

One month later was Mod Meat, so obviously I had to delay my surgery. So 5 weeks later I go back into to get my left eye done. They try it a little differently, and after several attempts finally get it done. So here I sit at my computer, 7 weeks after my first attempt and I can see pretty well out of both eyes now (20/20 in the right, 20/25 in the left, before both were 20/100),

Would I do this again, absolutely.

So I just saw Hancock, and what can I say. It was an awesome movie. It was funny, action packed and most of all it had the stunningly beautiful Charlize Theron.

It is a definite must see. I give it 4 badasses out of 5 badasses.

Next up to see, Get Smart.

Well I am back from an exciting weekend at Mod MEat 2008. There was a lot I could tell you about, but even more that I can't.

I will give you a description in order of what we did in 3 words: drive, party, drive.

All I can saw is Forgetting Sarah Marshall is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. I almost wet myself, twice.

If you have yet to see it I highly recommend it.

It does work. Great success.

Is this thing working?
