.. I'm glad I woke up this morning ..

1) So, I can enjoy another day in the sun, looking at the bright green points sticking up from the ground, assuring me that Spring is going to bring a lovely display of flowers again this year.

2) A special friend, who is still trying to recover from a serious drug addiction is coming by for lunch and I'm dying to tell her how wonderful and strong she is for conquering such a tremendous obstacle.

3) Everyday, I learn something new, or gain some kind of experience which will pave the way for me to embrace my future with earnest intentions .. I can't wait to find out what my "new" thing will be this day.

4) I love to see the peeps in my life smile and if I didn't wake up, then I would be dead and I'd surely miss out on another smiling face.

5) Last, but not least .. I have another day to spend with my friends in dxp, who always bring me a twist or anecdote, an epiphany or awakening in some way .. and another day gives me more of these moments to cherish.

"That's ok because you can just think about what joy there will be in waking up in the morning.

Nightie Night, Sweet Dreams"

Ha, try more like late afternoon. I'm only a morning person when I wake up in the morning, which is rare. But it's cool though, Ultimate Fight Night Live is coming on today at 9pm. I'm psyched!

However, my friend bailed on me .. so, #2 has to wait. Darn it, too .. because I really wanted to let her see my sincerity. I tell her on the phone, but, that's not the same as being able to show her .. she's overcome and conquered a severe drug addiction to Oxycontin (the worse there is next to heroin), and I think that is a huge success to her self-esteem, her determination and sense of value to herself and others in her life who love her.

And, what I learned today so far is both good and bad .. I learned that I'm much more opinionated about a certain subject than I thought .. I thought I was more passive about it, but, at the same time, it's good because I believe that the ground I stand on is worthy.

Hopefully, there's more to embrace ..

"Like boxing? Or, like fist-fights without gloves?"

UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) is mixed martial arts which is composed of almost every aspect of hand to hand combat, like punching, kicking, kneeing, elbowing, slamming, throwing, choking, wrestling, beating on your opponent when he's pinned to the ground, puting him in pain with a submission move until he submits or something breaks, etc. You just can't hit him in the nads or anything like that. The fighters wear gloves that cover most of the hand up until the second knuckle of the fingers so they can grab and hold onto each other so they can wrestle or perform a submission move. You should look up UFC on Wikipedia or Google it if you want to know more.

Anyway, here are my five reasons I'm glad I'm alive:

1. I'm anticipating my future, it's probably going to rock!

2. I'm generally a happy person who generally feels good.

3. I love learning new things on my own time.

4. UFC Fight Night Live comes on tonight.

5. I'm going to get drunk and hoop and holler to people pounding on each other. Hell yeah! Screw watching basketball or baseball, it's not violent enough to keep me interested.

"TDAA .. damn, that's really violent stuff !!!! Someone could get killed !!!
I know, I know .. that would just make it funner, right? lol"

Mixed martial arts fights are actually less dangerous than boxing. The fighters usually know their limits, so they tap out when being choked or in a submission for too long, stopping the fight, and once a fighter is knocked out the fight is stopped as well, as opposed to boxing where if a fighter is knocked out, he has ten seconds to get up and continue fighting, possibly getting knocked out again.

Does anyone else have 5 reasons why they are glad to be alive today?

I'll run with this...

1. Tonight is Chest/Triceps/Shoulders night at the gym and its my favorite

2. Dude, I'm now stoked about UFC 🙂 as well as the Balt/Pitts game tonight.

3. My Gem rang me up and we randomly had a clarification session about "us". While the answer wasn't what I wanted, at least I'm thankful for moving forward irregardless of the direction.

4. And yes, I'm absolutely thankful for you DXPR's that keep my ass entertained through the work day.

Eh, four will have to suffice 🙂 It's more than a lot of people get.
