The 44-year-old ex-heavyweight champion is in bed by 8 and often up as early as 2 in the morning, at which point he takes a solitary walk around the gated compound in the Las Vegas suburb where he lives while listening to R&B on his iPod. Tyson then occupies himself with reading (he’s an avid student of history, philosophy and psychology), watching karate movies or taking care of his homing pigeons, who live in a coop in the garage…As part of his cleaning-up campaign, he has been adhering to a strict vegan diet for nearly two years, explaining that he doesn’t want anything in him “that’s going to enrage me — no processed food, no meat.” He says that he can no longer abide the smell of meat even on someone’s breath…If Tyson misses his high-rolling days, he isn’t letting on: “If you make a lot of money, you end up being around people you don’t want to be around,” he says. “Guys on allowance. It takes years to gather the audacity to get rid of them.” [NYT]

I was invited into the boss’s office for a “discussion” this morning and truth be known, what Mike Tyson said just made a whole lot more sense than what my boss said.

Wow, I didn’t know he was so broke he couldn’t afford to have a cell phone.
Waking up at 4:30 or 5:00 AM suggests you have self-discipline and ambition; waking up at 2:00 AM suggests you have a drug problem or an enlarged prostate.
Presumably, you become more aware/wise to your surroundings/diet when you bite someones ear off.

One of the hardest hitting boxers of all time and he can’t get ride of a cash-sucking posse. No wonder he is home with pigeons. Bird food is cheap!

If he learns to turn the lights on, he can stay up later than 8:00.
