Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

@live2  I was the first person in my HS history to take AP Spanish.  They had to create the course for me and my twin brother.  It was pretty easy... just annoying.

I had to take two different spanish ap classes for native speakers. Im mexican but the classes were still a bit difficult because i dont speak spanish much. We had a white lady as a teacher who thought she was the best damn spanish speaker ever. she wouldnt let students correct her.

I respect teachers b/c I am related to a few.  There are bad apples though for sure.

I respect teaching and good teachers but the majority ive been in contact with are pretentious losers that care more about a paycheque than teaching. Im related to a few and i cant even remember the last time i respected the one.  I wish there was more teachers out there valued for the work theyve done instead of just paid the bare minimum based on their degree and not their teaching prowess.

I'm just not used to mine I guess, but I have one.. a curve. 

What does everyone do here for a living?  I work for the railroad, 12hrs a day, but only 3 days one week, 4 days the next.

I've got an Evo and it's pretty bad ass. When the 4G service creeps about 5 more miles out I could cut my internet and not be bothered by it.

I'm a 24 year old college student. I'm studying Japanese and I currently work at a grocery store. I eventually hope to do some study abroad stuff or maybe even peace corps. I'm a big MMA fan and I've been watching since I was little.

Got some good training yesterday. Gonna go tommorrow and tap some suckas out. Got some great news last week my instructor said that he is going to sign the school up on something forgot what it was but he said that ROYCE GRACIE, RODRIGO GRACIE, AND MARCELO GARCIA are gonna test us for our blue belt. Also we have direct lineage to the founder of Tang So Do. Gonna watch UFC 129 with some of the guys from my school and my teacher's. Watching Jardine Vs. Jackson right now. working on some takedowns and throws for my tournament.

Peace Out.
