    All the BS with the election, combined with personal stuff, the holidays, the Kovalev decision and a few other things have had me preoccupied lately, I really dropped the ball big time in the last month, I had no friggin clue who to go with in the Waseem-Magramo match, because I'd never heard of either of them, and I certainly hadn't seen enough of Khonco-Joyi to have any real concrete clue as to who would win, both matches were a roll of the dice for everyone who picked them. I think African matches unless both fighters are very well known shouldn't be included, same goes for Waseem-Magramo, both of them had very little footage on YT, in fact Pinoy I personally think you should annul the results for both of the matches, because you said early this year if both fighters were basically unknowns you wouldn't add them in the first place. Maybe its me being bitter, but neither of those matches tested our true Boxing acumen, because who the **** are they? A couple of nobodies.

    It might sound like sour grapes, but in this case, even I had no time to research any of them, so I ****ed up out of negligence.

    Next year I think there should be a deadline for picks... And a penalty if they're missed. Regardless of whether I win or not. I plan on using this year as learning experience. Learn and improve. I've made a ton of mistakes and have honestly played it too safe since taking first place at times(not listening to my gut) I'm sure that applies to many of us though.

    Also I agree about the more irrelevant Asian and African matches no being added.. A lot of them don't even matter and are pretty much coin flips. At the very least I think there should be a vote to determine whether they're added or not.

    My entire year got ****ed up because of a few bad decisions I made in a week or two.:lol:

    De Carolis was a sentimental choice, all my fault.

    I'd switched over to Manny like I was planning to in the first place, but Drew baited me and my pride into switching back to Vargas.:facepalm:

    Who the **** is Ben Hall? And why was that match even added, especially considering Ben Hall is about as well known as Joe Smith Jr. (Joe had a better win in Rosinsky) and Fonfara is far more well known than Carson Jones, yet that match wsn't added. Hosea Burton vs. Frank Buglioni is a great ****ing match, that could be very competitive, truly 50/50 IMO, it could easily be another McCarthy-Askin, they both have a ton of footage for all of us to look up, but that match isn't added, but Waseem-Magramo was.

    Kovalev won, that was a bull**** loss.


    The other two losses..... see above.

    I realized earlier that I made a mistake when entering the info for your chart lufcrazy (it was late at night when I did it) so I tweaked to the proper birth time, which effects your rising sign, and that caused a shift in your entire house chart. No wonder a lot of it didn't sound like you, because.....

    You are NOT a Scorpio Rising.

    You're a solid Libra Rising, which makes a hell of a lot more sense, does this description sound more like you?

    I argue with you the same way I argue with my sister, which is ironic because she's an at times incredibly passive aggressive Sagittarius with Libra Rising too.:lol:

    The Rising Sign is often times more impactful than your actual sun sign.

    This definitely plays into your taking the underdog a lot. Libra is represented by the scales of justice after all......

    _______________________________________________________________________________________________
    Libra Rising

    The main characteristics of a desirable nature and good for cultivation are indicated by such words and terms as: justice, sympathy, thoughtfulness, foresight, graciousness, modesty, refinement, artistic ability and interest, adaptability, cheerfulness, love and affection.

    Less-than-desirable characteristics for correction are denoted by these words: uncertainty, indecision, impulsiveness, recklessness, procrastination, pushiness, vanity, aloofness, shallowness, carelessness and vacillation. Most or perhaps all of these undesirable traits already have been or can be improved or corrected by the sensible application of your many outstandingly-positive talents and abilities.

    You basically feel that everyone should get a fair share of what he/she deserves, based upon your personal belief that positive rewards should be forthcoming to all who deserve them, and that equal punishment is due these who violate the rules of justice and cause harm to others.

    The words balance, form, order, color, and symmetry have a special meaning and importance to you whether in your personal relationships, career, business, hobbies or recreation. No doubt you have some artistic ability that you do (or at least should) express on a regular basis. If you haven't yet discovered your particular best talent, you should continue to look and experiment until you find it.

    Libra Rising is pleasant and nice to be around… charisma is their middle name. They attract people to them easily. With their charming demeanor and gentle take on life, you'd think their relationships would be smooth sailing. This isn't always the case. Many times, Libra Ascendant will have many problems in their personal relationships. Despite this, they don't like to be alone. They really don't know what to do with themselves if their partner isn't with them. They often will do anything to preserve a relationship, because not only do they not want to be alone, they don't like conflict. At the same time, in times of crisis, Libra Rising will meet the challenge and then some.

    Libra Ascendant usually looks good. They know the best way to walk, dress their hair, and what colors suit them best. They like physical comfort, personal luxuries and anything that is pleasing to the senses. This ascendant can be very persuasive, preferring to use a "soft sell" when they want to influence others rather than a heavy hand. They have a tendency to pass blame when they can so they can keep up the image of being nice. They make wonderful mediators and are very accommodating.

    Libra Rising is attracted to those who are competent and active. They may argue a lot or compete with their partners until they learn it is okay to just be themselves. They can appear learned, even if they are not. Libra Ascendant is usually a fan of art, music and literature. They may have their own creative and artistic talents as well that reach beyond their appearance. Even though they are friendly, they may appear emotionally detached and shallow. If they sense an imbalance around them, they can get upset, demanding and even bossy until they feel all is in balance again.

    Libra Ascendant is usually polite. Some may see them as insincere, but that isn't necessarily true. They feel most comfortable when they can grease the wheels to balance and harmony. Libra Rising is romantic and gracious. It is difficult to say no to this ascendant.

    On the negative side, Libra Ascendant can be antisocial, rude or shy. They may be vain and obsessed with remaining young no matter the cost. They may be terribly indecisive. They may be stronger than you think. They may come across as soft, but behind that silky exterior is a will of iron. They are good at getting their own way through diplomacy.

    Libra Rising is a social butterfly, and they have many friends and acquaintances. For all this, they can't help but see themselves through the eyes of others. This causes them undue amounts of worry that they don't come across at their best at all times. At the same time, Libra Rising has an amazing ability to reflect others back at themselves. They have a tendency to try to be all things to all people, which can make some people wonder if they have an opinion to call their own.


    Subversive Libra
    Libras use their intellect to spar with others, and when negative, use words to bend the will of others. Some use that cunning to ingratiate themselves, as friends or into a group, for a particular personal goal.

    They're passive aggressive masters.
    The Venus ruled Libra can be passive-aggressive for they tend to disown their anger. The Libra personality is other-focused seeing the virtues and faults of others over their own psychology. So, they can be into blaming the Other when things go bad in a relationship because they see themselves as nothing but sweetness and light. This sign has difficulty with the Shadow archetype. They don’t want to look at the dark underpinnings of love or society.

    Negative Libras pretend to be your friend, so they're a classic Frenemy.

    In love, a shadow Libra is narcissistic and only out to be adored, and have their beauty reflected back to them. They can leave a string of broken hearts, and be cursed afterwards as phony.

    Everyday misdeeds can include blaming others for what they've done, to defect the conflict (another thing Libras like to avoid). They can weave a web of lies, if they're not able to face the consequences of their actions.

    Other Dark Side Possibilities
    Talking behind others' backs.
    Being vain, shallow, and materialistic.
    Keeping everyone slightly off-kilter.
    Provoking arguments for the sake of arguing.
    Overwhelming others with chatter, the wall of sound.
    ____________________________________________________________________________________________



    It also changes your Midheaven to Leo, which is what you project to all of us, its your persona through communication, online and elsewhere.

    Here ya go.....
    ____________________________________________________________________________________________
    Leo Midheaven
    Leo Midheaven has the tenacity and longevity to attain the lofty goals they aim for. They know that persistence pays off. They understand that whatever trials they go through in their journey will make them stronger. They are courageous and noble, but need to watch out for the possibility of becoming arrogant.

    Individuals born with a Midheaven in Leo are very ambitious professionally and take pride in how they are perceived. They have the potential for leadership and executive ability. They may feel they are destined for greatness in some way.

    They appear competent, even when they don't feel they are. They are known for their generosity, and through experience, have learned when it is appropriate to give. They are highly organized and have the ability to understand the big picture as well as all the fine details. When they feel insecure, however, they can be very stingy and tend not to share their information and leadership with those around them. It is very important that people born with a Midheaven in Leo learn to seek their self-worth from within rather than from those around them.

    Leo Midheaven may take ribbing too seriously when they are at their expense. When they get too obsessive about progressing in a certain direction, they can be very stubborn. Sometimes, they'll take their ball and go home if they don't like the rules. This can be a plus in some situations, and detrimental in others.

    The Leo Midheaven is dignified in any situation. They automatically know what will make others feel appreciated. They can take control in a crisis. They offer a stability that is hard for others to find. They often have a unique sense of timing. They need to be able to create the right mental space for change to occur.

    Leo Midheaven may also take everything too personally. They can be easily insulted, because they are always looking for more meaning in every remark. The ego can get in the way if Leo is not careful. They should work on being persuasive instead of demanding. If they feel that they don't get the accolades they feel they deserve, no matter how much attention they get, they may feel overlooked. Leo has the tendency to attract more powerful people to them that may overshadow them. They must learn the lesson to accept their own strength, self-confidence and power in order to shine.

    Possible career choices may be in government, sales, acting, management, teaching or business. People with a Leo Midheaven usually have personality plus, which puts the spotlight on them no matter what they choose to do. They enjoy being in public and building a wide swath of influence.
