What The HELL?! There's Another IBLegend Out There!

http://www.myspace.com/iblegend

jesus christ, is this guy trying to give you a seizure or what? I wonder what his name stands for. Not sure if I ever mentioned the history behind my name so I guess I'll do that now. It all came from......you guess it, Internet forums. Desi Internet forums might I add lol. I was known as Hydro to more people but actually started my "e-career" with names that had "Khan" in it, such as "King Khan" or "Khan*Artist" and even "Khan-DUmb" (purposely spelling it like that) and then eventually it was changed to Legend. I know it's kind of cocky to say this, but I've been around long enough and sadly speaking, been a part of one too many controversies and so I thought the name fit and most people agree with me. The reason I put the iB is somewhat of a secret but Im sure most of you who know me would know lol. Lets just say we keep that secret amongst friends.

I Really Like Alicia Key's New Album

Friends

You know something? My entire life I always wanted to be surrounded by hundreds of friends. The age gap between me and my 3 older siblings wasn't much but there was enough of a generation gap and difference (somewhat) of upbringing (leniency) that we didn't really get along. I have to be honest when I say that I didn't like the treatment from them and somewhat resented them and so I wanted to be the exact opposite of them and wanted to be the "cool" kid that had friends closer than his own siblings. I thought I would have a lot of friends that would stick around forever and refused to accept any other scenario, but I lost contact with many of them. Most of my closest friends are either blood related or related through marriage, but there are very few in numbers and you know what? I love it like that. I have a much bigger respect for my own siblings and hope that one day, they can appreciate me for not what I've done for myself, but what I've done for others. I think its time I start thinking about myself and keep those few, close friends that I have. I love each and every one of them. I've also met some other really amazing people through forums and I know some of you might think that is odd and maybe even funny, but I'll tell you something. They are some of the nicest, most realest people that I've ever met in my life and even though we've never met in the flesh, I'd be more than happy to do so and keep a lasting friendship. Mostly with the one in Boston lol.

I Feel Like Death

so 2 nights ago I hung out with a buddy of mine at his girlfriends place, he was having a little get together with some friends to celebrate one of his friends birthdays. I ended up staying late but my dad called me and said he needed me to come home to give him a massage and so I decided to leave. Of course, I dont drive and so I waited outside for the bus to come. I have to say, that night was probably the coldest weather that Ive EVER experienced and to make matters worse, I didnt dress accordingly at ALL but that was because I wasnt expecting to be outside for more than 10 minutes of so (smoke). I waited over an hour until finally I said to HELL with it and started walking. It took me about an hour to get home, and this is after waiting for a bus for an hour. By the time I got home I couldnt feel anything and my fingers started burning. I had to give my dad a massage and I swear to god, my fingers froze to the point where I couldnt move them. I put my hand under the tap and let hot water pour on em for a bit but that was a stupid idea cuz all it did was hurt! To make matters worse, woke up with a congested chest, sore throat, runny nose, and I've lost my voice (its coming back though). What a night.

Taking Requests For Questions

feel free to ask me anything you'd like.

I will answer them in a timely manner.

My UFC 109 Predictions

Its surprising that 99.9999999% of my blog entries haven't been about the UFC or other MMA fightse/events. I guess I usually make those on iB but as of late I havent even been doing that too often.

Anyways, here are my predictions (I only write about the fights I care about):

Couture vs Coleman - I just dont see Coleman taking this unless he lands a lucky shot on couture and knocks him out. Not really his style nor is this likely to happen. They are both great wrestlers but I will give Randy the advantage only because he is a much better over all fighter. I see conditioning being a big factor in this fight too. My prediction is TKO in Round 2.

Nate Marquardt vs Chael Sonnen - Im not entirely sure why Nate is having to fight Chael. I mean, I know they want to feed him a fight before he gets a chance at Anderson or Vitor but Jesus Christ, is Chael really going to be a challenge for him? Lets wait and see. I say its over by the second round, again TKO

Mike Swick vs Paulo Thiago - If this was before the fight between Jon Fitch and Paulo, I would have said Mike will take this easily, but Paulo surprised me and has been doing pretty well in all of his fights so far and so you have to give him a chance in this. I just see Mike being more dominant and faster with his striking. I see this going to the distance though.

Damian Maia vs Dan Miller - Now this is one fight Im really excited about seeing. Both have excellent ground game, obviously Maia being the better of the two however Dan has much better stand up and can drop Damian to get the stoppage so lets see what happens. I predict Damian via submission. Not sure what round.

Matt Serra vs Frank Trigg - To be quite honest, I dont really care too much for this fight but I dont mind either guy so of course I'll give them enough respect and mention them on my oh so holy blog lol. I think Matt will get the better of Frank unless Frank comes in better shape than he did in his last fight. Realistically, either can take it and I wont be hurt by either person winning.

Phillipe Nover vs Rob Emerson - I like Rob Emerson and have liked him even more since he KO'd karo's cousin Manny but I like Nover a bit more and want this kid to do really well in the 155 weightclass division. I hope he takes this!

Shout Outs To Rolles Gracie who will be fighting Mustapha Al Turk

Im cheering both fighters for that one

Melvin, you better win this fight and not fight sloppy like you did againts Nate! You had that fight!

Still Looking For Work

I know I have some things on my plate but I need some steady income and so if anybody knows of any place that is hiring, please let me know asap!

Greatly appreciate it.

Currently Workin On An Album

been trying to push out as many tracks as possible over the past couple of weeks. Havent really told too many people about this simply because I dont think it really matters to tell them now. Lets see where it goes and then we'll go from there. I am working with a producer who is pretty serious about doing something long term with me, and so I am quite excited about that. Wish me luck and stay tuned!

I Love How My Entire Blog Is Surrounded By

quit smoking ads. Jeez.....is it a sign?

Thanks KashMoney

I can always count on you for help my friend!

Oh And As For Quitting Cigarettes

well Im failing miserably but Im at about 5 or less a day. Cant get any better than that.... at least not during stressful times!

Yeah Not Doing So Well

I had 2 smokes today. I am weak. Weak I tell you. I've cut down significantly though but even then, just as I had imagined, I've been a grumpy **%^!

Yeah So I Lied About Making Resolutions

Sue me! All you'll get is pocket lint.

I will make one though, and that is quitting cigarettes. I smoked for 7 years straight and then quit for almost 3 years but then started again and I wish I could give a half decent reason as to why I did, but I don't have one and so I've decided to give quitting another go. I have to admit, I haven't been one to stick to any goals or push myself to test my will power, more because I had a strict up bringing and always felt that I would do whatever it was I wanted to once I got old enough. Its too bad that most of those "things" were stupid and harmful to my body.

I've given myself a deadline for quitting and so I've decided that I will begin this horrific struggle, which will leave me grumpy and agitated, on January 11 2010. This gives me the opportunity to enjoy the weekend with my friends and then get back to business (well......sort of) come Monday. Wish me luck!

oh....and I will be blogging about my struggle and possible confrontations I get into the first week or 2. I get pretty volatile when I crave a smoke and can't.

Once again, wish me luck and PLEASE, give me some motivation!
