Dear Friends,
How can I describe Opening Day at Comerica Park for 2010? Cold as hell! How can I describe the next day? It was beautiful as a summer’s day. If you are not from Detroit, you know that opening day is a cold day but the next day, it would be like summer time. I can honestly say that Opening weekend went from shitty to good in three days. In those three days, I loved Detroit. The Tigers won the first three games, the city was at peace, and spring is here in Michigan.
Coming soon, I will be doing blogs as a vendor. I figured that by doing this, you will see what it is like to be a vendor. To know what it is like to work your ass off just to get paid. Back to Opening day, I will say that I loved going to Detroit to work. Nothing can compare to seeing bums happy to see people come to Detroit and beg them for change. So for now, all is well is Detroit. The Tigers are going to help get through spring and summer in Detroit until college and pro football returns in the fall. That’s all for now but more is coming.

April Showers 2010: Alone Happy or Miserable Together
Dear Friends,
I have a question for you all: Can a man and a woman live together and become happy together?
In all my relationships, that question has eluded me. I think it is because I am not use to living with another woman aside from my mother and my aunts. What upsets me is that I have been with people that have been slobs, or some nasty people. I think my issues are more in my head. Recently I came to the notion that I like living alone. At least when I was living alone, I knew what was dirty or clean. I also did not have to worry about cleaning up dog shit. I did say dog shit.
So am I wrong for saying that I rather live alone? I will say it like this:
• If you have to clean up after grown people, then you might want to live alone.
• If you have to clean up dog shit and vomit, then you need to live alone.
• If you see clothes pilling up and they are not yours to wash, you damn sure need to live alone.
• If you cannot even have a moment’s peace because you are constantly having people come over unannounced, you need to lock the door and stand by the door with a gun if they try to come in.
• If you have kid’s clothes all over the place but it is not your kid’s clothes, you need to get the fuck out of there.
If you cannot tell what I am saying, I think I need to live alone. However, with how things are in the world, you cannot live alone. So I guess for now, you just cry in the dark and hope for a miracle to come save me. Speak to you all soon.

April Showers 2010: Detroit Tigers Baseball Report
Dear Friends,
Well baseball is official started. So far the Detroit Tigers are having a good season so far. This is my opinion of my baseball team so far. I will blog about opening day soon. As for now, we are 12 games in and unlike a couple of years ago when they lost nine games straight, they are doing well. As of last night, Detroit Tigers are in second place behind Minnesota Twins. Both these teams are separated by 1.5 games. I am happy that we are at least in the hunt for first place. I think we will get to first place by late May.
Well we have a lot of new players due to trades. I am sad to lose Curtis Granderson, and Fernado Rodney. However the new additions to the team are helping out and as a fan, I am happy. So my thing is that we need to hit more, and we need to actually score more. My only other grip is that our pitching needs to improve drastically. I know our pitching is getting bad when Justin Verlander is giving up runs this early in the season. So I hope this will be one of many blogs I will write about the Tigers. I hope this year we can do more than just be a joke. Speak to you soon.

April Showers 2010: Randomness
Dear Friends,
I have been away for a while. Seeing this is spring and baseball is back, I had to start my job over and also do some things to make my life better and stress free. So with that said, here are some random thoughts for you:
1. What does the first thing come to mind when you see glitter? In my friend Lezlee’s case, she thought it was a stripper. My first thought would be how you would know that strippers wear glitter. She’s a sweet girl but when that came out of her mouth, I damn near was laughing my ass off.
2. Why does spring the state of Michigan mean construction? I think I saw enough orange over the weekend to wonder why we cannot go one year without tearing up the roads of Michigan. I wonder if these people like upsetting people by ripping up the road just to piss us off.
3. Why is it hard to fly through volcano ash? I understand that it would cause great damage to the engines but you can fly low. I know if I was stuck in France, I would have left in any way possible. I mean you can fly towards China and get back to the US via California.
4. Why is it hard to send someone to jail in Detroit? Most of these people that can get off on some bullshit but if I was convicted for the same crimes, I would be locked up for years. Things like this are the reason why people would not come to Detroit to live or do business with.
5. Should Opening Day become a city holiday in Detroit? Aside from St. Patrick’s Day, Opening Day at Comerica Park is a huge drinking day. I think it should be a holiday because it would prevent people to drive drunk in and out of Detroit.
Those are my random thoughts for now; I hope I can do more of this in the near future. Speak to you all later.

P.S. For my friend Kayla, not all black people die in horror movies. However, black people die in horror movies because we don’t hear what’s coming.
