On the eve of June 2nd 2003 Stephenie Meyer was dreaming of "two people having an intense conversation in a meadow in the woods. One of these people was just your average girl. The other person was fantastically beautiful, sparkly, and a vampire"- quoted from her website www.StephenieMeyer.

Stephenie was so excited that she began writing what she had envisioned in her mind. Since that day on, she did not spend one day not writing her story. It is funny how sometimes things pop in our heads and many of us pay no attention to them, while others will take that vision and run with it until. In Stephenie's Bio you will find that she is an ordinary Mother and Wife. A woman that has known her husband since they were four years of age, a woman that is strong in her faith and surrounded by good people.
Attending BYU she majored in English with a concentration in literature. In her Bio she say "I heard many lame jokes about English majors' future careers in the food services industries, and to all the people who made those jokes, I now say, "Ha, ha" (to be heard in the voice of Nelson Muntz)."

EliteXC Pulling out all their tricks to leave a lasting impression to save the struggling company.
Saturday night was one of those nights that seemed weird from the start.
Kimbo vs. Ken Shamrock, a pioneering legend in MMA who also happens to be 44 years old and without a victory in over four years. You begin to think that it is time that Kimbo starts to face the cream of the crop. Instead an old Shamrock is scheduled and then is removed from the card to be replaced by a new comer Seth Petruzelli, that they made sure to call the modern day "Rocky Balboa" before the start of the match that was scheduled 40 min before the original Kimbo Shamrock match.
We have all seen Kimbo Slice take hit after hit after hit and not even flinch, but on Saturday night he is technically knocked out only 14 sec. in to the match by a much smaller Karate fighter with only a very small right fist to Kimbo's face as the so called Rocky Balboa is falling away from the attacking Kimbo Slice. Apparently this fist packed enough power to put Kimbo Slice on the ground to end the fight as the Referee rushed to save the stunned Slice from any more small right fist. Awarding Seth Petruzelli with a TKO, Kimbo seemed to not be to upset that he has just lost his first professional match as the most famous fighter in the United States of America.
It seems to obvious that a struggling EliteXC could have pulled a fast one. Staging probably the greatest promotional campaign in sports history to assure greater ratings for the upcoming soon to be most talked about fights of late this year or early next. Could this be a rematch! or a definite hyped fight "Kimbo vs. Shamrock and Seth Petruzelli vs. who ever they can bring in to establish him as the other face of EliteXC MMA Fighting.
Kimbo Slice AKA Kevin Ferguson was a star defensive football player for Miami Palmetto High School in the Pinecrest area of Miami, Florida. In college, he went on to the University of Miami on academic scholarship, but did not play football. He was there for only a year and a half.
