tina turner bio-pic, comics boxing

 this morning i watched a DVD movie, a recent purchase from amazon, 'what's love got to do with it'. this of course is the tina turner bio-pic. i was interested in how it was based on 'i, tina' which she co-wrote with kurt loder. i knew this name as a reporter for MTV news, i did some research and found out it was written when he was working for rolling stone magazine. most of the story is about tina meeting her husband, ike, and their performances together. there are depictions of ike being abusive as well, which leads to her leaving him. i liked how it ended on a high note, with tina performing as a soloist, the song that became the movie's title. the closing credits said tina's songs were still performed by tina, while angela bassett played her. ike's songs were performed by who played him, larry fishburne. once the movie was done i needed to confirm a good route for the event i was attending, and shortly thereafter i was on the road. it was a boxing match in columbia heights. at first i passed by the venue, saying that was the town hall. but i turned around and noticed the house number was correct. the boxing club is in a former fire station, next to the town hall. there was roast battles, then the boxing match was the main event. yemen native was one of the fighters, the other i don't know as well. somebody who speaks of being a janitor at a college and moved from portland, oregon, if i am not mistaken. it was slated for three 2-minute rounds, but it ended after two rounds, declared a draw. one of them threw punches while the other was down, a foul. the other later on was kicking, also a foul. cul-de-sac was there, wearing a cowboy outfit. i had lunch after the event, going to sonic, the next exit over on 694. i went there to get more miles for my delta airlines account. it meant i didn't see the start of the first NFL playoff game, it was late in the first half when i got home, bengals were leading then and went on to beat the bills. i performed at an open-mic in the evening, during the second game, 49ers beat the cowboys. at halftime of the first game i went to the nearby liquor store and got a can of pabst so now there are 4 beers waiting. during my walks i found 1 dollar 62 cents.
