Freddie Roach (born March 5, 1960 in Dedham, MA) is a boxing trainer and a former boxer. Roach is one of the
most well-known boxing trainers in the world, having been voted Trainer of the Year by the Boxing Writers Association of America in 2003, 2006 and 2008. He is currently the trainer of pound for pound champion Manny Pacquiao, WBA light-welterweight champion Amir Khan, and Cuban boxing star Guillermo Rigondeaux.Boxing Trainer
Roach is the owner of the Wild Card Boxing Club/Gym in Los Angeles, and is currently one of the most popular trainers in boxing. Mickey Rourke, when he turned to boxing mid-way through his acting career, hired Roach to train him in Hollywood, CA. When Rourke decided to quit boxing, he gave gym equipment to Roach, and it can be found in the Wildcard to this day.
Roach's prized ward is junior welterweight world champion Manny Pacquiao. Roach once trained Oscar De La Hoya for his May 5, 2007 superfight against Floyd Mayweather, Jr..
He is currently training the mixed martial artist (MMA), former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski and was one of his primary trainers for Arlovski's victory over Ben Rothwell on July 19 at Affliction's inaugural show. He has also trained MMA fighter Dan Hardy for his fight with Marcus Davis at UFC 99.
He received mixed criticism from the MMA community after commenting on current WAMMA Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko's boxing skills. He claimed that Fedor would be "killed" by his client Andrei Arlovski during their fight at Affliction: Day of Reckoning, should the champion remain standing. On January 24, Fedor knocked out Arlovski with an overhand right in the first round. Roach later criticized Fedor in saying "he just got lucky, I think."
He is also the current trainer for British Boxer Amir Khan, who became the WBA light welterweight World Champion on 18 July 2009, under Roach's tutelage.
Parkinson's disease
Roach suffers from Parkinson's disease due to repeated blows to the head received during his boxing career. Roach severed a training relationship with Wayne McCullough due to McCullough's insistence on continuing to fight despite a cyst on his brain. Roach also suffers from Dystonia.

Gospel for the day

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 18:35-43.
Now as he approached Jericho a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging, and hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what was happening. They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by." He shouted, "Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!"The people walking in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent, but he kept calling out all the more, "Son of David, have pity on me!" Then Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to him; and when he came near, Jesus asked him, What do you want me to do for you? He replied, "Lord, please let me see." Jesus told him, "Have sight; your faith has saved you." He immediately received his sight and followed him, giving glory to God. When they saw this, all the people gave praise to God.

ennui • \ahn-WEE\ • noun
: a feeling of weariness and dissatisfaction : boredom
Example Sentence:
In reaction to the ennui that he was feeling after working for twelve years in an unchallenging position, Darrell began to look for a new career.
Did you know?
The French loanword "ennui" comes from the very same Late Latin word that gave us "annoy" -- "inodiare" ("to make loathsome"). We borrowed "ennui" several centuries after absorbing "annoy" into the language. "Ennui" deals more with boredom than irritation -- and a somewhat specific sort of boredom at that. It generally refers to the feeling of jadedness that can result from living a life of too much ease. The poet Charles Lloyd described it well in his 1823 "Stanzas to Ennui" when he referred to that world-weary sensation as a "soul-destroying fiend" which visits with its "pale unrest / The chambers of the human breast / Where too much happiness hath fixed its home."

10 Ways to feel happy
1. Take a bath
Suds up, baby. This is the first place I turn when I get grumpy.
It’s much, much harder to stay grumpy in a bathtub surrounded by bubbles, with lavendar oil scenting the air.
2. Eat some greens
This sounds so mum-ish, I know. But there is a HUGE difference in my mood after I’ve eaten a handful of fresh snowpeas, or made my favourite green smoothie.
Try it, and tell me it doesn’t suck for you.
My favourite green smoothie recipe?
A banana, a handful of frozen berries, half a cup of water, a couple of dates or a splash of honey and a handful of spinach leaves. It ends up red, but it has the green goodness inside. This smoothie is happiness in a cup.
3. Go outside for just five minutes
Watch the sky. Feel the breeze. Dig your toes in the soil. Watch birds.
Trust me - this works! Mama Earth really IS the best healer for us.
4. Read a page from an inspiring book
My go-to is always SARK - especially Transformation Soup. Maybe your inspiring book is the Bhagavad Gita, the Bible or MAD magazine. Others on my hit-list of inspiration are Sabrina Ward Harrison and Louise Ha.
5. Change what you are doing
It doesn’t have to be change the world change or anything. Change how you are sitting. Stop reading blogs. Change your hairstyle. Turn the TV on or off. Change shoes. Move your chair around. Declutter what’s around you within a one metre radius. Give yourself a little face rub. Do eight deep breaths. Hum. It doesn’t matter WHAT that change is… just change your state of being, so you feel less stagnant and stuck.
Just a little bit of change can make some shifts.
6. Listen to something beautiful
It might be Olivia Newton John’s “Grace and Gratitude.” Maybe it’s one of Fabeku’s free sacred sound healing downloads. Maybe it’s an all-out sing-fest to “Total Eclipse of the Heart”.
It doesn’t matter. Sound is healing, and can change our mood like that.
7. Hug something
Yourself. A tree. A loved one. A puppy dog. Hugs are miracles.
8. Do something ridiculous and silly
Dance by yourself. Declare the rest of the day “Pants-Free Friday” even if it’s a Monday. Prance outside barefoot. Watch the most stupidly funny videos on YouTube. Watch a comedy. It doesn’t matter. As long as you are guffawing, it’s a good thing.
9. Reach out and give love
Whenever I’m feeling grumpy and in lack, I remember to do something nice for someone else. It feels like once I do that, the grumpy barriers break away, and the love of the world floods back to me again.
Try it. Tell a friend why you love them. Let a stranger know their hat looks good on them. Give something. Email someone you admire and tell them why you are grateful for them, and why your world is better for them being in it.
10. Make art
Get paint on your fingers and smear it. Journal for a page about fairies. Make a wax angel. Collage words from the newspaper into a poem. Just make the teeniest, tiniest little bit of art possible. Because you can, and because you are magic. It will make you feel good.
