Though I may be the size of a grubby little song-show and dance Oompa Loompa, I’m no byproduct of Willy Wonka and therefore under zero obligation to sugarcoat shit for you, or me, or anyone else. There is only one golden ticket to my chocolate factory, and it is in the sole hands of John […]
Read moreFighting is an unconventional occupation as is, but throw in a global pandemic to the mix and suddenly your whole world is in disarray. Understandably, there are numerous unprecedented precautions we all must now implement, but securing a contracted fight during the Covid-19 era is almost damn near impossible.

Read moreStress. One word. 6 letters. A whole bunch of reasons behind it. If you’re anything like me, you find yourself getting frazzled constantly, and often by exceptionally minute things that just tend to pile up over time. Little by little, the grains of sand start forming eclipsing dunes and you’ve made mountains out of mole […]
Read moreIt’s been a rough week, mentally, physically, and spiritually.
