Blog Entry: OK, THIS IS WHATS ON THE MACHINE'S TOP 10 GOOD AND BAD THINGS IN LIFE THIS WEEK.
BAD.
5- NOT BEING OLD ENOUGH TO STAY UP LATE ON A WEEK NIGHT, TO WATCH ULTIMATE FIGHTER. I HAVE TO WATCH THE RERUN ON THE WEEKEND, BY THAN I KNOW EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED.
4-HOLDING STRONG AT #4. PUTTING ANOTHER GUYS MOUTHGUARD IN BY ACCIDENT. HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK. THERE AIN'T ENOUGH MOUTH WASH IN THE WORLD TO MAKE THAT RIGHT.
3-BEING 10 YEARS OLD.....HAVING LONG BLONDE HAIR....WITH A GIRLY FACE. I WALK TO THE RING AND HEAR EVERYONE SAY, "OH MY GOSH ! LOOK THAT PRETTY LITTLE GIRL IS GOING TO FIGHT." IT'S HARD TO KEEP YOUR FOCUS. I WANT TO STOP AND YELL, "I'M A BOY!!"
2-LIVING WAY UP IN NORTHERN NEW YORK, NOT THE MMA CAPITAL OF THE WORLD TO SAY THE LEAST. TAKES ME 2-3 HOURS TRAVEL TIME TO WORK WITH MY COACH'S. ALL THAT TIME COULD OR SHOULD BE SPENT IN THE RING OR ON THE MAT.
1-MONO...STILL. I WAS TOLD I HAD IT TOWARD THE END OF MARCH, AND IT'S STILL KICKING MY BUTT. IF YOU HAVE NEVER HAD IT, THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS...."DON'T !!" YOUR MIND SAYS, GET UP...LETS WORK OUT...LETS GO TO SCHOOL.... LETS DO SOMETHING! BUT, YOUR BODY SAYS, NO LETS JUST LAY HERE FEELING LIKE A BUS IS PARKED ON TOP OF YOU AND SLEEP FOR THE NEXT 30 HOURS.
GOOD
5- LEARNING A NEW SONG ON DRUMS, AND BEING ABLE TO PLAY IT ALL THE WAY THRU WITHOUT MAKING A MISTAKE. MY GOAL IS TO DO THAT WITH A RUSH OR POLICE SONG, BUT THAT MAY BE A LONG WAY OFF. THOSE OF YOU WHO PLAY DRUMS KNOW WHAT I MEAN. NEIL PERT AND STEWART COPPLAND ARE THE SPYDER SILVA AND EDDIE BRAVO OF DRUMMERS.
4-MONO... STINKS FOR TRAINING, BUT HAS GIVEN ME TIME TO WRITE MY BLOGS. MAKE SOME NEW FRIENDS ON MMA FIGHTSPACE. NOT TO MENTION, I HAVE WATCHED EVERY MMA TRAINING DVD I OWN. TWICE !
3-BEING 10 YEARS OLD..... HAVING LONG BLONDE HAIR...WITH A GIRLY FACE. I WALK AWAY FROM THE RING AND HEAR EVERYONE SAY, "HOLY CRAP, THAT LITTLE BOY WE THOUGHT WAS A LITTLE GIRL, JUST BUSTED THAT KID UP!!" HELPS ME FOCUS. I WANT TO STOP AND YELL, "REMEMBER THE FACE, I'M THE MACHINE!"
2- THE VERBAL TAP. I LEARNED THAT THIS WEEK. WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR TRAINING PARTNER SO TIED UP WITH A MOVE ON THE GROUND, HE DOESN'T HAVE A HAND FREE TO TAP. HE HAS TO YELL. "I TAP...I TAP!!!" THANKS EDDIE BRAVO FOR THE TWISTER, A WAY TO COOL MOVE.
1-MY MOM AND DAD. MY DAD FOR GIVING ME MY LOVE OF MMA, AND TEACHING ME EVERYTHING I LEARN IN MARTIAL ARTS WILL MAKE ME A STRONGER BETTER PERSON WHEN I GROW UP. MY MOM FOR PUTTING UP WITH RUNNING ME TO BOXING, HEARING ME AND DAD TALK ABOUT FIGHTS ALL THE TIME, CUTTING ME SLACK TO TRAIN WHEN I SHOULD BE CLEANING MY ROOM. THEY ARE MORE THAN THE BEST PARENTS A KID COULD HAVE, THEY ARE MY BEST FRIENDS.
