You must learn to question everything. To wait before moving, to look before stepping, and to observe everything
Even in the losses, I always saw glimpses of something that kept me going.
It's about being able to go through the grind, willing to get back up when you're knocked down. And when life's not going well, not getting down on yourself and just getting back up and getting back to work, and striving to be the best you can be.

I met Pat Militich when I was a junior in high school when I was 16 and just started training and went from there. I went to the same high school that Pat had attended and he would bring some of his fighters out to wrestling practice to work out and I got to know him that way. I immediately like it.
I did a lot of smoker fights and fought pretty much every week since Pat wouldn't let me fight until he was sure I was ready. I was also boxing and so I had 30 unofficial fights or more of those.
Government isn't a good way to solve problems. . . [G]overnment is concerned mostly with self-perpetuation and is subject to fantastic ideas about its own capabilities. . . . [G]overnment is wasteful of the nation's resources, immune to common sense and subject to pressure from every half-organized bouquet of assholes. . . . [G]overnment is distrustful of and disrespectful toward average Americans while being easily gulled by Americans with money, influence or fame.

I do endless chopping and preparing things. I really find that relaxing. I do a lot of thinking as I am chopping and cooking.
