Fistfights I Broke Up:

So on Friday I got the honor of helping pull apart an 8th grade girl fight. Appearently someone had said something bad about someone else on Myspace and this was the end result. The weird thing I got out of it though, was how much my strength has improved in the past year. There would have been a time, I would have never been able to control a pissed off, scrappy 8th grader trying to get to another scrappy, pissed off 8th grader and I actually did it quite well.

I usually make it my policy not to physically break up the fights, but I pressed our emergency button 16 times and no one was coming. The male teacher next to me was trying to break it up, but he couldn't hold them both and I sort of felt like I had to help! Good thing is, I teach in the ghetto and something like this totally increases my "street cred" with the kids and also, now that they know we will break them up fast...they won't fight in front of our rooms anymore!

Fistfights I Watched:

UFC 95 was this weekend. It was one of their PPV quality ones that is also free. It's never truely PPV quality as I can't remember the last time I saw a title defended on a free fight, but in this economy it's something. I wish the WWE did something similar.....my husband pointed out that he thought that's what Saturday Night Main Event was supposed to be...to which my response was..

For a free night though....it featured two AMAZING knockouts...

(this one is contraversial because some feel the ref stopped it too soon)

And also, featured one of my favorites, Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez...who is freaking insane. His entrance was hysterical...

The "WTF" bubbles were obviously added by whomever made the gif, but that's really what all of us where thinking. I don't know who was talking to actually, but he kept screaming, "YES!" the entire time he was walking out to the ring.

And he appeared to be foaming at the mouth.....

Anyway...here's hoping for calmer waters this week....
