when mania gets real


Thank you. Thank you to mania, thank you for everything.

Some of you already know, but for those that don't, here goes.... On Monday July 28th I am going to have surgery to correct a heart defect I recently learned that I was born with. It has nothing to do with the drinking, or gay internet sex, or kicking all your asses in the money pool. Just something I was born with. The surgery is open heart, my doctors will be replacing a section of my aorta, as well as replacing a bad valve with a mechanical one. I'm not gonna lie, this is one of the scariest things I have ever had to deal with, and I want to call out a few maniacs that have been by my side helping me to get through this. Jesse, Trippilch, OJR, Pride, Joben, Deuce, vhw, bons, violentmike, magicmike, ak, and phasebook thank you guys. From the bottom of my heart, no pun intended. Your kind words and generosity have given both myself and my wife strength during this stressful time. This is the reason mania is the best community on the web, and why I refuse to go anywhere else for my mma news. My wife has Hollands info, and will be keeping him up to date with the latest news. Until then I'll be around, and if you remember to, shoot some good vibes my way.

Keeping positive
