I remember many times going to Tigers games when Dan and I were kids.  Dan and I were huge baseball collectors and card collectors at the time so we knew everyone on the tigers in the Late 80's and early 90's.

Some of our favorites were people like Alan Trammell, Paul Gibson,Lou Whitaker,
Chet Lemon, Travis Fryman and Cecil Fielder.

Cecil Fielder was my absolute favorite because there was some hype about him breaking Babe Ruth's home run record.  He did accomplish that and I felt like I knew a star athlete and I was also happy because all of his cards went up in value.

After 1990, many people out did him, but I feel that they did it with drug enhancing help.

I really appreciate my parents being able to take us to the ball game.

I loved the ambiance.  I remember having my parents buy me this huge cardboard tiger arm that we would could use.  There is just something about a ball game that really defines America.

My children will also be going to lots of Tigers . . . Read More..

So one night I had yet another Lavalife girl that I was dating.  This girl was cool, her name was Susan... but she liked to be called Sue.  She was pretty manly and her chin reminded me of Kenny Martin, a guy I grew up with. 

She was kind of older and that night we watched Lord of The Rings and hung out a little.

Anyways, after I left, I decided to go to my favorite bar (JD's Key club) and I called up my best friend neo_trek  and had him meet us up there.

Since my hair was all messed up from a bad hair day, I told Clingan to let me borrow his favorite winter hat.  We were basically wandering around, when I bumped into my friend Luke from Cross Country.

He had brought his grilfriend Kate and Kate brought her Hot sister along.

I immediately fell in love with this girl, she was soo freaking beautiful and I got so excited talking to her.  We had a lot in common and were both about to graduate from Oakland this next semester.

One of the coolest and weirdest professors I had while attending Oakland was Prof. Mathieson. I took a database class with him as well as I got my first insight into PHP by taking an advanced web design class.

His favorite word in the whole world was DUDE.

One class I remember he picked up someones cell phone that rang and started talking to some random person.

Another time around this time of the year in 2001 or 2002, he had a controversial session where he was trying to explain that terrorists are heroes. (From some peoples perspective.)

He loves Zena the warrior princess and he also does lots of research on psychology.

We had a lot of fun classes together building applications for hippo events (a text based application to buy tickets), two up (a australian gambling game built in javascript) and much more. I miss oakland.

I once was on a site for dating called Lavalife when I was looking to date a bunch. For the most part it worked out cause I met a really cool person who is on this site (The_Liz).

Anyway on my first blind date on the site, I met a girl from lansing who came down to Novi to meet me. We had had great conversation over the phone and she sounded super cute.

But when I saw her I immediately was shocked as she wasnt even remotely cute at all. I am normally not superficial, but I just had no physical attraction to her.

Immediately things went bad... way bad. She immediately began holding my hand not even two minutes after we met which freaked me out! It freaked me out so bad that I had to purchase a TShirt just so I could have something in my hand to prevent these things from happening to me.

I mean she just lost all respect for me right when she started holding my hand. Additionally are great conversations turned into nothing and she had nothing . . . Read More..

One time my mom and I were going through the taco bell drive through off of M-59 and I attempted to shoot my straw wrapper at her.

At the time we were infamous for doing this. But on this particular occasion the wind must have been blowing in the right direction because the thing went like 15 feet into the drive through window and gracefully hit a guy in the butt.

He never knew because it was so light. But it was still hilarious. Both my mom and dad would get mad at places like Big Boy when the straws would hit other people accidentally.
