The UFC

I remember this one time a few of us met Skippy and his family for dinner at Carlos O'Kelly's. We were in the midst of a normal conversation when he brought up the UFC. He was a huge fan. Of course, just talking about the UFC wasn't enough, so he and one of his close friends Ryan Wahl decided to show us some moves. The two of them started to wrestle one another in the middle of the restaurant. We would have said something but we were too busy covering our faces with embarrassment and laughing at the same time.

Then, the waitress came to restore sanity to the situation. To our bad luck, she loved tattoos. Upon seeing Skippy's tattoos, they started to talk in depth about them and before we knew it, Skippy and Ryan were back to wrestling on the floor, with the waitress cheering them on. Only Skippy could pull of something like this. The best part was that he wasn't at all embarrassed about this. He lived life in little experiences and enjoyed every moment.

Seeing how annoyed I was, Skippy came over, hugged me and said "I love you bubba". Typical Skippy.

What I admired about him was that in the last couple of years, he faced a lot of adversity, both personal and professional, yet, he was always positive and always smiled.
