Life is...good

So i just recently got confirmation that i will be able to cover the Arizona State football games this year which is HUGE for me and I'm blessed to have the opportunity.

On another i took a family outing to the Diamondbacks game last night here are some pics from my great seats. Oh yeah Dbacks lost 4-3 lol.

Egg on my face.

Ok so as much as I hate to admit it, I was wrong, it seems as if Brett Favre will stay retired. Or will he? Whose to say he wont give the Vikings a call tonight and tell them to get that #4 jersey ready, It's not like the guy hasn't changed his mind before. But as for now the joke's on me thanks Brett.

Oh yeah, Mike Vick back in the NFL, or at least he's allowed to play. He's got to find a team first. After spending 23 months in jail and 2 years out of the league Vick has a long road ahead of him before he touches the field again.

I just wanna be successful.

I talked a fellow employee of mine today, a gentleman in his mid 60's. He has worked at Officemax for 20 years... I began to think, " wow he has spent over a quarter of his lifetime working in this store." Everyone knows the saying "you only live once" and i began to think what if that was me? Now I can not judge the man, I'm sure that he is more than happy and content with his life, but it made me realize that I...want more than that for my lifetime.

So as i slowly made my way through another day at the Max, i began to ask myself. How? How will I be able to look back on my lifetime and smile with satisfaction? Theoretically speaking, anyone determined enough can go to school and get a degree, but I wanted to know how I can go beyond that. I believe i found away to go beyond just obtaining that piece of paper. A simple quote that read "Take pride in everything you do." Meaning no matter what it is you do, you should do it to the best of your ability. If you flip burgers, then you should aim to be the best burger flipper the world has ever seen. If you do that then, that extra determination will push you farther than any degree ever could.

I have big, and i mean big dreams for myself. I don't wanna be famous for the money and the luxury, I just want to be remembered as a person who gave his all at what he did. A person who made a difference...


Goodnight.

The light at the end of the tunnel!

Ok so I am extremely excited for the end of July. Why you might ask? Because that is the beginning of NFL training camps! LOL I mean I love baseball as much as the next guy, but when June 14th marked the end of the NBA season, I suddenly came to a chilling conclusion...that i would be stuck with nothing but baseball highlights on sportscenter every night. I mean sure there's soccer but last time I checked i still did live in America (sorry soccer fans)...But now football is back! I know I know I have months of training camps and preseason football to live through first, but football is football and I'm just glad its back!

Oh and by the way YES Lebron James got dunked ok, we get it. I you see the video you cant even understand what is happening the quality is so bad, Nike/ESPN really made this a bigger deal than it had to be.

Happy Birthday

On July 13 7:54 the new addition to the family arrived, my little niece Elena and only three days old is already taking command of the house.

Here we go again..

This seems like Deja Vu, weren't we in the same place this time last year with QB legend Brett Favre? Is he coming back? SHOULD he come back? Here are my thoughts...

First off, Farve is coming back. He recently announced that he will make his official decision within 30 days, but it's clear to me that Brett has had his mind made up for quite sometime now. Why else would he have gotten the bicep surgery, and continuing his rehab and workouts. Because, he still wants to play that's why. So the question now is CAN he play? Favre is 39 years old and is coming off, arguably, the worst year of his career. However, for the Minnesota Vikings, there is no doubt that there is no better quarterback available for their franchise. So you know Farve is coming back, but will he be successful? only time will tell, as for me ill put my money on him. The Vikings have an above average defense, big threats on the outside with receivers Berrian and Harvin, oh yeah and some guy by the name of Adrian Peterson Favre may be the missing piece the Vikes need. But the number one reason why I'm putting my money on a 39 year-old? Because...he's Brett Favre.

Another one gone...

R.I.P. Steve McNair- One of the toughest QBs to play the game.

Man these past few weeks have been crazy in the celebrity world, just goes to show tomorrow's never promised.
