Here we are now.
The sun sneaks into my room from the windows. Its a glorious day outside. But inside not so much. Someone like me, it takes time for me to get out of my dooldrums. I stuck in a rut as some say. I am not always dark and brooding. For the most part I am a normal guy. I see the dark side of me as more work than anything else. I dedicate myself to study and research and trust me its not fun. Study and research is never fun.
A lot of the things that I study I dont know if they are true or not. I hope they are. I put my faith in it. I know deep down I am a villain. Look at my name. I am no hero in life or in the ring. And Jamo who knows how he sees himself. But I would say let actions speak louder than words. I have seen many things in my own life that have given me cause for pause as they say.
And through my studies I have yet to find a real demon. But I see one in the mirror each day. I have yet to find the devil or any sort of evil, but I see evil in the streets everyday. And maybe just maybe I wont ever find any proof of god or the devil. But that doesnt change the facts of what I have done. I have been a failure too many times to count in my life. My life. My words. My choices. My failures. It gets to be too much sometimes. Have you ever lived life according to your own codes and your own values?
Long ago a friend of mine taught me restraint. He taught me that we must put our life in order in all aspects otherwise how can we find truth? Truth you see is hidden in lies, hidden in chaos. We must find order and create order in our lives.
I follow a strict schedule. I eat breakfast each morning at 9am. If I am not hungry then I skip breakfast, but I do not eat earlier or later than 9am. I eat lunch at 1pm each day and dinner at 6:30pm. I do not veer off my schedule. I do not deviate from it. I enjoy a drink and a smoke, and I allow myself those vices on Saturday night and only on Saturday night. Never more than a few drinks and never more than a pack of cigarrettes.
I set these rules on me for good reasons. Because I need to have discipline. Discipline in all aspects of my life. I follow my own rules, I do not break them…….ever. And by doing so I translate that to my studies and research. I follow rules because without them, nothing gets done.
It is why I always show up when I am booked for a match. It is why I always speak first. I speak first because no opponent will tell me anything about me. No one will put me down. Try as they may, it is in speaking first that you control the conversation and much more.
Jamo has never really been in control of much. I would gather that he is not in control of his life much less his career. And maybe he thrives on that chaos. Some men do like that lifestyle. But I think its solely for fools.
Men who lack discipline do not go far in life. That has been my experience. And my experience has taught me quite a bit. Time is always the great equalizer and let me be clear. Jamo you are running out of time. So make the most of it while you still have it. Dont let another day go by.
Dont waste what precious little time you have left as World Champion. That isnt the way you want to go out is it? Show me something. Anything. Show some class. Show some guts. Show some courage. Most of all show you arent a procrastinating piece of nothing. And trust me I could have used worse words there at the end. But that isnt the kind of person I am. So the question stands, what kind of person are you?
