The NBA Playoffs

The time has come once again for the Playoffs and I'm hoping that the Pistons make up for their collapse last season. Overall, the Eastern conference is weak. It's obvious that the NBA champions will be coming out of the west this year. It's hard for me to say because I am a huge Detroit Piston fan. I do believe that the Pistons are the best team in the east, and I think they will make the NBA finals. I pray that they win it all but going up against either Dallas, Phoenix, or San Antonio will be a hard task to complete.

Tragedy at Virginia Tech

Yesterday, I alongside the rest of America was shocked at what happened at Virginia Tech. This is proof that no one is safe from violence of any kind. Cho Seung-Hui killed 33 students and faculty and to be honest, it has got me on edge. I say that because if you aren't safe at school, then where is a place that can be considered safe. I'm appalled, saddened, and shocked that anyone could commit such crimes. This is deadliest shooting in American history, and April 16, 2007 will be a day that the United States will never forget. God bless each person that was murdered and their families.

Some of the Family

Above is a photo of 4 of my 9 nieces and nephews. To the left is 11 year old Jayelo, 11 year old Jackie is in the middle, and 12 year old Carriese is to the right. Each of them are very intelligent individuals and each has a bright future ahead of them. They will not get caught up in the bad shit that goes on in Detroit. I know that I'm a positive influence on them and I'll do anything I can for them as well. All I ask in return is for them to finish school and do something positive with their lives. The little one is 8 month old Davion. He's a bad baby, but I wouldn't change nothing about him because he's one very enchanting and lively child. I love them all to death.

The Stanley Cup Playoffs

I along with everyone in Detroit hopes that the Red Wings won't get put out of the playoffs early. It's been going on for a few years now but I think this year will be different. This year they seem much more physical and their goaltending is far superior than what they had last year. Dominik Hasek is old, but he has proven himself throughout his career. Additionally, they are simply better than Calgary. They should put them out in 5 to 6 games. I feel that the only team that can pose a threat to Detroit is San Jose and/or Vancouver. The Red Wings are prepared this year, they better not let me down.

Getting it Together

I can't believe that I have not gotten my photo essay done yet. It is most definitely not my fault. My assignment was suppose to have been done but, the idiots at CVS screwed up my photos, and Rite Aid hasn't received my other photos yet. Why can't I catch a break? I hope to have it together by Thursday, and I really hope it comes out right. I hope I can get my point across with this assignment as I took a bit of a different path.

Wrestlemania---An Unforgettable Night

Sunday night, I had one of the best times in my life at Wrestlemania 23. There were 80, 000 plus fans in Ford Field and the atmosphere was amazing. I have never seen so many people in my life. Vince McMahon's head was shaved bald as you can see, but there were many other astounding moments as well. Seeing the Undertaker's win streak continue was the best moment. I feel bad for those who didn't get a chance to experience Wrestlemania live. It was truly a night to remember.

Detroit Tigers

I'm really interested in seeing how the Tigers will handle the pressure of being favorites to win the World Series. They caught everyone by surprise last year, but can they keep winning. They do have a better team on paper with the additions of Gary Sheffield, but will it pan out to better or even success? I sure hope so because I never got into baseball until last year, and I am not ready to get out of not enjoying the Detroit Tigers.
