April Showers: The Parable of the Three P's

Dear Friends,

Pete, Priscilla, and Paula are three people that end up going to become connected by fate. Paula and Pete are two people that met because of fate. Priscilla is Pete’s ex girlfriend. Now, Pete is a successful businessman and Paula is a nurse. Priscilla was a former model. When Priscilla and Pete ended their relationship, it was because he wanted more. He also ended because Priscilla was pregnant with his kid. So we will move on, and not Pete is with Paula now. Pete and Paula are doing ok but are not really happy. Then while these two are having these issues, Priscilla comes back and wants Pete back because she loves him and wants him back. Pete is not trying to go back to Priscilla but Paula is not making him feel wanted. So what is Pete suppose to do?

That’s called a parable. It is a story with a meaning. The bible uses parables to make people learn something. Most people would tell Pete to leave Paula and go to Priscilla. My thing is why Paula is making Pete’s life hell. Another thing I would want is would Pete go back to Priscilla if his life was not hell. I think my thing is that if someone wants to leave they should leave but if they have nowhere to go, then what to do. I know people that have gone back to an ex or leave their lovers for someone they know and love more.

So what can Pete do? Because if Pete leaves, then would he be happy with Priscilla or go back to his girlfriend that’s making his life hell. That’s a good question to know. I guess we will never know.

April Showers: Opening Day Excitement

Dear Friends,

I am so excited about this Friday. This Friday will be my seventh year of working at Comerica Park. If you don’t know, Comerica Park is basically the new Tiger Stadium. Detroit Tigers Baseball will return to Detroit. I am so geeked because I am going back to work, and also get to see my favorite baseball team in the world. If you cannot see it, I love baseball. Baseball is something I can be happy about. That’s because I was exposed to baseball through my grandfather. I guess that’s the only thing I can remember of my grandfather.

So what’s going to happen to the Tigers this season? That’s the question most fans want to know. I am excited because I will be at my favorite place in the world, the ball park. I am happy to go back to work and do what I learned to do for seven years, sell. I sell, I have fun, and I work hard for the things I want this year. As the Tigers will work to get a pennant, I will be working on my degree and a job. I wish I could be a pitcher, or an outfielder but I sell and get people excited about the game. More To Come…

April Showers: Easter Monday

Dear Friends,


Yesterday was Easter. Now if you know the story of Easter, you know that Jesus was walking the Earth after he was crucified by the Romans. I believe that anyone can be resurrected after going through a storm. So with that said, this is why I call this part of my blogs: April Showers. I know it is silly but it fits what this month personifies. Before winter can end, you need to be cleansed to see the new season. So that’s where I stand at right now. Before I move on in the year, I need to get through one more thing in order to see a new season.


Now if you don’t know, I do not like religious holidays. I’m not catholic and I do not need to be reminded of what God and Jesus Christ did to save humanity. I do not need to see people in dresses and suits that they bought for one time wear only. I definitely do not need to see women in some god awful hats and kids wearing the lightest colors in the world. When it comes to Easter, I think I just want be reminded of the overall story of the day. So with that, I just want to say to people to enjoy the day and hopefully the days are going to get warmer and more manageable. More to come.
