"I have always believed, given another chance, I could defeat anyone I had ever lost to, even someone who had defeated me twice." - Rich Franklin

Happy New Year and all that...once again and hopefully for the last time I will apologize for my extended absence from blogging.  Let me see if I can catch everyone up:

  • My boss was diagnosed with colon cancer - bad news
  • Potential opening for Interim Executive Director position - good news
  • Potential position thwarted by evil boss off on sick leave - bad news
  • New boss is previous peer - good news
  • New boss has quite a swelled head about the new position - bad news.
  • My aunt, after a long battle with cancer passes away - good news/bad news
  • My brother doesn't speak to me at the funeral - good news/bad news
  • My cousin's father-in-law passes away unexpectedly - bad news
  • It's Christmas - good news
  • My mom and dad come out for Boxing Day - good news
  • Had a great new years with most of the cast of JDFT that I see most often - good news
  • Back at work after a week off - bad news
  • Work seems to be okay - good news
  • Rock Star at JDFT - good news
  • Workouts slow down in new year - bad news
  • Work isn't so bad this week - good news
There you are all caught up....now for the great news!

I am going to Las Vegas!  Hooray.  I am going to see UFC 126 where Rich Franklin is the co-main event fighting Forrest Griffin.  The main event is Anderson (hate your guts) Silva fighting Victor (kick Silva's Ass) Belfort, but I am not as interested in that event.

I am all about Rich Franklin.  I think not only is he a tremendous fighter, but he is also a tremendous person who has a kind heart and treats his fans well.  I had the awesome pleasure of meeting him a few years ago, and truly, he gave me his complete and undivided attention. There was no attitude, no "look at me", just a really honest individual who is grateful for the opportunities that life has given him.

Now don't get me wrong, but I LOVE this man.  I sit on the edge of my seat for every one of his fights, I am elated when he wins, and devestated when he loses.  I had a great email chat with his wife today and if she doesn't think I'm a total lunatic and stalker, I may meet her when I'm in Vegas next month. 

Always looking for the next great life experience!

  1. Wow... that is quite a catch-up. Sorry to hear things have been so up and down for you.

    Have a blast in Vegas... I think my co-worker will be there too. If you see a tiny little Phillipino lady with short hair chasing after fighters with her camera, that's likely her! She'll be wearing heels too, but that won't slow her down. :)
