My Interests



Fitness
way of Life

“It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference.”

- Paul Bryant >

Fitness is a real big part of my life, I live a very strict lifestyle; the lifestyle of a bodybuilder. I love taking care of my body. I love setting goals, breaking them and setting new ones. It makes me a better person, both physically and mentally. Not only does it give me a boost of confidence, but working out clears my mind and lets me be more calm. I love it and this lifestyle is here to stay.

The World of Boxing

I’d Like to Meet
The Woman of My Dreams

“Every relationship I've been in, I've overwhelmed the girl. They just can't handle all the love.”

- Justin Timberlake

Well I guess ima write about the kind of woman I’d like to meet, even though im not gonna look for anyone right now. Id like to meet someone who isn’t afraid to be themselves around me, because if you’ve made it far enough for me to spent my time with you then im already interested. I wanna meet someone who I can talk about anything to, no matter how weird or stupid it may be, cause everyone wonders about something stupid and weird. I want someone who has a great sense of humor, and I can laugh with for hours on out, on the most silliest of things. I want someone to understand my past,and who doesn’t give up on me cause of my insecurities, but the reason for it is because I’ve been hurt before, and im just being careful with my heart, that’s all. I want someone who isn’t afraid to try new things, who has an open mind about things. Who Is two steps ahead of me. I wanna meet someone who has a plan in life, and is determined and is ambitious about it. I want someone who I can take out into the county, and isn’t grossed out bout the fact of out a night, watching the stars and talking the night away. Someone who is true, about what they say and feel, who don’t play any games and know the kind of man they want. Someone who appreciates their man and isn’t afraid to express their love. I want someone who I can just out of the blues, just go out for a long drive somewhere, and enjoy each others company. I want someone who Isnt just about themselves, who enjoys spending time with their family and stuff. I want someone who isn’t afraid to lean on my shoulder when they need it, and is able to talk to me about any problems they have, cause im not one to judge, ill leave that up to god. I want someone who I can point to and brag about. Someone who is faithful and considerate about my feelings, someone who is grown up. Just to be there for me through thick and thin,no matter how tough a situation may get. Someone who I can talk to without judging me. I want someone who enjoys life. Someone who gets me and touches my heart in everyway possible. I know it sounds like an impossible find, and it probably is, but hey that’s my dream girl.

Who I owe all my success
Mi Familia
“You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.”
- Desmond Tutu
My heroes are my parent, my brothers and sisters, cousins. Even though I was a pain in the butt growing up, they never gave up on me. My parents stayed there supporting me in whatever I chose to do, even joining the army. Even though it broke their heart every time they had to say goodbye. They always gave me the love and support to go on and take on any obstacle that came my way. What’s so amazing about it is that they didn’t have to do any of that, they are really my grandparents, but the adopted me when I was a baby. My three older brothers, (who are actually my uncles) who inspired me to better myself and lead by example. My little brother, who looks up to me and I hope I inspire him to go the right direction in life. My two little sisters; Lisa, who is a big pain in the but for me but is always there when I need someone to talk to, and harlie, the devil in disguise. My cousin Gordo; my main man and designated driver. Last but not least my real mom queena (her nickname). I’ve never really showed her love, or even thanked her for the greatest gift of them all, the gift of life. I know it wasn’t easy for her, having a baby at 18. She was just a kid, and I can speak from experience. But she had to adapt and overcome. I would also like to thank her for giving me better opportunities to succeed, by giving me up to my grandparents. So when people ask why I fight for my country, it’s because of them. So they can sleep at night knowing that we are here in the front lines keeping them safe. It’s just a small token of my appreciation for them
