FAITH, FAMILY and BASKETBALL

So I am going to get a little mushy on everyone that follows this blog. If you have known me for any length of time it is possible that I have come across arrogant or selfish. Some of you will know me as caring and compassionate. Honestly it doesn't really matter how you view a person as long as they hold strong to there beliefs. Family has always been a real strong focus in my life. Tonight I watched a different kind of family come together. If you haven't seen this story you should check it out. A young man in Michigan collapsed on the floor after hitting the game winning shot in the last game of the basketball season. Sad moment, the young mans heart simply gave out. These times are the ones that try a persons soul. What is impressive about the situation is the how the family, not the immediate, but the high school basketball family rallied to support the team. Sports is an amazing thing, I feel sorry for people who were not athletes and will never understand the camaraderie that comes with it. This evening the team that lost there star player celebrated his life by continuing to play. It wasn't for greed or self indulged hype, but for the love of the game. To celebrate a fallen brother and friend. It doesn't matter how you view life but remember one simple thing, family is the tie that binds and will be there in the most difficult of times. My hope is that all of you take the time to read this story and that it gives perspective.

Is this what successful people do?

As I ponder my first blog post, ever. I wonder why anyone in there right mind would want to read a post from a small town kid pretending to be a big city guy. The purpose of my weekly blog, yes weekly I am not cool enough or savvy enough to keep up with it on a daily basis. Although if someone would like to pay me to do so I would be more then welcome to never get out of my PJ's. This blog will not be random because for a guy like me to write random things would be like handing a firearm to a child VERY BAD IDEA. So I am going to keep it to what I love: Sports, Entertainment and Business. I live, like many of you, in a world where I am sure I have evolved from someone I use to be to what I am now. A world where we may not have NFL Football, Johny Depp can be as entertaining as a cartoon as he is in real life and where Google wipe there ass and rearrange the entire global economy.

I will do my best to not piss anyone off, who am I kidding, I will probably piss off a lot of people. Look Charlie Sheen is crazy as well as a drug addict and lover of porn stars. But, who are we kidding the guy has a point. Why not embrace whatever it is that you think you are. #winner Being a catalyst of any conversation means you need to be willing to risk it all. #agreed So here we stand the first blog post of a small town kid. Wonder what happens next.....
