soo...  not sure how to start this and i'm sure it's gonna be a bunch of rambling but bear with me.....

i guess i can just say that life hasn't been an easy road and growing up was def a hard thing. i am glad i'm still alive, been able to stay alive and that i have the most wonderful son to love and adore everyday. i guess i'm just getting things off my chest.

it seems when your younger and "invincible" the future and a solid life don't really matter and are a blurry image of fate. when i was growing up it was survival of the fittest it seems. being the only boy in a rough neighborhood, in a house of 5 women, didn't help much. lol. i got involved in things that i shouldn't have and people that no one should know. money, drugs, women and anything you wanted was plentiful except for respect for my own well being and my future as well as toward others. it was just a day to day party for waking up alive. then one day i decided to get married. part of me hoping it would put me on the right path... that sorta worked, except when the divorce came, it put me back onto the hard road. after a few years of being divorced and trying to do the best for my son so he would never have to see or feel what i went through growing up. i'm not sure it's working but i'm trying. i still feel that i'm not fulfilling my life and doing what i need to do. especially lately. don't get me wrong i wouldn't trade the experiences i've had and gone through for anything. it has made me who i am today, but it's about time to do what i want for me and stop attempting to satisfy what my family and everyone else wants me to do to try to please them and to please the "conventional" lifestyle.

after much thought i've realized that i'm not nor will i ever be a "conventional" person and that karma has certainly kicked me in the ass. i guess that is what makes me the unique person i am today and the black sheep of my family. which leads me into the present of basically wanting/needing to turn the page and start fresh.

i have been working for mysef which has been a struggle due to the economy, hence working a few part-timers to try and keep my son from feeling the pain. and it's been a while but now i have been given the opportunity to do what i have wanted to for a while and started to do when i was younger but wasn't presented with the chance to. that is stepping into the ring. it is a huge decision that any sane person would have second thoughts about, but i feel that it is a direction i need to go.

my family isn't real keen on the idea of it, esp my mother. she has pretty much black balled me on the entire thought of it. the rest are weary.  i can't blame them. i'm 32 now and have a 7 yr old son to think about. he is worried about daddy getting hurt, and i can't blame him one bit either. he knows he has been first priority since the day he took his first breath and will be til the day i take my last.

over the years of trying to do what i wanted and having it clouded by what others wanted, i feel i have fallen apart and almost become a failure. at this point, it is when i say it doesn't matter who or what wants to stand in the way, i'm going to succeed and it doesn't matter what is in the way or who i hurt in the process. i need to take care of me and my son and focus on solely on that. which puts me where i am now. i have a great place to stay, a great room mate, and the opportunity given to me to train and step into the ring. it is one of the hardest things i have ever had to decide to do, but i am. as broke as i may be at the moment and as difficult as the path is gonna be, i am taking it.

i was offered to join Team Cobra and excepted the offer. it is a brand new team and has a long way to go, but i think that is where i need to fit in. it has been a shared dream of Coach Lennie Dorion and i. i'm rusty and older then the other guys, but he sees something in me and wants to pursue it. to me that is a great feeling. he understands the struggle that i am going through with life at the moment and how hard it is going to be to make the 3hr drive to training every week, but i am determined to do it somehow. i as well as the team are looking for a lot of support as well as sponsors. so any help would mean the world to us all.

i'm forcing myself to make drastic life changes almost all at once. it's painful, stressfull and it's a huge hardship, and struggle, but i think in the end it is was needs to be done.
