Un-Freekin'-Believaball!!!11

Iron Mike is stepping into the ring again. Well, he's training for a fight in March, though the tomato can, I mean opponent has yet to be named. At this point it's gotten really sad, I may write a screenplay for the Mike Tyson tragedy yet. The man was heavyweight champion of the world at 19 and with the sudden fame and fortune came bad decisions and "the wrong crowd". Now at... 37ish I think, Tyson owes so much money that he literally cannot afford not to fight. He's been in prison, deserving and undeserving in my mind. Don't get me wrong, he's a rapist bastard but I think he's also been taken advantage of... I don't think he raped everyone who has accused him. Example, the woman who filed against him from a hotel incident also filed the exact same charge against an ex boyfriend a few months prior. Now not to say that couldn't have happened, but the first one was tossed as being fictitious, but Iron Mike had a reputation and all they looked for was a tall tree. Yes I feel sorry for the man. He's made some ridiculously stupid mistakes but he's also been too trusting of the wrong people who have led him down the wrong paths. Mark my words, this man will not die of old age.

Ahhh... exams are now beginning... fuck I hate this time of year. No, not because I have to write or anything, I'm too old and jaded to care about that stuff. What I hate is my little "office" is right on the hallway leading to the gym so I have a bunch of twit first years looking in asking stupid ass questions. There should be a law against stupid people in university, wait there is, well they should enforce the law against stupid people in university. Ugh! commerce girls are here. Has there ever been such an arrogant bunch created? Sorry Joanne, I don't hold you in this grouping. And people feverishly reading notes, do you think you're going to learn something now?? It's too late junior! Ahh... the parade has begun, one by one they walk up and look, like it's the human on display. "ohh look, 28 year old bitter graduate, I wonder what he gets paid to do that, probably just plays solitare". Then there's the profs. I don't know about you but if I'm a paid professor of a university, I might go on a little tour of the campus, particularly if I have a class writing a final in a room I haven't been in. But oh no, particularly Arts & Science and Commerce profs would not stoop so low as to go into a gymnasium in their tenure. So you get these frazzled "intellectuals" feverishly looking about for the gym and inevitably going down the wrong hall. I'd almost like to see a video of this, I've been told at times that I don't hide my feelings very well as far as my facial expressions go, methinks I just gave a look of utter disgust to a pack of giggling blonds. Oh well, they'll understand when they're bitter upper yeared folk.

So maybe we'll see about poker tonight. I've heard rumours of people getting the shakes from withdrawl and poor Mike's scratched his hands raw.
