What the hell, Tech? You morons don't know a good coach when you see one? Coach Leach has done more for the fans, the program, and the school than anyone (maybe Bobby Knight did more for publicity).
My point is - how can TTU admin fire Coach Leach for putting a player in an air-condition "shed" when they hired another coach who choked a student and threw chairs like it was an Olympic event?
I'm boycotting Tech until they fire Gerald Myers and Kent Hance. They will not see another dime for clothing, games, or tuition (that was just raised, again!).
Screw you Tech. Good luck Coach Leach!

Christmas - frustration at it's best!
I finally feel like myself again following the holidays. My kids, who live in Arkansas with their mother, came to visit and stay 10 days with me. It started out great! The last time I saw the kids was in September when me and my girlfriend went to Arkansas to visit. It's amazing how much they can grow and change in a few short months.
Let me start out by telling the beginning of the frustration that I had. We have 2 dogs (a malti-poo named Baxter and a Yorkie-Poo named Mia). We keep our dogs inside however at night they sleep in their crates. The crates were located in the guest bedroom where my daughter sleeps. Instead of letting the dogs out of their crates in the morning (when they are scratching and whining to go outside) she takes them out of the crates and puts them in bed with her. Autumn knew to take the dogs outside first thing in the morning because we discussed this (my twin boys did this the few days before this incident). I was brushing my teeth and getting ready for the day when I hear Mia, our 2.3 lbs Yorkie-poo crying horribly. I rush into the room to see what's going on and Autumn is holding Mia, who is still crying. I ask what happened and I get a "I don't know.. she was in her crate and started crying". I look Mia over and she's protecting her passenger side rear leg (that's what Jackie calls them anyways haha). I ask Autumn again what happened because I was worried that she got her foot caught in the door and maybe twisted her leg. As I'm looking over Mia, I noticed some dog poop on Autumn's blanket.. on the bed. I asked her what was that? Right then, I knew Autumn lied to me. Mia was not in her crate and she fell onto the floor. I guessed it was either a broken or dislocated hip. I sit Autumn in the living room and I drill her on what happened and I let her know that I know that Mia fell off the bed and she lied. She finally admits that Mia was on the bed and that she fell. Autumn is almost 11 and I feel like she knows better. $150 dollars later (and the awesome attention of a Dr. Oden) Mia came home. As of yesterday, she stopped limping so much and is back to her normal playing self. She did have a fracture in her hip (femoral head fracture) however Dr. Oden felt she would heal fine. So far, she is doing great.
From this point (this happened on the 22nd) I felt very frustrated and irritated. I was very disappointed in my daughter. I let her know this and I know it really upset her. The problem I have is she's is a very jealous, manipulating, young-lady. It worries me to death! She lies, she does mean things to her brothers (and enjoys it!!!) and she thinks it's okay to do these things! She still thinks I'm mad about Mia falling off the bed. That's the further from the truth - I'm mad because she lied and I'm mad because I feel like I have failed with her. Is that normal?
Anyways, I feel like this really affects my current relationship with Jackie (we have no children and Jackie wants a child). I just feel like such a failure as a Father that bringing more children in the world scares me to death! Especially if they turn out to be horrible people! I would just rather not know anything to be honest! I know this is irrational however it's my true feelings on this matter.
Onward to Christmas eve! We all went to my parents house (which stinks horribly of smoke and pets and causes me to get sick!) and opened presents. The boys were very excited and enjoyed their gifts and Autumn moped around and acted very unhappy. I'm not sure if it was due to the gifts she received, what her brothers received, or if this was some issue still left over from the Mia incident. Me and Jackie got a few nice things (considering my parents, my brother, and his girlfriend all do not work.. more on this later!!!). It was nice of them. We came back home, ate some left over spaghetti and watched the movie "Up".
Squirrel!
Christmas day! Surprisingly, I was the first one awake. I had already set out the presents early in the morning before I went to bed and I must have been the excited one since I woke up first! Autumn followed shortly after and she eventually woke up her brothers with the awesome phrase "Boys! Santa came!" They all came running back into the living room and tore into their presents! It was very nice to see the smiles, the yelling of "AWESOME!" and the sporadic hugs that were spawned from excitement. I really enjoyed watching their faces light up. Jackie and I opened our gifts to each other (I got some new boxers, a watch, a wallet, and some pub glasses). While I helped the kids put together their toys Jackie began to cook Christmas dinner. None of her family was coming over, just mine. She is so amazing to put up with me, my kids, and then my family. Soon after I finished getting toys together and trashed picked up, I helped out in the kitchen. Lunch was uneventful and followed with some Rockband 2 with my brother and his girlfriend. They seemed to enjoy the game. I think Jackie was uncomfortable for most of this being she didn't really know anyone and didn't participate in anything other than cooking, eating, and cleaning up the kitchen. I hope someday she will enjoy herself a little more but I can definitely understand her just wanting to get through the day.
Christmas night we watched a movie and just relaxed. I don't remember what movie we watched at the moment.
Sunday the 27th we met my Ex-wife in Oklahoma City to exchange the kids. It's about halfway between me and her but still a 5.5 hour drive. It was pretty sad but I think we both were ready to have our normal lives back (sad isn't it?). After the exchange I met up with my best friend (and my best friend since 1st grade) his wife and their son. We had a nice lunch at Carino's and then took a much needed walk around Target (Italian food sits so heavy in the stomach!). The roads weren't too horrible and we had Baxter and Mia with us (which called for extra stops lol).
We made it back home and were in bed shortly afterwards. I'm off until Thursday so I'm enjoying my time to myself (Jackie is back at work today and tomorrow).

First blog!
Welcome to my blog! This is my first blog and I'll start out by talking about one of my hobbies, mixed martial arts!
I found this sport on accident after I joined a gym that opened up down the road from my house. I drove by it every day going to class and work. The window said "Boxing" and "Jiu-Jitsu" so I thought I would check it out. I stopped by one night and saw these people rolling around on the mat when a smaller guy named Brad approaches me. We talk a little and then I sit and watch for an hour. I went back the next night and had my own Gi shortly after.
From there, me and Brad became friends and he showed me some DVD movies of Ultimate fighting. He told me the story about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu the Gracie family. I was sucked in and I loved every moment of it. A year and a half later I move and never trained with Brad again (even when I moved back to my home town, Brad was killed in a motorcycle accident). When I was moving back I was looking forward to meeting up with Brad and getting my butt kicked once again
Anyways, I love this sport. Not only do I enjoy watching it, I enjoy participating. I volunteer my time to the local fighters and the MMA club as a medical advisor (being I'm a Nurse and a Paramedic I standby at the local events in case of injuries).
I'm glad this sport is doing so well and I enjoy sharing stories and opinions with everyone who reads my blog!
I hope you join me and I'd love to see comments and posts regarding my blogs!
