5 years
5 years... seems like yesterday I was driving down from CT to Tampa to start my new life. The only regret that I have is that its taken me this long to adjust and break out. I got complacent in life and just accepted fate. Hell no. That's not me, I am making my own destiny now and breaking out be my own man. Like my uncle steve (god rest his soul) said "Be your own man, and believe in yourself kid. Because once you do the world is yours for the taking." I have been with my girl about 2 years. I love her with all my heart, and even though we have our differences I know we are best for each other. Getting ready for my career change in November. I have been busting my ass for months now and I know my training will pay off when the time comes. As far as mma is concerned 2009 was a good competition year, I medaled 2 out of 4 tournaments. This year i have mma training on the back burner in order to persue my new career. I am not giving up, I still want and will get that black belt. Hopefully this week I'll be able to go to Tiger/Gracie to get back into the swing of things.
