What Now

Well im a little early than normal. Got get ready for san diego tomorrow but anyway on to the blog. I have had alot of people ask me about what my last blog "The End" truly meant and to be perfectly honest..it was in referring to the fact I left my academy Hollywood BJJ...no need for the online dramatic....all i can say I was just moving on. (so no need to get into details).

In terms of where Im at right now. I mostly on focus on building a better life for myself(not to say mines is horrible). Getting a job, being more positive, and continue helping out hard working people in grappling/mma community with my writing (i think that the only thing that makes me happy now adays when it comes to being in this sport ).

As for my training, yes i still train (on occasion) cuz i can never leave the mat cold turkey. However it will be awhile b4 i fully take it seriously again. For now it just about keeping active and oh course learning new stuff.

9/11 Blog

Before I start my blog. i want to respond to the people that have been asking me about my last blog entitled "the end" and the answer is No this blog will not be closing down, but at the end of the month something else will most defiantly END.


Speaking of "the end" it what leads my to this blog. 10 years ago marked a very tragic day in our country,Wow how times flies..show how life has passed us by so quickly.For those of you that were around I know you all have your stories of where u were that day. I know where i was, i was at school along with my other classmates thinking the world was gonna end or it was going to be a world war 3...scary and sad time for everyone.

When i look at this tragedy)..I look at how precious life is n how it can end in an heartbeat. As my pal Devon Redmon said When we put our lives in perspective, we can learn to appreciate even the negative things we go through.

cuz nothing amounts to the pain and loss so many people went through that day. (that doesn't included the thousands of brave soldiers that lost their lives in battle for the past 10 years). Because after a decade the suffereing of a child losing this parent, mother/father losing their child..that will never end for them...sadness even me thinking about it.


What I am trying to say as this day comes to an end. Don't let this be the only day you pay respect or reflect. Always value life and those around you and never 4got the REAL HEROES (not your favorite bjj gold medalist or that cool rapper on tv) that put it on the line every single day (soldiers, you parents u kids out there, fire fighters, and yes even the police).

LIFE and the people in your life- LEARN TO VALUE IT.


I would like to end this blog by saying I pay my respects to everyone that lost their lives that day & the soldiers that lost their lives in the past 10 years. Your cause and sacrifice will never be forgotten.



peace
