Good day at the gym. Some of the guys seem to be getting a little more serious about training. Reason for
this? One word, KANSAS. This year went by fast. We've lost a few boxers to the Professional ranks. Jairo,
Jesse, Celina and Hector. They all fought in last years Ringside tournament. I remember Jairo saying he
didn't want to fight amateur anymore after our Kansas trip. He was frustrated cause he had just lost to a
"nobody". That nobody ended up making the Olympic trials, Duane Calfero. He also won Silver at this
years National Golden Gloves.

Jairo Martinez is close to signing a management contract.
Someone took Celina's lunch money.
No males boxers from San Antonio at the Nationals.
San Antonio's boxing scene needs an Extreme Makeover. Someone contact Tye and let him know.
You must now include your email, bastard.
If I use big words, I may look smart.
This is a BIG WORD.
I still use my record player.

Overall........good weekend. Our boxers had a good showing in New Braunfels and I scored Pearl Jam
tickets to see them in Boston later this month. I'll also finally be able to die in peace. I'll be driving up to
Amherst while in Boston to see my wifes home, Emily Dickinson.
I also finally got an answer from someone online on why "Larry's" (Andy Scott) bout was stopped last week
here in San Antonio. "The bout was stopped cause he was bleeding, you idiot!", was the answer I received.
This must be a new rule that I"ve never heard of. Well, it's either a new rule or the person that emailed this
to me is a total dumbass. I'm going with him being a dumbass.
Hector hates to study.
First names second, nicknames first.
My phone sucks
Judge Zaragosa is not a prick.

Business is good. Good for us, bad for you.
Fat people shouldn't be cremated.
Ruben Chavarria is proud to own a copy of the USA BOXING by-laws. He should read them.

The neighbors hate paying rent.

We finally had a decent showing her locally at a boxing show. Close to 40 bouts. And nobody bitched. Well
a few people did but there was teams from Odessa, Dallas, Houston so everyone kept their mouth shut and
let the show go on. We had three of our boxers matched up. Larry and Christian lost, Richard won. The
guys will be fighting again in a few weeks in New Braunfels.
Training for this years Texas Games & Ringside Tournament is not going to be fun.
Ball checking weekly.
The pinche Wii is addicting.
I miss the Atari 2600
Machine Gun thinks he's Dr. Phil. Muy chingon con una bolia by his side.

Some boxers need medical attention, others just need attention.
A few San Antonio boxing gyms were missing up in Lubbock.
The flight from Dallas to Lubbock sucked.
Cresencio Ramos JR is getting old.
I was two hours late to the Lubbock Airport.
Spurs will win.
Phuck Phil Jackson.
I bought a scanner.
I'm working on a Ramos' boxing archives section. 1974 - Present.
AJ likes boxing.
Karate thought I wouldn't be at the gym Friday evening.
Rey seems serious about boxing.
I'm serious about going to sleep.
May 4, 2008 Good week. Hector was tested in L.A. and came out on top. Our JO Team will be missing a
few boxers this time around. They all want to fight, but don't want to train.
Work has been great. We've been really busy at the crematory. It's amazing what 120 minutes of heat/fire
can do to human flesh. In less than 120 minutes a person can easily disappear. A 250 pound fatso
becomes less than 2 pounds of dust easy! The whole process is pretty amazing. We've done close to 1000
bodies in less than 3 years.
My brother Mike and I have been cremating in the wee hours of the night. At first it was pretty spooky, but
now.........."they" all know us so we're getting used to having to cremate at midnight now.
