Journal 12: Should Jones title be stripped?

  Yesterday afternoon UFC Light heavyweight Champion. Jon "Bones" Jones was involved in a hit-and-run accident. Earlier today Jones was arrested on a felony account due to the driver being a pregnant female. The pregnant broke her arm in the accident. When Police searched the vehicle they found marijuana and a pipe. Jones also fed the scene. This begs the question should the UFC strip Jon Jones of his title?
   This is not the first time Jones has put himself in the the midst of controversy. Failing a drug test for cocaine just 6 months prior. As well as having a history of driving under the influence.
    With Jones prior history of controversy it seems to be the only right decision is to strip Jon Jones. UFC has dished out a lot of damage control for Jones and his personal problems. But this time may be to much for the UFC. It is a do or die for the UFC. Either keep Jones as a champion and garner some very bad press that could possibly ruin the UFC and label themselves as a corrupt company. Strip Jones and dish out damage control on the UFC's part saving face for the company as well. Stripping Jones is the only logical idea. It's a very big disappointment that we won't see such a good fighter progress any further and this setbacks the GOAT talk for Jones for many years. But Jones has gone to far and must be punished for his behavior to save face for the UFC. Either Jones takes the repercussions or the UFC takes it.

Journal 10: Movie Review; City of God

   City of God is an astounding movie. A very entertaining drama. City of God is 2002 Brazilian Crime Drama. The movie is fully scripted in Portuguese and read in English subtitles. A foreign movie that went mainstream in North America. A great feat in itself. I really enjoyed this movie. At first I was very weary of watching this movie due to the English barrier. I will tell you right now that is not a problem at all. The film is very entertaining. I have a hard hard paying attention to movies. This movie caught my eye right from the beginning and I never looked away.
     The movie is based around the worlds most notorious slums of Rio De Janeiro. It tells the story of two childhood who grow up to be the complete opposite. One becomes a photographer and the other a drug kingpin. The movie follows each friend throughout their youth and teenage lives.
     I give City of God. 4 out of 4 stars, I really enjoyed this movie. I enjoyed the crime aspect of the movie. I also enjoyed the inside look of the Slums of Rio. The movie itself really showcases the sick and twisted nature of crime as well as corruption within the Rio police force. I really enjoyed the way they protrayed both of these themes. Yes, I recommend this movie. The subtitles may be a bit of a turn off but if you can overcome that this is a very great movie. As well as being very entertaining. So I say guess go see this movie as soon as possible.

Journal 11: Mayweather vs Pacquiao Summary - Portfolio


   May 2nd, 2015. The biggest boxing fight of our generation took place. WBC and WBA Welterweight Champion Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. Took on the WBO Challenger Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao. A fight 10 years in the making. When finally the dust settled, Mayweather stood atop the throne in dominating fashion.
    The dismantling of Pacquiao was beautiful to watch if you knew what to watch for. The first opening minutes it was very clear who was in control of the fight. Mayweather used his stiffling jab to keep Pacquiao at bay for the first couple of rounds using his speed and stellar defence to negate most of the damage. That's the story for the entire fight. Mayweather was near sublime in his approach to the fight. On offence he would pump lighting fast jabs at Pacman. When Pacman would corner the undefeated fighter. Mayweather would either angle cut out to Manny's lead leg or slip underneath the left straight and angle cut back out to Manny's lead side. When Manny was able to land on Mayweather. Mayweather's defensive shell would cushion many of the blows. Pacquiao was completely outclassed. Pacquiao was the much slower fighter contrary to popular belief that Pacquiao would be nearly as fast as Mayweather. Mayweather won close to 10 rounds on the majority of the scorecards. Mayweather also noted that he will be returning in September for another fight before retiring. Possible opponents include Amir Khan or Gennedy Golovkin.
