Detroit Redwings Game Against the Florida Panthers

For the first time in a long time I was able to watch a full Redwings hockey game, I wasn't able to before because I was either sleeping for my midnight shift, at work, or at hockey. I was impressed with the Redwings effort and the style of play that they showed even though they lost. There defense wasn't impressive, they were bailed out a lot by Petr Mrazek which is probably my favorite between him and Jimmy Howard. The Redwings did have some amazing scoring opportunities but unfortunately weren't able to capitalize. There looking good, but they need more work on there defense.

Detroit Lions Playoff Contenders?

The Detroit Lions have made a dramatic turn around from being 1-7. They fired basically everyone in the coaching staff, and ever since they did that they have not lost a game and they are sitting at 4-7 and looking extremely good. The win streak all started with the Green Bay Packers, they came into Lambeau under new management and wasn't even expected to come close to beating them and they did it. The Lions are looking good, and I do believe they can win the rest of season but a lot of things have to happen for the Lions to make the playoffs.

First Semester of College Winding Down

Coming out of thanksgiving break it's hard to imagine for me to think that not only that fact that I started college but that my first semester is coming to an end and I already got to be thinking about more into my college career. College is kind of what I expected it to be, I have learned the do's and don't s while being in college. Some don't s I have learned along the way is not to be holding homework back and doing all in one day before the due date. It causes headaches and stress. Another thing is to study for test and exams. I got away with it in high school because the tests were easy but that doesn't fly in college.

What I'm Thankful For

Sitting at the dinner table with my family for Thanksgiving dinner I realized how lucky I am to have such a caring and a great family that I have around me. Not everyone can say that and that's unfortunate for the ones who can't enjoy the feeling of being with their family, and having everyone around you care and comfort you. I come from a family with great cooking and that's another thing that is so great about Thanksgiving with my family, they are great to be around with and the food on my plate is delicious and so enjoyable to eat.  

Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving break consisted of sleeping, work, and more sleeping. I was finally able to catch up on sleep, and everything was going great until the last couple days of my break. I pushed all my homework back until the last couple days, and I became sick during my last days of break which is making it harder to get motivation to do all my homework. Some positives of my break was I got lots of sleep, ate a lot of food, got to spend time with family, and watched the Detroit Lions kick ass and watched the Packers loose. Some negatives, I got sick, had to work midnight shifts at work while being sick, threw up at hockey, and all this homework.

Last Time I was Afraid

It was a year ago and I was downstate in Detroit to watch a Detroit Lions game against the Tampa Bucceneers, and then the Detroit Redwings when they played the New York Rangers. Between the two games that I went to it turned out great, both teams won. But it was the ride home that gave me a little scare. We were on our way to Birch Run and not even 5 minutes out of Detroit our navigation system directed us off the free way. We listened to it even though I thought we shouldn't because I could tell the direction that we were going was to a sketchy neighbor hood. Torn down houses were every where, fenced in areas, and it didn't seem like there were people even here. The navigation system took us down farther and for some reason my parents still listened to it. The farther we kept going the scarier it got, people on the side of the streets just staring us down and the houses were even more a banded then the ones then the ones that we saw off the free way. It got even better when the navigation system said that we have reached our destination and we were looking at a dead end and more people just staring. At that moment we were lost and afraid and we didn't dare to walk outside and ask for direction. Eventually our navigator got us out and brought us to the real Birch Run. 

Friday Night

I'm sure a lot of you guys spent your Friday Night at the Berry Events Center watching the Northern Michigan Vs. Michigan Tech Hockey game. I was watching the game but I was at work and I became extremely jealous when I found out that the old timer from the Detroit Redwings Micky Redmond was at the game. So  I started out my Friday finally getting sleep. I got a good 12 hours of sleep and slept in till 1:00PM I then did a little bit of homework and then went to work at 3:30 PM. Needless to say that I didn't get much homework done and these blogs were the only assignments that I have gotten done.
