SMACKOFF 2010

One of my favorite radio stations is having one of the best days! THE JIM ROME SHOW! It's Smackoff 2010! These guys bring it!

On another note, I want to congratulate Brandon Graham on being drafted 13th Overall to the Philadelphia Eagles! He earned it and I hope the best for him. GO BLUE!

Anyways, the Winter '10 semester is wrapping up! Looking forward to having a great summer working hard and riding harder!

Be careful what you say!

One of the hardest things to do is keep your mouth shut. We tend to let things slip and regret it later. It is even easier to to let things slip when we are under the influence, case in point, Jerry Jones.


I am sure he woke up this morning, turned on ESPN and saw THIS!

My main point, try to keep your mouth shut, especially in today's day and age. Everyone has a cell phone that they can easily whip out and record you and post it straight to Youtube!

MISSED OUT!

So I recently started a Facebook fan page called WE LIKE TO RIDE! It's up to 162 Fans in the West Michigan area! Anyways, a bunch of them (15 or so) met tonight at 5:30pm for a 30 mile ride in Jenison/Allendale area and then had a hamburger fry afterwards! What did I do instead? I went grocery shopping and did some homework. Homework is important but it sounds like they had a great ride! I'm looking forward to this semester finishing up so I can focus on work and have nights to ride!

Random Blog

So it's Wednesday and I'm feeling pretty good about this week! The NCAA Championship game was definitely one of the best in a long time... we had a couple really cool storms roll through West Michigan - who doesn't love storms!!? .... and my last full semester of school is almost finished. I'm looking forward to a summer full of working (making some money to pay off debt), CYCLING (mountain and road), and grilling and hanging out with friends!

Anyways, I should get ready for my next class! Hope everyone is having a great week!

MIDWEEK

So it's almost Wednesday and this week is already flying by. What am I most excited about? THE WEATHER FORECAST! They are saying it might hit a high of 80 this week! Not bad for the end of March/beginning of April!

GRILLING

I received a new grill this weekend from a family member and let's just say, "I LOVE IT!" It's very nice to have a grill, especially of this caliber, at my new place. I have grilled a few times already on it and had some friends over to share the food! I love the weather... so glad Michigan's winter is over! Looking forward to many nights this Spring and Summer grilling steaks and having a couple cold ones with my friends! Hope everyone is having a great Monday!

Health Care

The title of this blog from Mark Cuban caught my attention, "If Free Works on the internet, Can it work for Health Care Insurance?"

The nationalized health insurance debate these days is very important. If the nationalized health care goes through it will dramatically change America as we know it. Personally, I believe something needs to be done about our current health care in America but I do NOT believe in nationalizing it. In my opinion, a BIGGER GOVERNMENT = BIGGER PROBLEMS.

Mark Cuban is just throwing an idea out there in his blog post. He puts a relationship between how the internet uses advertising to pay for most of the expenses. He talks about cell phone carriers covering the couple hundred dollars for a cost of the phone in exchange for a multi-year commitment to buy phone and data from them. He then starts talking about Walmart and other businesses and he throws the idea out there of businesses providing health care to its customers in exchange for multi-year commitments to purchase all or most of their products from them.

This idea might be far stretched and it may be nearly impossible to implement but it is an idea nonetheless and credit Mark Cuban for throwing it out there.
