And just like that.....

I know I am!!! I have been on edge during this lockout!! Had me over thinking there wasn't going to be a season this year! The hell is wrong with people? Lucky for the NFL they worked out their differences and there will be football! So thanks to my beloved friend Branden I think that I start doing some weekly posts about the games I get to watch (and maybe those I didn't get to watch.) After I do some more research and I will express some of feelings on all the trades that have been made. I'm still just excited about the season starting!

Yesterday on my way to work my mother was listening to NPR on the radio. I usually don't have a problem with NPR but yesterday's topic worked every nerve in my entire body. No, they weren't talking about the debt crisis, or public education, or the war, or the economy, or any of the other millions of issues America is facing right now...they were discussing Marc Anthony and JLo getting divorced! o__O Say What?!?!?! Yes, ladies and gentlemen the topic was the divorce of an entertainment couple! I have always wondered why the world makes these personal/private issues their business! Now, I understand that once you move into that realm a majority of your life becomes public (a reason why I don't think I could ever be about that life!) If JLO and Anthony decided amongst the two of them that marriage was not working for them then that should be between them. The women on the radio were first in shock that they even decided to get divorced (which is funny given the divorce ra...

That's the clever saying expressing how worlds apart men and women are. Now I'm not about to sit here and pretend that women are confusing. Because damn it we are! We're emotional, moody, sensitive, and a slue of other things. I can admit that. I have caught myself on numerous occasions over-thinking and over-analyzing EVERYTHING about life. Only to realize that I have done nothing but make myself nauseous. With all of that being said men KILL ME acting as if they are not complicated. Really? Really though? BUT Really though?? Let's be real. You all are just as confused, if not more so at times , than us! Here is what I mean...you all will go through chutes and ladders, rings of fire, moats, and other dangerous adventures just to get in contact with a female. Once contact has been made and mutual interest has been established you just....poof! Disa-freaking-ppear!! Now I'm patient and understand life happens! I mean I live it..ya dig?! But don't get my hopes al...

Any one who knows anything about the history of The University of Michigan understands the meaning of that quote. Bo Schembechler will is cemented in football tradition at The University of Michigan, as the winningest coach in Michigan history. He coached thousands of players while at Michigan so it didn't seem possible that he would remember one specific player and this is where my memory begins... Bo hasn't been coaching for a while but he was still very present on Michigan's campus. I as granted the opportunity to work with the recruitment staff. During this time I was introduced to this great man personally. I sat in his office in total awe! Not only because of his accomplishments but because he remembered who my father was. As soon as Bo heard my last name he was thrown into memories of my father and couldn't stop telling me how wonderful my father was. I will never forget that moment. I just wish I told him my hopes of becoming a coach. I would have loved to hear ...

Tonight I watched Capitalism: A Love Story. Any time I watch a Michael Moore story I am always submerged into deep thought. I'm not really into politics but I am trying to make myself more aware of the decisions other people are making for me. I think that in today's world people need to take initiative about these things. I have learned that waiting for someone else to take of it will leave you worse off than when you started. Yes, Michael Moore is a little one-sided but I commend him for his bravery! He says/does some outlandish things (i.e. driving an armored truck up to all the big banks and demanding our money back from the bailout!) At least he is giving us another side to the "whole story." Unfortunately I don't really have much to say about it. I feel that no matter what I say won't really do the movie justice. Everyone should go check it out. It's on Netflix that's how I saw it! My last thought from watching it is that: All the teachers, polic...

By now you have ALL heard the term Swag! Or maybe be one of those people that use it! I'm not here to 'hate' on anyone's vocabulary..we all know how horrible that would be! But honestly what does swag exactly mean? Why is necessary to even use? Urban dictionary provides this wonderful definition: Swag: The way in which you carry yourself. Swag is made up of your overall confidence, style, and demeanor. Swag can also be expanded to be the reputation of your overall swagger. You gain swag, or "Swag up", by performing swag worthy actions that improve this perception. A person can also "swag down," by being an overall pussy and garnering negative swag for their actions. Swag is a subtle thing that many strive to gain but few actually attain. It is reserved for the most swagalicious of people. Swag can also be quantified, with point systems existing in some circles of friends. Along with these examples: "I got with two girls last night" "Aw...

What is happening in the world of entertainment? It seems like everyone as just let loose and flipped their lids! Lupe is off calling the president a terrorist, we all know about Chris Brown, Amy Whinehouse broke out of rehab, Wiz has blond hair, pretty sure I heard Diddy changed his name to swag or something stupid like that, Charlie Sheen has Tiger blood and Adonis DNA (-__-), and I'm sure there are plenty more that I can't think of right now! Just someone tell me why this OK! I mean if I went on national television spouting that Obama was a terrorist, with blond hair, talking about Tiger blood I would have been hauled off by Secret Service and later handed over to Intervention. Why is it fine for entertainers to be completely off their rockers and not me?! Don't get me wrong I like not be a cra cra (shout out to my bestie for that term!) But shouldn't we all be held to the same standards? There has to be someone to put them in their place so to speak! Cause I know if...
