                <description><![CDATA[ Hello, all...<br /><br /><br />...Okay I had like 12 drinks for tonight, even though I knew I shouldn't of had...<br /><br />But that has nothing to do with anything relavent. I just like showing off.  But there are graver matters at hand, I'm afraid...<br /><br /><br /><br />+++++++There will be a time when I will leave you all...++++++++<br /><br />This time reference might last for a year, or until five years.<br /><br />I cannot say when I will leave you.  I can only promise that there will be a time that I will have great absence.   <br /><br />Most importantly, I cannot say nor explain why.  You must just accept it...<br /><br />I shall return after that period of time.  Only a handful of you shall miss and await my return, and that, I am lucky and grateful for.<br /><br />My only decree is that you all remain patient, as this might take very long.<br /><br />Don't ask any questions, as I shall avoid them.  No offense.<br /><br />That is all...carry on...<br /><br />__________________________________________<br /><br />Random recommended song for the moment:<br /><br />Anything by Alice in Chains. ]]></description>

I may or may not pop up a pic soon.<br /><br />I'm almost close to 34,000 forum posts. *in before it's over 9,000!*<br />I spent too much time there, or maybe not enough.  Oh well.<br /><br />Having <a href="http://zoltor.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/z/o/zoltor.gif" alt=":iconzoltor:" title="zoltor"/></a> come over tomorrow and we'll watch the Manny Pacquaio-Ricky Hatton fight. Manny is the best p4p fighter in the world, and Hatton is the true Junior Welterweight King.  I say Manny will win by late stoppage.<br /><br />I'm here for a few days, will be back next month as well.

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, Spring is here, and I for one welcome the warm weather.  No more snow to worry about (I hope).<br /><br />I'm back now and for a few more days.  I might pop out a pic or two. I just have no idea of what really.<br /><br /><br />-----------------boxing-----------------<br /><br />Saw the Roy Jones fight. He looked quick and accurate against Omar Skeika. He stopped him in five, although I thought the stoppage might've been too quick.  At any rate, RJ got his KO, another win, a small title, and possibly another shot at a big name.<br /><br />Roy is 40 years old now--he still looks good, but he is past his prime. I just hope he fights once more, and then retires. I worry if he hangs in there for too long...<br /><br />__________________________________________<br /><br />Random recommended song for the moment:<br /><br />"Welcome to the Jungle" -- by Guns an' Roses. ]]></description>

I'm here until a few more days. <a href="http://dweebdanceplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/w/dweebdanceplz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondweebdanceplz:" title="dweebdanceplz"/></a><br /><br />Take this new Poll!: <a href="http://roypaladin.deviantart.com/journal/poll/332376/">[link]</a> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Saw the Hopkins-Calzaghe fight last night.  It was a close one.  I had Calzaghe etching it out on my score card.<br /><br />He won on a split decision. I was hoping that B-Hop would win.  =/  At any rate, Joe might fight my favorite boxer, Roy Jones, jr.  Jones at 39 has enough left to pull it off, and be on top of the light heavyweight class once again.  I hope this fight is made to fruition.<br /><br />__________________________________________<br /><br /><i>Anyway, post whatever you like in this Journal!</i><br /><br />__________________________________________<br /><br />Random song for the moment:<br /><br />Anything by Nightwish from their newest album Dark Passion Play. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /> ]]></description>

Well a few days ago, I turned the big 3-0.  I got money, ice cream cake, and other cool things. I don't feel old, it's weird.<br />
<br />
I've been on this earth for 3 whole decades.  I learned a lot, and I still have a long ways to go in the learning process.<br />

Roy Jones is fighting (at age 39) Felix Trinidad on Saturday night. I'm getting that PPV. I like Trinidad; he's fun to watch, but RJjr is my all-time favorite fighter, tied with Ali.  Roy will win in ten rounds out of the 12 I predict.<br />

I'll be here until Tuesday-ish.  I'm sorry that I'm not on DA and to do stuff that I would like to that takes time, but I really have no choice in the matter right now.  Thank you all who have and continue to support me.  In the future ( I don't know when), I'll have all the time I want for DA, but that's just a waiting game.<br /><br />That's it for now. ]]></description>

Please excuse my absence since last July.  I was in PA with absolutely no internet connection.<br />
<br />
<strong>FRIENDS UPDATE</strong><br />
<br />
Don't worry.  I didn't re-add or take anyone off of my Watchlist (at least I don't think so--this "new" version of DA is a little confusing.)  I was just configuring things.  Which brings us to...<br />
<br />
<strong>ART AND STUFF</strong><br />
<br />
I won't be commenting on any new art or making new art on this account.  It will be mainly for answering mostly Polls.  I'll use roypaladin for the forums.<br />
<br />
Note me for my art account, which I will eventually upload a shitload of stuff I did over time in that account.  That account I will use for commenting on art.<br />
<br />
<strong>VIDEO GAMES</strong><br />
<br />
Just thought I'd like to mention that I beat the original Sonic on GBA SP with only my right hand.  I beat the first level that way and said what the hell.  It took patience, but then again this is me. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=p" title="=p (Razz)" /><br />
<br />
<strong>ME</strong><br />
<br />
I'm here until Monday morning, and then I won't be on DA until a few weeks later.  Sorry for that.<br />
<br />
<strong>NEW VERSION</strong><br />
<br />
Anyone wanna give me some tips for this version of DA?  Namely the window that keeps popping up asking me to sign in with my username and password, several times.  I just press the Escape key to get rid of it, but it is annoying.<br />
<br />
That's it really.<br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/28637979/"><img src="http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs9/i/2006/035/2/6/I_Love_My_Music___Stamp___by_himiko_hedgehog.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span>  <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Meh, I've been sick the last few days.   Damn cold.<br /><br /><strong>Mood</strong>: <img style="vertical-align: middle" src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/psychotic.gif" alt="Psychotic" title="Psychotic" /> Fightin' a cold<br /><strong>Listening to</strong>: "Falling Away From Me" -- Korn<br /><strong>Watching</strong>: HBO Boxing<br /><br />Felt like crap before, but after  talking to family, I felt a bit better.   I wasn't depressed, but just was in a  mood.  I'm slowly feeling a bit better  physically, plus there's boxing on  tonight soon.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" />  Prediction: Cotto by  stoppage in Round 10.<br />
<br />
Okay, be prepared for a long read about  boxing.  I'm bored, hehe.  You don't  have to read this, unless you're bored,  too.  <br />
Okayness, I'm going to name the top ten  heavyweight fighters of all-time, imo.   Here we go:<br />
<br />
1. MUHAMMAD ALI: (1964-'70, '74-'78,  '78-'79)<br />
 I could write pages on why he is the  best, but I'll keep it terse here.  He  had the greatest chin, the fastest  reflexes, great skills and ring smarts,  was a master of psychological warfare,  great longevity, great stamina, and he  beat the very best in the very best  era.  He would have beaten them all.   He is the greatest heavyweight fighter  who ever lived.  <br />
And I'm not just saying that "out of  pity" because he has a condition now,  as some older fight fans would like to  believe as that's the reason why  younger fans voted him as on top.  I've  studied boxing and its history for a  decade now, and after some inner  debates, I've come to the conclusion  that Muhammad Ali would've beaten <i>any</i>  heavyweight that ever <i>lived</i>.  <br />
Watch the tapes, people.  <br />
...Okay, so much for keeping it  short...<br />
<br />
<br />
2. JOE LOUIS: (1937-'49)<br />
 The greatest boxing champion ever  ("champion", not "fighter").  He  reigned as champion for almost 12  years, and made 25 successful title  defenses in the heavyweight  division--records that will never be  broken.  Had devastating power in both  hands, and was a masterful knockout  artist.  How he used his power and  combinations showed you how great he  was.<br />
<br />
3. ROCKY MARCIANO: (1952-'56)<br />
 Tough as all hell.  He's the ONLY  heavyweight champion in boxing history  to have never lost a pro fight.  He had  an awesome KO percentage--43 KOs in 49  wins. That's 86.5% I think. <br />
<br />
4. LARRY HOLMES: (1978-'85)<br />
 Very underrated because he was in  Ali's shadow.  Had an excellent jab,  very tough, and made 20 successful  title defenses. He ruled his division,  even though the quality of opposition  wasn't the greatest.  Still, he amassed  a 48-0 record.  Before he could beat  Rocky's resume', Michael Spinks upset  him on points, but Larry was in his mid  thirties at the time.<br />
<br />
5. EVANDER HOLYFIELD: (1990-'92,  '93-'94, '96-'99)<br />
 Ultimate overachiever.  He kept  winning and winning when everyone said  that he couldn't.  The best heavyweight  of the '90s.  A true warrior at heart.   He pulled upset after upset: Buster  Douglas, Riddick Bowe, Mike Tyson, and  that was just in the heavyweight  division.<br />
<br />
6. JACK JOHNSON: (1908-'15)<br />
 First black heavyweight champion and  was very controversial.  Racist white  America that time wanted him out of the  title picture and kept sending in  "Great White Hopes" to try and beat  him.  He was so good, he beat them  all--easily, too.  When Jack did lose,  it was when he was 37 and past his  prime.  He was also dodged by then  champion Tommy Burns for two years  before he was granted a title shot.   Johnson's title reign should've been:  1906-'15 instead.<br />
<br />
7. JACK DEMPSEY: (1919-'26)<br />
 Boxing's first superstar.  A savage  tiger in the ring who would pounce on  his foes and tear them apart.  He is  what Mike Tyson always wanted to be,  but could never be.  Was 188 pounds,  and was beating the crap out of 250  pounders.  He turned from bum to  millionaire.<br />
<br />
8. GEORGE FOREMAN: (1973-'74, '94-'95)<br />
 Him having "devastating power" is an  understatement.  Destroyed Frazier and  Ken Norton in 2 rounds each.  He was  good enough to win back the title at  the age of 45, <i>twenty years</i> after he  lost it to Ali.  ...Damn...<br />
<br />
9. JOE FRAZIER: (1968-'73)<br />
 Ali's greatest foe.  He was called  "the greatest fighter of all-time, next  to me", by Ali.  Tremendous heart and  stamina, and his left hook was maybe  the greatest ever.  He loved to fight  on the inside.  Maybe I'm underrating  him here...<br />
<br />
10. LENNOX LEWIS: (1999-'01, '01-'04)<br />
 Had beaten everyone he has faced in  the ring.  Is underrated, and won't be  appreciated until a decade or so from  now.  Lacks a great chin, but his  skills are grade A.  He hits like the  devil, too.<br />
<br />
<br />
