MESSING WITH THE LAW

manolohernandez — Wed, 1 Oct 2008 18:44:00 PDT

THIS IS SOMETHING I DO TO KEEP MYSELF ENTERTAINED. I PRACTICE VARIOUS ACCENTS AND BAD RACIST IMPRESSIONS. THEN I SHOW UP TO THE FIGHTER'S MEETINGS AND HIDE.

I DO THIS WHEN MY GOOD FRIEND CSAC REFFEREE JASON HERZOG AKA "THE LAW" IS REFFING. I BASICALLY WAIT TILL HE EXPLAINS NO FISH-HOOKING AND I HIDE IN THE CROWD

AND SAY "WHAT'S THAT?"

AS HE STARTS TO EXPLAIN ABOUT HOW IT THE STICKING OF THE FINGER INTO VARIOUS ORIFFICES...I WAIT TILL HE'S NEARLY WRAPPED UP AND I QUICKLY ASK IN WHATEVER ACCENT "YES, IS THE THUMB A FINGER?"

I KNOW ONLY I THINK IT'S FUNNY. HE GIVES THE CROWD THE DIRTIEST LOOK.

RELATIONSHIP/KARMA :PART 2

manolohernandez — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 16:09:46 PDT

WHEN I SIT AND THINK ABOUT THE THINGS I'VE DONE TO GIRLS IN THE PAST IT IS NO SURPRISE THAT I HAD SO MUCH "BAD LUCK".

I MEAN I'VE LIED, CHEATED, AND I OWE GIRLS SO MUCH MONEY THAT I HAD TO DELETE MY MYSPACE A FEW YEARS AGO.

I ONCE LEAD A REALLY CRAZY LIFE.

NOW I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR FIVE YEARS AND I LIVE MY LIFE AS A SOLID CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF SOCIETY.

DUDE OF COURSE THE UNIVERSE CAME TO COLLECT IT'S DUE......I HAVE BEEN A TOTAL DOUCHE.

I HAVE DECIDED THIS YEAR TO TRACK DOWN EVERY CHICH I EVER WRONGED AND PLAN TO APOLOGIZE, PAY BACK FINANCIALLY, OR LET KICK ME IN THE GROIN.

IT WILL BE A TOUGH FEW YEARS BUT HOPEFULLY IT WILL CURE ME FROM MY SOUL-CANCER.

WISH ME LUCK.

RELATIONSHIPS

manolohernandez — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:52:10 PDT

I WANT TO START WITH A COUPLE THINGS I WROTE THAT I HOPE YOU WILL OPT TO QUOTE SOMETIME.

"MEN AND WOMEN ARE EQUALLY SELFISH AND LONELY. IN FACT, WE ARE SO SELFISH...WE CANNOT ADMIT HOW LONELY WE ARE."

"MY MOM USED TO SAY "YOU CAN CATCH MORE FLIES WITH HONEY THAN WITH VINEGAR" IN RESPONSE I SAY "TRY USING TURD..YOU'LL GET MORE FLIES THAN YOU CAN HANDLE."

NOW A STORY ABOUT KARMA.....

BACK IN 2000 I DATED THIS GIRL WHO WAS ONE OF THOSE ACTOR/MODEL TYPES.

AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OF CO-HABITATION WE OR RATHER SHE DECIDED WE HAD TAKEN IT AS FAR AS IT COULD GO.

THIS CAME AT THE END OF A PRETTY TOUGH WEEK FOR ME AND IT WAS RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

LET ME SET THE TONE...I HAD LOST MY JOB THAT DAY , AS I COME FROM THE MEETING FINDING OUT I WAS FIRED MY CAR HAD BEEN TICKETED FOR AN EXPIRED METER, AND EARLIER IN THE WEEK I HAD DISCOVERED MY GRANDMOTHER WAS ON HER DEATHBED.

WHEN I GOT OFF WORK I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND SHE SAID "WOW. THAT'S SUCKS....YOU'D BETTER SIT DOWN, YOUR NOT GONNA LIKE THIS EITHER."

DUN, DUN, DUUUUUN.

"FUCK THIS" I THOUGHT. "I WILL KEEP A STIFF UPPER LIP AND NOT GIVE THIS BITCH THE SATISFACTION OF SEEING ME CRY."

AS I WALKED OUT THE DOOR SHE ASKED "WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"

"TO MY PARENTS HOUSE."

SHE SAID " I THOUGHT WE COULD STILL SLEEP TOGETHER".

MAN THAT WAS ROUGH. BECAUSE AT THAT TIME I FELT LIKE IT WOULDN'T BE ENOUGH FOR ME.

SO.. OK. I WILL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT I DIDN'T TAKE IT WELL.

LATER I CAME TO FIND OUT SHE HAD BEGUN SEEING ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS/CO-WORKERS(WHO WAS MARRIED AT THE TIME AND HAD A NEWBORN).

I WAS SO TORN UP ABOUT THIS SITUATION THAT IT SENT ME INTO A TAIL SPIN.

THE NEXT THING I KNEW I WAS GETTING INVOLVED WITH ALL KINDS OF GNARLY BEHAVIOR. I WON'T GET TOO MUCH INTO THAT STUFF AT THIS TIME.

I DECIDED I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN AND GET PERSPECTIVE.

I DECIDED TO NOT HAVE SEX FOR A WHILE BECAUSE I DECIDED THAT I WAS AT POINT IN MY LIFE WHERE MY LIFE WAS SO F'D UP THAT I COULD ONLY F-UP THE LIVES OF THE GIRLS I WAS THEN DATING.

SEX CLOUDED MY JUDGEMENT SO I STOPPED IT. I STOPPED HURTING PEOPLE, I STOPPED HURTING MY SELF. SEX AND SEX OFFERED TO ME WAS HOW I DECIDED TO JUDGE HOW I FELT ABOUT MYSELF. THIS IDEA WAS SO FLAWED.

THIS IS THE TIME IN MY LIFE THAT I LEARNED THAT WE CAN'T DECIDE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DO. WE CAN'T FORCE THEM TO FEEL ANY CERTAIN WAY. ALL WE CAN DO IS DECIDE HOW WE ARE GOING TO REACT TO IT.

IN OUR LIVES WE CAN ONLY CONTROL WHAT WE DO. ONLY WE CAN DECIDE HOW WE FEEL. IT WAS TIME TO LET GO OF THIS STUPID ANAMOSITY BECAUSE IT WAS HOLDING ME BACK FROM LIVING WELL.

NOW...FAR REMOVED FROM "ME THEN", FROM THE SITUATION, FROM MY OWN IGNORANCE, I FEEL EMOTIONALLY SMALL AND PLAIN STUPID.

LATER IN LIFE YOU JUST WISH SOMEONE WOULD BE AS HONEST WITH YOU AS SHE WAS WITH ME THEN.

SURE, IT HURT AT THE TIME, AND IF I WASN'T SO F'ING STUPID AT THE TIME I WOULD HAVE JUST MOVED ON WITHOUT HURTING SO MANY OF THOSE WHO WOULD FOLLOW HER.

HINDSITE OF COURSE IS 20/20.

WHEN I GOT MARRIED 5 YEARS AGO I INVTED THEM TO MY WEDDING NO HARD FEELINGS.

LATER I HEARD THROUGH A FRIEND THAT WE ALL HAD IN-COMMON THAT THE GUY (WHO WAS MY FRIEND) HAD GONE UP TO HER PLACE IN LA.

WHILE HE WAS CLEANING HER APARTMENT (LOL) HE FOUND SEVERAL USED CONDOMS IN HER BEDSIDE TRASH CAN. HE DID NOT TAKE IT WELL.

AT FIRST I LAUGHED...AND THEN I FELT BAD ABOUT LAUGHING BECAUSE I FEEL THAT I AM BETTER THAN THAT.

NOW-A-DAYS HE WORKS A LAME JOB AND HAS TO TAKE ANGER MANAGEMENT CLASSES AND SHE IS STILL TRYING TO ACTRESS/MODEL. THERE WAS MORE TO THIS STORY AND AFTER HAVING WRITTEN IT I FELT LIKE I WAS JUST TRYING TO KICK THEM WHEN THEY WERE DOWN. THAT AIN'T ME!

MMAX FIGHTS IN PUEBLA

manolohernandez — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 18:39:00 PST

The city of Puebla Mexico was officially founded on April 16th, 1531. As the first city in Central Mexico founded by Spanish conquistadors that was not built upon the ruins of a conquered settlement, Puebla Mexico quickly developed its own Spanish traditions. Located conveniently between Veracruz and Mexico City, Puebla Mexico was also a popular stop for anyone traveling between the two larger cities during colonial times. If you plan to stop in Puebla as you travel Mexico, facts about Puebla Mexico are both useful and interesting. During the late 19th century, Puebla experienced a large influx of European settlers from Germany, Italy and Spain. Modern day Puebla still shows the influence of the German population. Events and festivals such as Oktoberfest are still celebrated passionately in the Colonia Humboldt, a particularly German neighborhood in Puebla. Another lasting German influence was, up until 2003, the Volkswagen manufacturing site located in the city. Puebla was the last site to produce the now discontinued Volkswagen Beetle, and although the car is no longer manufactured, other German and French companies still operate in the city. Apart from a bustling textile economy, Puebla Mexico also has a score of universities located within the city, boasting more then 20. For anyone stopping in Puebla as they travel Mexico, there are plenty of things to do in the city. Puebla has two professional football teams (American soccer) and a huge sports stadium with a capacity for 45,000 fans. Many tourists who travel Mexico and head to Puebla take advantage of the city's great sightseeing. Double Decker busses offer rides through the most historical sections with tour guides calling out facts about Puebla Mexico and making stops at popular spots such as the Amparo Museum of the African Safari Zoo. Yet another popular spot in Puebla is the pyramid of Cholula, located right in the urban area of Puebla. Cholula was an important Aztecan city, and the huge pyramid was the largest in the New World. The National Museum of Mexican Railroads can also be found in Puebla, with facts about Puebla Mexico, as well as the famous Chihuahua Pacific Railway. The history Mexico Puebla has to offer is fascinating and worth exploring. Eating out in Puebla is one of the most celebrated activities in the city. Puebla is considered to be the home of mole sauce, the rich cinnamon and chocolate sauce that accompanies many traditional Mexican dishes. Camote, a dessert-like sweet potato entrée, is also a famous Pueblan food. A bevy of delicious restaurants serving local and international fare are found throughout the city. As the fourth largest city in Mexico, after Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey, Puebla is an excellent city to visit and a great place to stay a few nights. Sightseeing, touring and shopping at a local market are wonderful ways to explore the city and learn more as you travel BILLY METZGER AND I TOOK A TRIP INTO PUEBLA 60 MILES SOUTH OF MEXICO CITY (I THINK) FOR BILLY'S FIRST FIGHT VS. ADOLFO DELATORRE "EL MONSTRO" WHO IS A LOCAL FAVORITE WITH A THEN RE CORD OF LIKE 6-6. BILLY AND I FOUND RESTAURANT S THAT REFUSED TO SERVE US. POOR SERVICE IN THE HOTEL WE STAYED IN.

WHILE IN THE HOTEL RESTAURANT IT TOOK 20 MINUTES TO GET SERVED, THEN 45 MINUTES TO GET OUR FOOD. I HATED THIS PLACE MAINLY BECAUSE OF THIS CITY'S RURAL PACE. IF YOU ENJOY ARCITECTURE AND ARTYOU MAY ENJOY THIS CITY'S SPANISH COLONIAL CHARM. LONG STORY SHORT WE HAVE TURNED DOWN SEVERAL FIGHTS IN THIS CITY. OH YEAH BILLY KO'D THE GUY IN LIKE 1:20

RYAN GRACIE RIP

manolohernandez — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 22:45:00 PST

THIS IS VENGA'S ARTICLE FROM SHERDOG.

Ryan Gracie (Pictures) was found dead Saturday in a jail cell at the 91st police station, in Vila Leopoldina, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The 33-year-old Gracie, who fought as a mixed martial artist exclusively for the now defunct PRIDE Fighting Championships and was the brother of Renzo Gracie (Pictures), was arrested on Friday for stealing a car and trying to steal a bike. The fighter had been transported to the station after a toxicological examination held in the Medical Legal Institute.

According to the Secretary of Public Security, the body of Gracie was found around 7 a.m. when police were checking the cells of prisoners. Gracie was alone and was found fallen into a corner.

Experts of the Medical Legal Institute could not be reached Saturday to make the necessary examinations and direct the body of the fighter to the institute. According to his lawyer, Rodrigo Souto, the cause of death has not been disclosed by police.

Gracie was 5-2 as a mixed martial artist. After starting 1-2, including a decision loss to Kazushi Sakuraba (Pictures) in December 2000, Gracie went 4-0. His last win -- and fight -- came on Dec. 31, 2004, when he defeated Yoji Anjo by armbar.
