Ohio born. Michigan tempered. I believe music is the soundtrack to our lives. It is there through the good, the bad, and whatever mood we find ourselves in. I am a sports fanatic, Star Wars expert, Marvel Movie geek, and I love a good rom-com from time to time. It is the little things that matter the most, so I encourage you to make the most of yours. You are never too old to chase a dream. At the end of the day, I am a little bit Timberlake, mixed with some Blake Shelton, and a little Foo Fighters added in.

Open Letter to The Guy at Okemos Meijer on Nov 1st
Some people are better at the U-Scan than others. For some, it is clearly confusing. Others move through it as fast as the machine will allow. You my friend were moving at what I thought was a moderate pace. I thought you had completed your shopping trip and moved towards the machine. What happened next stopped me in my tracks.
Michigan Mom Makes Quite a Meatloaf!
A mom from Mesick, Mi created a bit of meatloaf art in honor of her son Colin. Well done Melissa! Food art is impressive, but this is pretty darn funny too. She was just trying to do something cute for him helping out. The fact that they are from Michigan is a bonus.
The High Cost of Rent In Michigan: The Struggle Is Real
You see it at the pump. You feel it at the grocery store. If you find yourself in need of a place to live, well that is economically challenging too. Lansing is a college town, but still. We all seem to be paying student rates or higher. Michigan isn't the worst, but it still isn't cheap.
Hey Lansing, Are You Roadside Ready?
What is roadside ready you ask? It is probably something you have heard about since you started driving. You parents might have put a blanket, flashlight, road flares, and jumper cables in your car. All of which are good to have. You never know when you are going to need them.
Should You Have To Age In To Coffee?
There are some that are just not interested in coffee. These days though, the tasty beverage is reaching a younger audience everyday. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that kids under 12 not consume caffeine at all. Even though parents might keep the kids off the java, they can get it in plenty of other places. The same argument can be made for energy drinks.
Fight In The Michigan Tunnel Makes MSU’s Loss Look Even Uglier
The game was a close one in the first half. Things got out of hand for MSU in the second and they lost 29-7. Similar to what happened in the Penn State game, there was a fight in tunnel. As the teams were leaving, after the fourth quarter, one Michigan Wolverine found himself being attacked by three state players.
Which One Of These Movie Monsters Scares You The Most?
There are a ton of movies that feature terrifying characters. The Exorcist, Saw, The Conjuring, and Psycho just to name a few. I wanted to keep this list reserved for the, "Franchise Players," so to speak. They are the face of mainstream, pop culture, horror movies.
Let’s Do Trick or Treat Right!
We have all been to the house that gets trick or treating very right and the one that does it very wrong. The right candy goes along way too. If you are sitting at home and passing it out, you don't want to mess this up. Passing out candy is not required. If you don't want to participate, remember to turn your lights off!
Some of The Dead Allegedly Don’t Rest In One Lansing Cemetery
Cemeteries are some of the most peaceful places in the world. Unless of course the dead are not resting well. While Elmwood Cemetery in Detroit is the states oldest, there is some creepy history with Lansing's burial grounds.
Hey Lansing! Bath, Shower, or Neither? Please Don’t Say Neither
I am surprised, but 44 out of 50 states would rather have a bath. Michigan is among them. I like a nice hot shower once or twice a day. It could be a time thing. You have work or class all day and can't wait for the bath to fill. You just turn the shower on, get in, and get it done.
