Greatest Gift of All Time

 As a child, you remember many key moments in your childhood. Big sports moments, funny family stories, classroom memories, and also when you get your favorite gift to play with. This gift was given on Christmas, and this gift changed my entire life. 

It all started on Christmas Eve, when in my family tradition, we open gifts from family members. So the whole family is passing out gifts to each other, where we start from youngest to oldest. Some kids got pajamas, some kids got neckties, and then my brother opens the brand new MADDEN video game!!! But here is the problem... the video game was on Play Station 2, and we only had the first Playstation. So my brother did the best acting job of his career, where he thanked my uncle for the gift, then awkwardly put it to the side. 



Then right after that, my oldest brother opened a gift and it was a brand new bowling video game. It seemed like a pretty cool game, but yes... You guessed it, it was also on the Playstation 2. 

Me, being the youngest brother, was more frustrated than both of them because yes these video games were not for me, but whenever they were out of the house, I sneak into that room and play the games. And now, I cannot play because these games were Playstation 2 games and all we had was the first Playstation. 

We came home, threw our gifts to the side as we sprint upstairs, and go to bed waiting for more gifts in the morning. The next morning comes, we spring downstairs looking under the tree waiting to be able to open the gifts. And the best gift of all time was not under the tree, but the gift was already set up under the television, and it was the PLAYSTATION 2!!! They must've created this evil plan together to just try and piss us off on Christmas Eve knowing on Christmas Day was going to be the most epic day ever. 

To this day, nobody can convince me there's a better video game console than the Playstation 2. This was the prime years of playing Madden, 2k, MLB the show, Halo, Grand Theft Auto... This was the the prime years of video games, and nobody can change my mind otherwise.

  We made it everyone! It is finally the best time of the year! The fall season! The crisp morning, the firepit evenings, the football season, the chili, ALL OF IT IS FINALLY HERE! I have been waiting for this since the "Holiday Season" ended and now all I can do is sit, smile, and enjoy the moments we have.  Here are the top 5 things about fall that everyone should be excited for... 5.) Weather The fall weather is better than anything else to experience. Crisp cool mornings and firepit evenings? What is better than that? Winter is always brutal with it being so cold shivering at any point when you are outside and summer do not even get me started... My AC is on full blast at home and in my car at all times, and when I go outside, it is like I am walking through lava. It is always a bad day to wear a t shirt with those sweat stains running down. But I do not have to worry about either those for the next couple of months. Hoodie in the morning on my walks, and hoodies as I sit...

Best Sequel Ideas for Disney Movies

  Adults will be running to the living room couch to be eating Dunkaroos and a Lunchable waiting for the new movie to come up. This cast is incredible to see and will get people of all ages to watch. Kind of curious if they will have EVERYONE from the previous ones to come, but either way, it's the nostalgia that the older people will need to see, and the younger kids can start from the first Camp Rock and watch them all the way to the newest one coming up. This is a win/win scenario for viewers, and I cannot wait to see how it goes. Now if they are doing this... will they be doing this for new movies? Here are a top 5 Disney movies that I would absolutely love for them to make a reboot to be put on in the future.                                                                    ...

Detroit Lions - Believe or Dont!

Image
This is my first blog about the Detroit Lions for the year. It stung very hard with the Detroit Lions losing to the Washington Commanders home in the first round of the playoffs. To be a Lions fan, I have never been more confident in a football team. We kept winning primetime games and coming back when we were losing later in the game... the Detroit Lions never get to do that. So right when the confidence was at the highest it possibly could, it went crumbling down and the Lions fell off the playoffs early that year. But you know what... this is a knew year, and after week 1, I heard many people saying they do not believe in them this year, and with that I say... Stay on the ship or do not think about coming back.  The season was amazing last year, I agree, they did everything besides win the Superbowl. New year, same energy... so we thought. Week 1 in Green Bay is a scary one to start. Especially when they have just received Micah Parsons as a pass rushing threat to add on for the...
