Test The Waters

I know I have a long way to grow and mature as a fighter, but there's next 5 days will be a big test for me and my carrer. I will be training with the top of the top. I'm talking Forrest Griffen, Tyson Griffen, Gray Maynard, Sean Tompkin, ect. That's just to name a few. I will be in the Mecca of the MMA world, Las Vegas!!  My manager and very close friend Jc lives, and fights out in Vegas, so today I am flying out to vegas to meet up with him and train with his crew for 5 days. This comes at a critical time considering I am only one week away from  the next time I step into the cage.

This past month has been a frustrating and busy month for me. Although I have so many people willing and wanting to help me  succeed around me I have not been able to take full advantage of this. One of my biggest problems is I bottle everything up inside and try to deal with it in other ways,( thanks dad)! With acting like I really don't care that my grandmother is not doing so well or acting like work is totally 100% fine, at times I feel the complete opposite.  I do care dearly about my grandmother and wish only the best for her, I don't want her to suffer at all or and uncomfort but i still can' t bring myself to visit her and see her doing so bad on a regular.  I'm not one for excuses at all so don't take it as one!!  This trip that I am about to embark on has a lot of meaning besides just the regular vegas trip, trust.  Its not about the bright lights, strip clubs or alcohol!   Its time to get real serious and TRAIN!

So the plan is touch down in Vegas, go grocery shopping and then call it a night and start in early in the morning with one thing on my mind, fighting.  I named this blog test the waters because that is just what i'm going to do. I have been hearing it for so long, " kid you got talent" ," you have a lot of potential"  an d" your gonna be on the big  screen someday"!  These things are all nice to hear but guess what, now is my time, to prove it to myself! To thank those who have stood by me and believed in me the whole time through the tuff times and all. And also for those who have had doubt in me. I dont do to prove others wrong, I do them for me! And at the best of my ability for me....

This trip i plan on training with some of the best in the game. Not to workout along side of them, not to take pictures or ask for autographs, to train WITH them. I know I am skilled I know  I can hang with these guys and I know that my big break/ fight is here around the corner a fight or two in the future. This trip is just a stepping stone closer to the ultimate goal, its just a trip where it will be dedicated  solely to doing something I love. I am going to push myself harder than I ever have before, going to take my career to the next level, if your with me hop aboard if not, get the fuck of the train because its leaving and not slowing down or looking back.

Overall feeling is very excited! im ready to get to vegas already and do this....
