I love this Bukowski Poem.

I will start one of my vignettes one day with the similar riff of ” I was born into this …” which is slightly different than his. Guy was a definite  genius haven’t read his stuff in quite a while though as it can become repetitive..

Some good movement in semi moribund heavy weight division.

On Saturday 8.27.2011 we had some good movement in the Heavy Weight division, in a Heavy Weight double header we had Robert Helenius knocking out tough but out gunned Sergiy Liakhovich.
**
The other fight involved Alexander Povetkin, defeating a former champion Ruslan Chagev for a majority decision.
**
The good thing about this for the Heavy Weight division is that both Povetkin and Helenius have lots of room to improve. With Helenius probably having the potential to become a very accomplished champion.

Boxing As An Art Form.

Boxing is an art form.
**
Sometimes during the course of a fight you get a peak into a fighters soul.
**
At this point the fight fan becomes almost voyeuristic, This event of seeing into the fighters soul lets the fan  see into their own soul.
**
All art is really like this.

**
In women, art, music, politics I usually follow my own path. The same as in the way I follow boxing.
**
 I don’t always buy into the hype that the mainstream is spoon feeding me.
**
I look forward to the heavy weight double header coming up on August 27, 2011. Robert Helenius vs. Sergei Liakhovich,  and Alexander Povetkin vs. Ruslan Chagaev.
**
This fight isn’t being served up to the American fans in an easily accessible format but should make for a great night of fighting.

The World Island

According to Halford Mackinder , the godfather of modern Geo Politics , who ever controls the world island controls the world.
**
The “World Island” being the Eurasian landmass, with about 60-70% of the worlds productive capacity on it.

Random Notes:

The whole debt ceiling S+P downgrade thing is just too depressing to go into right now, although I have some definite thoughts on the whole situation.
**
Kelly Pavlik my favorite Boxer is going through some personal issues and just abruptly pulled out of a fight he was supposed to participate in this past Saturday August 6, 2011.

I finished studying the Python Scripting language for 3 hours today. What I learned and how it is applied we will see, but I am at least doing the leg work.

Hunter Gatherer vs Post Industrial Revolution.

I some times think that humans evolutionary state is one of hunter gatherer , living in a post industrial world.
**
I think it is difficult for humans psyche to live in a fast paced stressful world, of strange confining work schedules.
 **
A world of artificial rhythms, disconnected from our hunter gatherer past.
**
As we chase currency instead of wild game to feed ourselves.
