One of my favorite food is ribs. Ever since I was a little kid I fell in love with ribs. Ribs has to be one of my all time favorite food to get when I go and eat out. What's not to like about ribs? It's delicious when you take that bite and taste all the nice juicy flavors. Ribs are so mouth watering and especially when you see the waiter or waitress bring ribs to the group of people that sits next to you.
I've been to few places that serve ribs. I went to Apple Bee's, Chili, Texas Road House, and Famous Dave's. Out of all those places I've went to, I like Famous Dave's ribs by far. Some people my disagree with me on which one has the best ribs. But Famous Dave's ribs won me over.
Apple Bee's ribs used to be good but lately it's been really disappointing. It seem that Apple Bee's has changed how they do their ribs. The ribs there are not thick or juicy and that's what ribs are all about, thick and very juicy with brust of flavor. It's thin and the color on their ribs have no color. It seem as if they just grilled it and served it with little seasonings. Also what I don't like about their ribs is that they cut it up peice by peice now. Another thing about ribs is that you rip it off yourself and eat it. That's why I'm not a fan of Apple Bee's ribs anymore.
For Chili, It's not bad or anything. To me, it's actually pretty good. But the size of it is still kind of small to me. It's also thin but have nice flavor to it. I don't mind getting ribs at Chili but too expensive for it's size.
Texas Road House has good ribs. I like it very much because they give you a good amount of food there and their ribs taste very good. It has a nice sauce flavor that makes you keep wanting to have more. Texas Road House's ribs are a little bit bigger than Apple Bee's and Chili's ribs. I say Texas Road House ribs is worth your money if you order it. Can't really go wrong with Texas Road House's ribs.
Now Famous Dave's ribs are by far the best out of all the rib place I went. It beats Apple Bee's, Chili, and Texas Road House's ribs if you were to combine them all together and it still wouldn't be as good as Famous Dave's. Famous Dave's ribs are very thick, nice, juicy, and with mouth brusting flavor of sauce. What I also like about their ribs is that it's a man's food but can be a women too. The full rack can make you full and it will be full-filling. Everytime when I go to Milwaukee and visit my brothers and sisters, I have to get some of Famous Dave's ribs.

Being an uncle
Growing up as a kid, I always looked up to my uncles. They would be another father figure for me. I mean I love my dad and he's my number one role model and also my hero, but uncles to me are like more towards friends and brothers area. They will always look after you because we're family but can also joke around and be just guys and be stupid.
Now that I'm all grown up, I want to be an uncle myself. Seeing so much people having nieces and nephews makes me want to have some of my own. I'll always be telling me sisters and them to hurry up and have kids so I can have little brats to take care of and spoil them like crazy. If I was to have a niece, I would treat her like a little princess and spoil her whatever she wants. But if I had a nephew, I would still spoil him but treat him differently from my niece. I mean, treating him not in a bad way at all but a different way of discipline.
I would be more tough on my nephews because when I grew up, I had it pretty tough time. I would always be the smallest but having my uncles pick on me made me tougher. I'm not sure if this fit for every guys or just me but it did made me who I am today. I'm not saying all nephews should be treated this way because it depends on the family. For me, I would just be more tough on my nephew if he was to be a trouble maker, I would raise my voice. I would never lay a hand on them at all. It's just not accpectable at all. I would pick on him and wrestle with him but that would be all as for being tougher on my nephew. But I would want him to like me more than my brothers, so be the cooler uncle.
For my nieces, like I said before. I would treat her like a little princess. Even if she was to be acting like a brat, I would let her get her way. I'm not sure but I guess it's different for boys and girls. I wouldn't raise my voice on her if I really have to but it would be rarely.
I guess for me, gender does matter of how you want to discipline your kid. I wouldn't know because I don't have kids of my own and I also don't have nieces and nephews of my own so I can't say much. I would treat both of them differently but not in a bad way. I just can't wait to have little nieces and nephews of my own to call my booger brats. Having them coming over so I can babysit them and just having them to run to my arms and calling me uncle Lister.

UFC 137 Penn Vs. Diaz
On October 29, 2011, two top walterweight contenders; B.J. Penn and Nick Diaz was highlighted in the main event to fight each other in UFC 137. It was one card to watch because two big named fighters are stepping in the same octagon and are facing each other to see who is the better fighter on that night. If B.J. Penn or Nick Diaz win on that night would have most likely to get a chance to fight for the walterweight champion. It was a good fight and Nick Diaz pulled out the victory in the end. He was the better fighter on that night.
It was pretty disappointing to see B.J. Penn lose on that night. I was cheering for Penn to win that fight against Diaz. Also, I was cheering for Penn because he is one of my favorite fighter to watch in the octagon. It was heartbreaking to see Penn getting picked apart by Diaz. To see one of my favorite fighter to lose to a fighter I also I didn't like that much was very disrupting.
Both of them put up a good fight but I personaly believe Diaz proformed a whole lot better than Penn. As much as it hurt me to say this but he did. Diaz picked him apart round by round. Also Diaz being the taller and having the longer reach made it very difficult for Penn to engaged. With Diaz using his long reach and landing the more and cleaner shots, he won with a fashonable unanimous decision.
I believed Penn could had won the fight. In my eyes, Penn could had won the fight if he had a better cardio. Even in my other post, I would criticize his cardio because that's all he lacks. In the first round he fought Diaz, he looked really good with his boxing. He was out boxing Diaz and was countering Diaz with clean and beautiful punches to the head. By the second and third round, Penn was gassed out and Diaz took advantage of that.
It showed in the first round that Penn was winning the fight because he wasn't gassed. Penn is a very talented fighter but talent can take you so far. He relies on his talent too much. Now if you throw in hard work with talent, that can take you forever. It was that one thing that could had made Penn that winner that night and it was cardio which that is what he lacks the most.

Christmas
I love the holidays, but especially Christmas. How can you not like Christmas? You have presents, food, family gathering, school break and the warmth feeling you have inside of you. Christmas is probably my favorite holiday out of all the holidays.
Every year, my family will always spend it together. We would buy everyone presents and sit down all together and open the presents one by one. But before we all open our presents. My sisters would wake up early to make breakfast for everyone. Once they are done, they would wake everyone in the house by singing really loud or either coming by everone's room and wake us up by yelling, "Merry Christmas, breakfast is ready!"
I would go and pick up my girlfriend and she would come and join with us. Once everyone is in the room ready to eat. My dad will talk and tell us that he is happy that my sisters made breakfast for everyone and also telling us that he is also happy to spend and seeing us all together as a happy.
Once my dad is done talking, we would all dig in. When everybody is done eating, we would go to the living room and give eachothers presents to them. We would open one by one, oldest to the youngest so we can all see the presents. When everyone is done opening their presents. We would all say thank you to eachother and give hugs.
We always do this every Christmas. It's like our routine when Christmas come. I love doing this every year because I just like having that feeling, that happy feeling and knowing everyone is safe and spending time with eachother. I will pretty much expect that same routine but I will enjoy the same routine.

Hmong New Year
I've been going to the Hmong New Year ever since I was a little kid. I remember every early Friday morning, my mom would wake my sisters, brothers and myself up very early to wear Hmong clothes. It was a pain in the butt trying to wake up early and trying on the Hmong clothes.
My mom would usually spend more time with the girls because the girls clothes was more time consuming. Another reason was because there were four girls that my mom had to fix the clothing. Girl clothing for Hmong clothes need a lot more time than the boy clothes.
As for the boys, there were three of us. Myself as being the youngest of all my sibilings. I was the last one to be helped. I would have to wait for the girls to be done and when the girls was done, I would had to wait for my two older brothers. When it was my turn, it was pretty quick. I just had to put on a white dress shirt, black dress pants, Hmong vest, and the Hmong coins. It was as simple as that.
Last year was my last time wearing Hmong clothes. I feel a little bit too old to wear them now. I know that you're never too old for anything but for me, I think I need a break on the Hmong clothes. It was nice not wearing it because I didn't need to go back home and change, then come back to the New Year. It was really annoying.
This year, I did not go to New Year at all. Well, I went on Saturday to help serve food but that was it only. When I was done I went to my girlfriend's house and watch Iron Man 2. Hmong New Year lately haven't been the same ever since they changed it to North High. I guess the envirnment wasn't the same.
In the end of this, I'm not going to lie. I do miss the old days where my mom would wake everybody up and put Hmong clothes on us. It just that nice and warm feeling that feels awesome. I will always remember those good old days. When I have kids, I'm probably going to do the same to them too. So when they grow up they will remember like how I remembered.

Fedor vs. Brock
Fedor Emelianenko is a russian mma heavyweight fighter who is consider the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. He was ranked #1 in the heavyweight division for a long time. His record is 32-2 but before his last lost to his resent opponent. Fedor wasn't beaten for 9 years until 2010. He is also the current Pride champion and has beated former UFC champions.
Brock Lesner was ranked #1 for heavyweight when Fedor lost to his resent opponent. His record is 5-2 Lesner is a big strong wrestler who beated Randy Couture (also a very well known wrestler) for the UFC heavyweight champion. Brock went on and beated Frank Mir (former UFC heavyweight champion) on UFC 100 and controlled the whole fight. People were saying Brock was going to be unstoppable.
Both fighters were on top of their game and fans wanted to see these two fighters go at it and wanted to see who would win if they both met in the ring or octagon. At the time, both fighters were fighting for different organization. Fedor was fighting in Strikeforce while Brock was fighting for the UFC.
Back then, I would had thought this would had been a good fight for the fans. Brock did seem to be unstoppable and same goes for Fedor too. But now that both of these two fighters are coming out of a lost. But I think that the Fedor lost was a fluke and Brock's lost was because he's not that well of a fighter yet. Lesner is still inexperience in mma and still has a lot of to learn. If these two fighters did meet up in a ring or octagon, I would definitely put my money on Fedor.

UFC and WEC
UFC the biggest mma promotion company owned by Zuffa. It contains the best fighters who compete to be the best pound-for-pound figther in the world. UFC is the best mma organization and they have proven that it is the best. Other mma organizations couldn't compete with the UFC. If they did ever try to, they would get out of business or get bought by the UFC.
WEC haven't been out of business because it is also own by Zuffa. But WEC is not as big as UFC because WEC was made after UFC. It's ranked number 2 for best mma organization after UFC. WEC contains some of the best fighters usually the lighter weight classes.
Most of the fans always wants to see some of the fighters from both of the organization fight with each other to see who is better. Usually most fans want to see how some of the best fighter from WEC would do with UFC fighters. A lot of the fans wanted WEC to merge with UFC and now their dream will come true.
UFC and WEC are merging together. It's going to be big for the company because both of the organization was already big. Now it's going to be huge and most mma organization are going to have hard time competing with both of them merging. Myself as a big fan cannot wait until fighters from both of the organization fight with each other.
