Favorite Website

MMAweekly. It is a website that focuses on Mixed Martial Arts, or what many casual fans know it as - Ultimate fighting. I have been a fan of MMA since its beginning. Despite what many think of the sport, MMA is truly a thinking mans game. It requires skills in a variety of martial arts, like jiu-jitsu, kick boxing, and wrestling. Despite the skill it takes to compete and the massive amounts of training involved, many opponents of MMA call it "human cock-fighting", which is an unfair attack.

The website MMAweekly keeps me up with the latest news, upcoming events and also features a discussion forum where many fans get together to give takes on fights. I goto this website at least once a day. The website also features fighter interviews and a streaming radio show. Out of all the MMA websites out there, it is truly my favorite.

Does my Zodiac sign traits describe my personality?

For many years I believed what I read under the sign, Libra, was an accurate description of myself. This belief in astrology came from my mom who told me about the signs at a young age. A Libra is supposed to be balanced, and be very social, and is also indecisive and can have mood swings. I thought that those traits described me very well.

Now that I am older, I believe that since you read horoscopes from a young age on, you shape yourself to fit the traits you read. I saw a documentary where as a test, a professor gave students a "horoscope" and told them that was their sign. What the professor didnt tell them was that he gave everyone the same horoscope. Turns out, the majority of students felt the horoscope was an accurate description of who they were!

So, I no longer subscribe to the notion that the stars you were born under influences who you are as a person.

Something that caused me to drastically change my way of thinking

Maybe the biggest thing that caused me to change my way of thinking was becoming a home owner. I rented for many years and it truly is a different way of thinking. As a renter I had no issue with renting or hanging out with my friends on the corners. My friends and I would get loud at night and then not understand when neighbors would complain.

Now that I own, I am now the angry neighbor! I spend a lot of time cleaning garbage up around my house. I find beer bottles, empty Cheetos bags and sometimes even old corn on the cobs in my front yard garden. At night, I deal with renters making noise and being inconsiderate of their neighbors. Having a house to actually take care of truly gives you a different way of thinking.
