I haven’t done a “blog” thingy since August 16,2010. Last entry I did was complain about the tigers not playing well during the second half of the season after the all star break, Michigan’s product with Richard, and of course the LOLions problems at defense. But I’m not gonna talk about sports here cause something has been on my heart for a while and it kinda sparked a flame during the new years party I was at.

I don’t force God on you guys at all. I just think talking about it a lot turns people away. You know what I believe and if you have a question about it ask away if not cool. If your not a Christian at all and don’t like God then it’s all good to, I still love yea. I hope me writing this makes you think about stuff so here it goes...

I’ve been attending Troy Baptist/Woodside for pretty much half of my life since Easter of 95. I can’t imagine where I would be if it wasn’t for this church and the people there. A few people that have impacted my life. 1 - DAD, 2 - OPA, 3 - Pastor Schmidt, 4 - Cliff Johnson, and 5 - Marc Davidson. I could name a couple more but I don’t wanna do that. These men show me how to live as a man of God. I really can’t thank them enough for what they have taught me about different things in my walk. Few thoughts here...

My ughhhh to God: I somewhat said on nye via twitter how I felt about 2013. I kinda went on a little tweet blitz but it’s just being honest. I really hate being single to be honest with yea. I’m really miserable being a single 31 year old loser. I don’t know why I consider myself as a loser but I do. It’s the top struggle in my life. I’m sure most single guys out there are going thru the same stuff but your not 31. Not gonna lie it’s jealous seeing your friends get married and are having kids. It really does suck trusting God in this. I know he’s got a plan for me in it but I don’t know what it is. I ask God the question why not me ? It sucks guys. I get restless nights thinking these things. I’m sure it’s Satan putting thoughts in my head. I see people like really he’s getting married while I’m being ugh. It’s hard sorry. 

Praising God: I’m very thankful to be apart of a great family. It’s humbling to have great parents and grandparents. My friends mean a lot to me. I really hope I’m not annoying with hey text’s or yooooo text’s but I really care about you guys. It’s awesome to have such a good group of friends. 
Also I’m very thankful that I go to a church that’s beyond words I can’t say. Woodside is an amazing church. If you don’t have a church home go check out Woodside. They have many campus’ around here and go check it out. I’ve been praying for the last 3 or so years now that there would be a church in Detroit that maybe I could attend. I love this city and to see it go to God would be so great. 
So when Cliff told me last July about it I was so on board. It was pretty much time for me to move on from Lighthouse in what I was doing with that, it was just perfect timing. 
There’s a song that Kristian Stanfill sings it’s called I’m Not Ashamed, it’s a really fast paced song to sing. Anyways at the end after the drummer crashes the keyboard just plays softly to a second bridge. Whenever I hear it I think about Detroit. It says the following.

We'll be that city on a hill 
Burning brightly
We'll be a light to the world
Shining Your Glory

When I first heard it I thought about Detroit right away. Yea I’m not a fan of their city council or their leaders, actually they have been a complete embarrassment but you gotta pray for em. My prayer for this city is that we will be that light to the city. I really think we are slowly but surely. Seeing Detroit go to God man it’s gonna be something. Just singing that man gives yea chills thinking about it. We’ll be that city on the hill burning brightly, We’ll be a light to the world shining Your Glory whew. Just hearing stuff about what’s going on in the city is awesome. 
I know some of you from out of town have never been to Detroit. Yea there are some bad parts in this city, but there’s bad parts in Chicago, LA, NYC, Miami, Minneapolis, anywhere pretty much. There’s a thing called common sense. Just gotta be careful wherever you go. I just wanna challenge some of you who don’t come here. Come enjoy the city. Just don't bash the city cause you never visit. Come then judge for yourself. Hanging out down there is awesome. Watching the tigers, then eating out at a local establishment is great. 

If you have any thoughts or opinions you know where to find me. Love you all.... c

ehhhh boy

So Crabb told me to do a blog entry last night so here it is. Havent done this since Feb so its a lil rusty ha. Gonna hit on a different amount of subjects in this. Im gonna try to not make this long. Writing this listenin to some good ol cathedral ' s tunes and some Ernie.
First subject - LIFE: Life is ok I guess. Summer has been glorious since the rents have been gone for 97.1 percent of the time. So coming home from work and just relaxin in bed to sigur ros has been pretty good not gonna lie. Work has been crazy especially the last couple weeks but I cant complain.

Second - TIGERS: I knew the tigs were not gonna make the playoffs this year so them not making it this yr isnt no surprise. I knew there pitching was suspect especially there starters. Bullpen I thought they would be better with zoom zoom coming back healthy. Coke a good lefty who I didnt think be good but he changed my mind on him. Miggy is understanably one of the two or three best hitters in all of baseball o and hes younger then me ha. Such a good player wow. Anyways im done with Leyland and his non sense. Heres the record in the second half since hes been the skip 06: 36 - 38, 07: 36 - 40, 08: 27 - 41, 09: 38 - 38. Thats 30 games under .500 in four years pretty bad. We cant play in the second half at all under the marlboro man. Need some fresh blood in there to get things goin. DUMBrowski im still iffy on. I might give him one more year. But our farm system couldn ' t be more awful.

Third - LIONS : I said couple weeks ago 9 - 7 and be one of the wild card teams in the playoffs. Butter was aflowing that day. Prolly off kinda got carried away with there improvements a little bit. Secondary is a eh and our lb ' s besides the pain train. So will see what happens this yr. If its less then 5 wins kinda be a lil dissappointed. Stafford will be a better qb with Nate comin in from Seattle. Plus hopefully best doesnt get hurt from gettin a love tap on the shoulder.

Fourth - PISTONS: T Mac signing for a mill wasnt bad. Cant hurt to sign him for a year. Just wish we get rid of rip or tay or both of em. I know not to many people care about the pistons which is sad. I hope Mr. I buys the team but leaves em in a hills cause the palace is one of the best places in the nba for basketball. Even thou its 20 years old its still a good building.

Lastly Fifth the state of athletics at a school in Ann Arbor the best school in the state
THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHHHHHIGAN.
As most people know I cant stand Richard Rod. Hes a liar and a cheat. Im not a fan of either of those at all. I am all for running a good and clean program. Obviously Richard doesnt know how to do that. Seeing that he did the same stuff here at West Virginia. They will go 6 - 6 this yr, start the year off 0 - 2. U CONN is no slutch this year. They got a good chance in winning the BIG EAST. Notre Dame im not sure but its at Notre Dame and with our 3 - 3 - 5 defense (grrr) who knows what will happen. Prolly play at the bowl game at Ford Field vs Temple the MAC champ.

I will try to do this more then every 6 months. Peace out.....

Dissappointed

Tonight I talked to a friend who told me some real interesting stuff. And to be honest I was really taken aback about what was said. As most of you know I say things how I feel. I dont hold stuff inside me at all. The stuff I say to people when I talk to them in person or when I write on facebook or twitter is how I feel. If you dont like it thats why there is a thing called defriend and not be a friend on there or follow. And yes sometimes its venting. With whats going on in Ann Arbor with the athletic department I am not happy at all. I refuse to say all things are rosey when its not. I hate to lose. Especially if its the teams I love. Pretty much Detroit/Michigan sports besides anything Michigan State.

If people think I'm to negative on life there just plain old wrong. First thing I have a great family who I love a lot. Second I got friends who mean a lot to me that are just plain awesome. Third I work for a company that I like working for. Chase is a great place to work and the people I work with are awesome. I rather be working then be in the 11 percent of unemployed doing nothing.

I love sports a lot. People love movies, snowboarding, wakeboarding, reading, music, and other fun activities. Personally I rather watch a great college basketball game for 2 hrs then sit and watch a movie I am not interested in at all. Or in the summer time catch a game at the copa and see the tigs play. That's just who I am. I have never been a big movie guy at all and never will.

And lastly this is all I will say. I would hope in the future that if anybody has a problem with me they would come and talk to me about it 1 on 1. Instead of having someone else do the talking for them. This just bothers me the most. I am really disappointed that people havent done that. Were all alduts here. Tonight really bothered and dissappointed me in some people.

Thanks and you all have a great day tomorrow. c

Stuff Since February

Well it ' s shortly after 12:30 in the mourning and I thought what the heck write a lil somethin about my thoughts on some issues regarding whats going on in this wonderful area I call home.
Church has been awesome as always. Still love my friends which is good. So here it goes on some issues.
First the Tigers - Told yea about getting Halladay. Washburn has looked BRUTAL !! I realize Porcello and Perry are gonna be good but if you get a chance to get a top 5 pitcher in the big leagues you do it. I dont get it you traded away Maybin and Miller for Miggy and Willis, look it how that turned out. Besides getting mr anxiety disorder that turned out to be a great trade. Miggy is a top 10, 15 player in the league. But if I was Dombrowski, I would of told Toronto where do I sign ? Washburn hasnt been that good for us. Real shaky first start against a terrible Baltimore club. Then barley getting through Minnesota. Call me nuts but with Miggy out and Huff cleared waivers should try to get him. Also Bronson Arroyo cleared waivers to from Cincy. Hes had a rough year down in Cincy but hes got a good arm. Tigers are the worst first place team in the big leagues. Been sayin that for over a month now. O and also I dont care if Mags is batting .750, get him and his 16 million dollars out of here.
Second the pistons - I am happy that they signed Ben and Charlie BUT however they still havent traded away Rip and Tay. YOU NEED TO DO SO !!! If I was gm for a day I would of gotten rid of a lot of people. Plus right now your starting center is either Kwame Brown or Ben Wallace, eeesh you gotta be kidding. Should of tanked it this year gotten a good draft pick, but whatever. I like the cavs pick up of Shaq, but Sheed going to Boston whew gonna be a good eastern conf finals.
Third the MICHHHHHHIGANNNN wolverines football program - From the get go I have said there gonna be a 6 - 6 football team this year. I am sticking to that. If we beat nd we will go 7 - 5 thats the only game I really dont know what will happen. If we dont make it to a bowl game Rich Rod needs to go bye bye. Your Michigan not Indiana. His first year here I was not impressed. Im just glad we got a d cord thou who knows what he ' s doing. Last yr was just wow bad.
Fourth Michigan Basketball - I am soooo looking forword to the basketball season this year. Got some amazing non conference games with at Kansas and U Conn coming to Ann Arbor in January. Got some great freshman coming in, plus with the improvment of Zach and Stu. I dont wanna get myself super hyped about it but its close.

Thanks for reading this. I know im a lil wierd with my opinions but thats just how I feel. Have a good one......
