half way into tuturing, jin wanted to show me a "funny" video. turned out that he actually meant a "fun" video cause with the whole korean translation blah blah blah. so he's into this japanese thing called, Pride. it's like Ultimate Fighting Championship but more sporty. a lot less chaotic and wild but nonetheless crazy violent. so we're watching this thing and he's explaining to me in his broken english how it's really big in japan and how certain fighters are better than others. as inhumane as it was, i have to admit that it was some entertaining crap.

i remember this one specific fight though. the first guy was this crazy, buff, mean-looking guy who was all pumped up and screaming at the audience. the second guy was this out of shape, nonchalant fellow who just lazily rose his hand at the crowd. just looking at the two, anyone would've put money on the first guy. the contrast was just so great. but 15 sec. into it, the second guy just punches the first guy in the face and he gets knocked out! and just like that, the guy who looked like a loser ended up becoming the winner. it's crazy when you see these fools who've been fighting each other for like 30 min., shaking hands and hugging each other after the fight.

is it wrong for two people to fight each other even if it's just for sport? people are entertained. champions are paid. fighters stay friends. is it still wrong if one commits violent acts w/o a sinful heart? isn't the heart the real issue anyways? is it wrong for me to enjoy watching these tournaments? haha. funny how they call it "Pride." i can't wait til the Dec. 31st Championship!
