Mike Tyson

The best and most honest interview I have ever seen was Mike Tyson on Oprah last week.

To be honest when I heard of him appearing on Oprah, my first thought was "what the heck is he up to now".

I knew I was going to watch it, because I was always a fan of Iron Mike Tyson, and anyone who watched boxing knew he was a man who not only studied the sport, but lived it.

I heard Mike speak, quite a few years back. Him, along with some other Champion Boxers came to our community to speak to the youth about discipline and how in order to be the best you had to work at it.

Mike was the best without question.

Then Mike went through all sorts of changes. The one that shocked me the most was when he bit a piece out of Ivander Holyfields ear. I thought at that point Mike had lost it.

Until...

He appeared on Oprah. I was shocked , absolutely shocked. First at the physical changes I guess I wasn't keeping up with ole Iron Mike Tyson, because I knew about the facial tattoo, but I had no idea he had gotten so beefy!

As you can see--He's along way from where he used to be.

Mike spoke to Oprah openly and honestly. He answered every question Oprah asked him the best he could, there were a lot of I don't knows in there but I honestly think that was because he couldn't express it the way he wanted to, Mike just couldn't find the right words. There was also a lot of emotion, Mike broke down more than a few times, but I didn't find it woosy, he was just a man overwhelmed as he spoke of his past aggression and anger. A man, who as he says it "Just Got Tired Of Failing"

Mike spoke candidly with Oprah about the loss of his daughter, and his abusive marriage to Robin Givens, He held nothing back.

I felt for Mike Tyson, the Iron was gone from him.

Mike Introduced his new wife to his fans. The beautiful Lakiha Spencer, who claims to have been in love with Mike since she was 15.

Way to go Mike!

Then Mike spoke about the infamous fight with Ivander Holyfield. He told Oprah that the apology he had given Ivander wasn't sincere when he gave it. He was very honest about why he did what he did  and he would love the opportunity to sit down and have a talk to Ivander.

Oprah played fairy God mother and Friday gave Mike that very opportunity. Ivander had seen the show and called in to say he would like to talk to Mike.

Mike honestly seemed very grateful for the opportunity, to talk and tell his colleague how grateful he was and How much he respected him.

This was a side of Mike Tyson, no one knew. Mike really seems to be on the right road, viewers seemed to have a new found respect for a man who seemed to be reckless and just crazy at times.

Wow, I was so impressed. I can't wait to see the Documentary, They showed clips of it on the Oprah show, it doesn't seem to be a movie of a man show boating, but a man who realized he was on a path to destruction, who knew he had to make some changes and get his self right.

All I can say is I found it an amazing and honest interview.

I do this for me

I do this for me
No one else
My topics
My themes
My language
Are all my own
And while I appreciate it when others can get something out of what I write
Whether it is reading what I write for pleasure’s sake
Or taking something out of it
I still do this for me
Although I am pleased when people like what I write
I never write to please anyone
The day that I start doing that is the day I need to step away from the keyboard
Or put the pen and paper down to never pick it up again
I do this for me
Some people like some of the subject matter that I speak on
And not others
And that’s cool
Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion
Just keep in mind
I do this for me
This is my outlet
Whether I am writing erotic
Or dark
Or humorous
Or matter of fact
I do this for me
I write to an audience
Anyone who writes any piece of any magnitude does so
But I write for my own benefit
If that makes me arrogant
Then so be it
But I am just letting it be known
That no matter the theme
No matter the topic
No matter the subject matter
First, foremost, and always
I do this for me

This is It
