Big Bob's Challenge

At Jasons wedding, Big Bob challenged me and a few others to lose enough weight and train hard enough in MMA to fight amateur at this time next year.

Well, I have taken Bobs challenge to heart and have decided that by my 35th birthday I will have competed in at least one Am MMA fight and will be down to 170 lbs for that fight.

Here are my current stats - 230 lbs


Amazing, considering I was at 200 lbs as of Jan 07. Well, this is it, this is where it begins and it ends.....

I don't drink..........

.........because I don't!!! Lately, I have had alot of people ask me why. I even had a discussion with my good friend Ryan about this subject. I have been straightedge for a long time. I am not going to start drinking out of the blue. I never liked it. I never liked how it made me feel. I never will. I am not going to wake up one day and go to the liquor store and get a six pack or a bottle of tuaca. It ain't gonna happen. Get that through your head. But while I am on this tip, let me tell you exactly what it is for me when I talk about alcohol........ Don't you use it for an antiseptic? I don't need it to be social. Or to fit in. I could carry around a bottle of IBC at a party and your dumb ass wouldn't know any different. I am having just as much fun as you are and you won't remember.............. I am a better person for it. Every single thing I have done in my life, good or bad, has been a conscious decision. I can say that with pride. I am not a square. If ...

Time passes us by.........

.......faster and faster as we get older. When we are children, we have so much to look forward to. It seems like the next day, whether it be for our trip to Chuck E. Cheese or wherever it may be, takes goddamn forever. I remember Christmas or the month prior feeling like an eternity - then something happened; my youth left me and I didn't even realize it until it was gone. Yeah, okay, this is random, but I see Luke kicking dudes asses, looking good doing it and I often wonder what would have happened if I wouldn't have taken breaks in training? Could that have been me? Is it too late. Jason and I talked about it - its a young dudes game. Everything is a young dudes game. Wasting fucking time in bands or wasting years on broads has gotten me to a point in my life to where it may be too late. Is it fucking time to pack this shit up and head off into the sunset? Will I always be a workin' stiff, toiling in a career that I have yet to choose? I think back and since 2000 my li...

The XthingsX that we do......

So, with my infinite amounts of spare time, I have once again renewed my commitment to myself to be the best I possibly can be. With this, I have taken part in and surfed my favorite forum group on Myspace. The one titled 'straightedge'. Now what the hell does this have to do with making myself a better person? Well, it has everything to do with it. Maybe by having correspondence with the mass amounts of people that call themselves straightedge on myspace, I might learn something in my old age. Old dogs can learn new tricks. But alas, I have not. I have only been able to reaffirm some things that I always thought all along. 1. There are so few of us that truly give a shit about Straightedge. 2. So few of us are actually talking about things that MATTER in life. What about the middle east and Irans refusal to let UN inspect their nuclear program. That is certainly important to me, you and well, everyone! 3. The discussions that do come up are rarely about anything but these few ...
