I woke up this morning, after 5 rough hours of sleep, feeling like the only thing I can do is go right back to sleep. I didn’t even feel like training because I was so tired, but I decided to head out and make it happen anyways. On the way to training I was a [...]

Pitbull Diaries

I finally found the perfect pup for me. Yesterday I went to the house where they were bred and put down a deposit on the little guy. The deposit being put down means 2 things: first one being the obvious, that I have an awesome puppy. The second thing it means is that my new [...]
When One Door Shuts Another Opens

A few weeks ago my dog of almost 17 years died. I was devastated but I promised myself that when the time is right, I will not turn down getting another dog. No matter how much pain I felt when Ricki passed away, I felt a lot more love in the time that he was [...]
Migraine

Sometimes when the weather is bad or I don’t get my 8-10 hour of sleep, I get killer migraines that last all day. Today was one of those days… I toughed it out all day, and took a nap in the afternoon, the nap hardly made a difference. At about 5 pm, right before training, [...]

The night that we got to the Hilton we met some very shady characters. A certain couple in particular left a lasting impression on me. They were both from New York, and both very articulated with their words. We started talking and I learned that the girl was a straight A Cornell Student applying for [...]
Precious Sleep

Last night I went to sleep at about 1:30 am because I knew, rather I thought that I wouldn’t have to wake up till 10 am! Just as I was deep in my sleep at 4:30 am, I heard the door being banged down and the doorbell going off. I decided to ignore it because [...]
How widespread sushi has become… I’m sitting on the train and I see a girl in her 20′s sit down and start eating sushi. Usually it’s people eating McDonald’s or Burger King and stinking up the whole place, so this came as a surprise. When I was about 10 years old, I tried sushi for the [...]
Friday night I called in an alarm for 7 am because Saturday morning was the day of our departure. I called the front desk saying “eyo ya bombaclat mudafucka! I need a wake up call for 7 am” the guy just laughed and answered “OK, ya bombaclat.” When 7 am rolls around, me and my [...]
Never Too Old To Party

Alcohol flowing, laughter, cuban cigars, and wheelchairs? Yep! You got that right… Old people partying to their hearts desire. This week in jamaica I have seen more drunk ass old people than ever before. Too many old bags of bones carried to their rooms by some waiters/bartenders/cleaning staff or even their giggling younger counterparts. I [...]
