MORE EXCLUSIVE 8COUNTNEWS.COM PACQUIAO TRAINING FOOTAGE

COONEY'S THOUGHTS - LOS ANGELES AND 8COUNTNEWS.COM

Hello to all of my readers here at the blog. I am back from my vacation in Hollywood California. What a great time! I spent a week in Los Angeles covering Manny Pacquiao's training camp. Ed Anderson (8CN Co-Owner) and I were given the red carpet treatment by my friend Freddie Roach, and Pacquiao bodyguard Rob Peters.

As you can tell by looking at the pictures that I posted here on the blog, and the video footage posted over at the home base 8CountNews.com, that it was a very successful trip. On Friday, Ed and I were invited by Team Pacquiao to dinner. We had a great time at one of Hollywood's finest restaurants, especially some of the table talk.

The measure of how you are doing in life is what you can produce and offer to the world. Surrounding 8CountNews this past week were legends, exclusive access to those legends, a weeks worth of laughing, good times, and great memories.

8CountNews will continue to bring you, the boxing fans, nothing but the best interviews, videos, and podcasts on the net, period!

8CountNews has only been in existence a few short months, and we are already blowing past our competitors. We at 8CN want to thank you, the readers, the fans for making us the fastest growing Boxing/MMA site on the net.

2009 has been a true blessing for me personally. Life could not be better for me, and for that I am truly blessed. I have been blessed with much better health, a successful website, a very nice promotion, a new Ford Explorer, vacation to Hollywood, and the list goes on. It's nice to have rid myself of those persons who dwell and live on negativity all of the time.

With good healthy positive people surrounding me now, I couldn't be in a better place. Thanks to all of you who have made such an impact on my life. The rest of 09 is going to be a smash hit, and 2010 will be even better!

COONEY'S THOUGHTS

It's all about the positive. The world as we know it is littered with negative haters out there. With that said, there are also a ton of great people out there as well. Do what I did, I erased all of those who have tried to create a negative impact on my life, and replaced them with good positive people. What a difference it has made.
