BOXING OBSERVATIONS
Boxing is an interesting sport going all the way back to the ancient Greeks, when only the wealthy could afford to participate in the sport due the time spent training.
The thing I like about sports is the drama and when boxing is good the drama is as high as it can get in sport.
In boxing if you fail to block a punch you can be killed or brain damaged, in other sports they drop the ball and try again.
Boxing is an interesting way to see inside a persons soul as a fan the sport has an element of voyeurism to it as I suppose all sports do but with boxing you get to see deeper into a persons personality.
Boxing is also an interesting way to watch globalization and see who the hungry rising groups of people are on the planet.
It is interesting but not necessarily related that the US is no longer the dominate country in boxing, especially the heavyweight division and the US is not as dominant economically

I just finished an intro to JAVA progamming class at the local community college.

  The programming class has brought a new concept to my writing. One of Methods/Modules.

Methods in JAVA are pieces of computer code that can be inserted in a  computer program to do a 

particular task. 

   I am now doing the same thing with my creative writing, in that I can work on a short poem or

story and insert it self contained into different creative mediums...

    I am a cab driver during this phase of my life, interesting to watch the continued collapse of

the USA from the seat of my cab.

   Interesting to watch China tighten the noose around the U.S. while the corporate media

continues to give the populace an opaque view and analysis of whats going on.
