I’m so HAPPY to be with my PARENTS and my SIBLINGS here in Detroit. Not to mention GREAT FRIENDS. I wanted a change and was tired of the crime. But I soon found out.. Crime is EVERYWHERE.
I live DOWNTOWN and I LOOOOOOOOVE what I see Happening! Detroit is my home forever! 🙂 Sorry I even left for a minute. I’m excited about the comeback of MY CITY! 🙂

Hahahaha…Ive seen this video before and its SOOOOOO FUNNY TO ME.. Because I finally get a chance to see HOW I LOOK when someone says something stupid to me. LOL I’ll make faces just like that, it keeps me from saying something that will offend…. YOU! Down to the word “boo” I would have explained myself using the very same words. LOL LOL Those facial expressions are priceless. Patti wasn’t going to let the conversation go on without her EXPLAINING her part. SOOOOOOO MEEE!!! LOL
When I DON’T want to offend you, I JUST want you to UNDERSTAND. Patti was showing the audience that its paper not the actual cupcake she’s holding. OOO weee that was funny. I promise this is MEEEEEEEEEEEE ALL DAY.. My family and friends LOVE when I have to do that. I keep it friendly laughing and to the point! I don’t want anyone mad at me.. I just need you to UNDERSTAND. Take a look!
In 1980 I was 13 years old when this song came out. When I first heard it I was blown away. I instantly fell it LOVE with the lyrics and the way it was sung. Back then when you listened to the radio you never really knew who sung the song unless you catch the DJ saying it before or after …..IF he did. Now you can use your iPhone to ask Siri LOL
This song has been in my iPod for years, and also on heavy rotation on my YouTube channel. I have to hear this song EVERYDAY. Recently I found the lyrics and decided to post the video to go along with it. Its Spiritual, and it shall be played in my Wedding. Jesus… I LOVE THIS SONG!
Joyous Flame
Da da da, da da
da da da
Into my my life you came
And now I know I’ll never be the same
I know that you and love are one in the same
You gave your life to be a joyous flame
Thank you Lord
Youre my reason why I live
You’ve got the only thing that I can’t give
With you I know, I know, I know, I know I can’t survive
You made me feel the joy of just being alive
Today I heard your voice, it came to say
From the fear and doubt in your life, you’ve just got to walk away
Be thankful that you’re here, never goin away
I sing and shout at what you’re saying today
Everybody’s gonna feel His love in this old world
Cause it’s about time for this old world
Everybody’s gonna feel His love in this old world
Cause it’s about time, don’t you think for this old world

I just absolutely love the fact that an old co-worker of mines has finally found his wife… in his BFF. This is what he shared on his FB page. AMEN to LOVE!
Fellas if you got a woman and you love her…make sure you make her happy. This time last year my bff got stood up on her bday by her man. So I took her out and surprised her with a cake after dinner. This year she is celebrating her bday with me again, but this time as my wife
Here is another LOVE story that went viral…. that I JUST LOVE.. Read the story below.
Kind of embarrassed to admit this, but I think I sort of cheated on my wife today. To explain what I mean, I was at Target getting a few manly things, you know – eyebrow tweezers, toenail clippers, beard trimmers, mustache molding waxes, some beef jerky, sardines, trail mix, a loofah – and as I went to pay I saw this woman in line that knocked me out. I thought, “Wow, some lucky guy is with her”, and in a split second I realized it was my wife! You know, it was just out of context to see my spouse at the same store, in the same line, living her life and not knowing she might be at the same place, same time, different car. There was a person between us, so I just watched my cute little Love, tried to text her stuff like, “Hey Hottie” and “What are you buying now my Babelicious?”, none of which got her attention as she was looking for a coupon she’d saved just for this purchase. So I gave up getting her attention, as you can imagine I easily could have humiliated her by leaping on the register as a Raptor and really making her publicly proud, and instead just stood back and silently observed my feelings about this woman. First off, I was taken aback by how amazingly beautiful she is once again. I believe I see it often, but today, not knowing she was at the store, I saw her with new eyes and just couldn’t believe I get to be her fella. It made me blush – but no one could see it under my huge monster Movember beard. Second, it amazed me that she didn’t notice me in the slightest. This is both a good and a bad thing. Good in that she doesn’t have a wandering eye. Good in that she didn’t see the creepy dude with the overgrown mink on his face peering over her shoulder. But maybe that’s bad, too, like what if it hadn’t been me? I need to get her another can of mace just in case. But it was also bad because I realized how close I came to not ever winning her love in the first place, and the herculean efforts I had to make all those years ago to even get her attention just to say yes to one date! For a minute I felt that familiar grief of doom when I first saw her and knew well, that’s impossible. But somehow I nabbed her despite my insecurities, inabilities, and imperfections. Third, I was ultimately so pleased to see her in complete confidence on this day, as the independent, capable, humble, fun, sweet, kind, awesome person she is. And then she grabbed her things and walked out the door. I never said anything, didn’t flag her down, just watched her walk away, admiringly, knowing she’s my wife and I love everything about this woman. She rarely looks at Facebook so she won’t see this post, she won’t realize she was kind of cheated on today, but I thought I’d share with you all since I’m just a dweeby guy making my way through life, and at the same time sure there are those who have had the same experiences regarding their loved ones in one way or another, and these moments are perfect. Lesson of the Day: It’s good to look at those we love with fresh eyes whenever we can to remind us how lucky we are to have their light in our lives.
God I’m watching you. I feel youre up to something 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆💋 Got my eye 👁 on you LOL These dreams, these thoughts, the prayers. Yes got my 👀 On you dad.
Today, Lacrease, we believe God wants you to know that God is crazy about you.
God sends you fresh flowers every spring, a breathtaking sunrise every morning. If God had a wallet, your picture would be in it. If God has a refrigerator, your childhood scribbles would be on it.
