YKYW - Nursing Student Blog

I was piddling around on the Internet and decided to set up an Internet link directory. Silly, I know. It’s not like I need something else to do. I’m still working on the layout, but I thought I’d let ya’ll know about it in case you were interested in being listed in a link directory. I have several special categories (Gambling Directory, Texas Directory, Gay & Lesbian Directory, MySpace Directory, Nursing Directory, MMA & UFC Directory and Games Directory), and most of the general ones. If you don’t feel there’s a good home for one of your sites, just suggest a new category and I’ll take care of it.

Come one, Come all! Feel free to spread the word about my new web directory.

- I’m finally starting to get over my bronchitis

- SK was diagnosed with bilateral pneumonia and is now on the mend

- I have a job interview tomorrow

- I have a cardiologist appointment next week because something is wonky with my heart

- Grey’s Anatomy starts up again tonight!

- Oh no, it’s up against CSI. I didn’t realize I’d have to give up CSI. Luckily, I can catch it in reruns on Spike TV since it is on a bazillion times a day

- Six Degrees looks like an interesting show, but it’s up against The Ultimate Fighter 4, so none for me, thanks

- Classes are going great and I have 3 tests next week

- Men’s shaving cream was not meant to be used on my bikini line

So You Think You Can Dance — I’m going to miss this show. I didn’t watch the first season, but I really got into it this year. Travis was the best technical dancer, but ya gotta give it to Benji — he was the most entertaining to watch. I hope they add a tour stop near us because I would love to see the show.

The fourth season of Ultimate Fighter is here. Yay! I’m still really excited about the show this year. Who would have thought that Matt Serra would be in Shonie Carter’s corner? But I don’t know who they had judging that first fight. It must have been Shonie Carter’s birthday because the judges gave him that fight. At best, the fight with Rich Clementi was a draw and should have had another round.

We watched UFC 61: Bitter Rivals on Saturday night. I was hoping the card would surprise me, but the fights were fairly boring for the most part. Why are some many fighters content to let things go to the judges for a decision?

Yves Edwards Vs. Joe Stevenson - I think this was one of (if not THE) bloodiest fights I’ve ever seen. Stevenson opened up a nasty cut on Edwards’ head and the doctor stopped the fight. I look forward to seeing ‘Daddy’ fight again.

Josh Burkman Vs. Josh Neer - Boring. But another win for Burkman and Team Punishment.

Dan Christison Vs. Frank Mir - Another boring fight. Neither one impressed me, and Mir won by unanimous decision. Personally, I probably would have given the win to Christison but it was really close.

Tito Ortiz Vs. Ken Shamrock - Even before the fight started, everyone knew Tito would come out on top. What nobody predicted was that the ref would stop it at 1:08 of the first round! The stoppage is controversial, and so Shamrock will probably insist on a rematch so Ortiz can REALLY kick his ass.

Tim Sylvia Vs. Andrei Arlovski - 5 rounds of Arlovski trying to pick apart Sylvia but failing. Technically, Arlovski is the better fighter by a long shot, but Sylvia has size on his side. They were both rocked during the fight, but managed to regain their composure. I hate that the judges don’t seem to think that when all other aspects of the fight were fairly equal, pressing the action should be worth something. I’m not sure how they thought Sylvia won it, when Arlovski was practically chasing him around the ring the entire fight. (Yes, Arlovski wasn’t quite as aggressive at the end, but rumor has it he messed up his knee during the fight.) However, I do realize that in order to take away the belt, Arlovski needed to make it clear that he was the better fighter. Maybe next time.
