I just got a message on myspace, my best friend from intermediate and high school wants to friend me. What a happy surprise. I havent spoken to Cindy for at least 7 or 8 years now. I tried to set up a time to hook up again when I went to Hawaii and she never replied to me. I'm tickled that she found me. Ill have to catch up with her. Just from perusing her myspace account I can tell there has been a lot of changes in her life since we last spoke.

On the home front, October is the birthday month for both Mikey and Donald. The birthday presents I've ordered for them are starting to arrive in the mail. Im so bad at this stuff. Like a 5 year old who cant keep a secret. As soon as the gift arrives I get so excited I try to give it to them. Luckily they both know this about me and have more willpower. They refuse to look or take the gifts. They both want to wait for their birthdays. Otherwise, I end up giving the gift to them when it comes in then have to scamble to get birthday presents when the actual date arrive. I'm still a kid a heart when it comes to birthdays. I treat them like its their special day, have a cake, gifts and prepare or take them out for a special dinner.

How is your week going?

My son's ghetto ass friends.

So unbelievable, they asked it they could borrow and extra long outdoor extension cord. Can you guess where this is going???? They got their power shut off so they are hoping to run a cord to the apartment below them so they can use the neighbors power. We dont have what they were asking for and I guess they borrowed it from someone else. My son went to visit his friends and said the neighbor below them wouldnt let them plug in their extension cord. I'll say it again, these ghetto ass people ran their extension cord from their apartment to the outlet that housekeeping uses to vacuum the hallways of the buildings.

We live in a complex with security doors. Management is up on their jobs and catches this soon. My thinking is "Im sorry son, you cant pay your utilities because you cant hold a job then you learn to do without."

That may sound cold. Ive had services cut off before, and we just lived without until I could make it to the utility company to rectify the problem.

Mikey has a interest in MMA (mixed martial arts). He's had a few amateur fights while in Hawaii. His preference is kick boxing. He had to quit his team when he moved here. He's been searching on the internet for MMA clubs in the area since he's been here and found on not too far from our apartment.  He went to check out the club the other day and get more information about the club. They have various martial arts classes but he was looking to join a team. He met with the owner of the club and spoke with him. They offered him a chance to try out and they would make a decision based on what they saw. He was disappointed because when he went back the owner of the club was a no show.  He sparred with 4 members of the team and says he did pretty well feeling like he beat all of his challengers.

The next day he went back to the club to see if they had made any decisions. Initially Mick the owner suggested that he take some classes with them first because generally they pick the top of the classes to join the team. One of the coaches at the club is Houston Alexander, he is a professional fighter and had some of his fights appear on UFC fight nights. When he heard the conversation he told Mikey to hang on while he and Mick chatted.

When they came out of the office Mick told Mikey welcome to the team and Houston gave him the thumbs up sign. Im tickled, excited and scared for my son. Tickled because he is good enough to make the team. Excited because I enjoy MMA cage fighting. Scared because I dont want to see my baby get injured.

He did it!
