A lot of people say that everything that happens in life is meant to be and that it was destined to happen. I believed this myself and it’s hard to argue against this, but what if, and i know this is a big what if, but what if everything that happened in your life wasn’t just meant to be. I’m a big thinker so I think about a lot of things and this is just one thing iv’e always thought about a lot. What if you had complete control over everything that happens to you in life. I mean think about it…everything you do in life you have a choice over..some things don’t have good endings but ultimately you aren’t forced to do anything in life. You always have a choice..even when you do bad things such as stealing something…you dont have to steal..you always have the option of stealing or never stealing. The same thing goes with everything in life. You always have a choice to do anything you’d like or to not do something, and like I said before everything has it’s consequences, but regardless you always have a choice. So maybe my theory is crazy but to me it seems pretty reasonable. This is something to think about, maybe everything isn’t meant to be and maybe you choose your own destiny based on your decisions.

I’m sure every sports fan will most likely be tuning into at least part of tonight’s Heat vs Cavs game. Many sports fans have had this day marked on their calendars since the NBA announced this season’s schedule. I know that I will be tuning into this game(well only for a bit because the eagles are on tonight), but nonetheless ill be watching. I’m very curious to see what exactly will happen tonight to Lebron. I’m kinda anticipating some crazy fan to actually try and run on the court or something and attack Lebron. Idk though maybe none of that will happen, either way Cavs fan’s def hate his guts and they def will let him know that tonight. This whole situation in my opinion has been blown way outta proportion. I mean c’mon its just a game. None of these Cav fans were married to Lebron yet they all are acting as if they are and they all just found out that Lebron has been cheating on them for years. He’s just a basketball player and nothing more. These people really didn’t own him, in fact the only thing that somewhat owned him were the Cavs and they really owned only his basketball skills. It’s not like Lebron left in the middle of his contract or requested to be traded. He did it fairly, his contract was up and he had every right to go to whatever team he wanted too. I’m almost positive this had nothing to do with money considering Lebron has so much money in just sponsors alone. He did it to win, just like any other good athlete would do. Me being an athlete myself, I would have done the exact same thing. You play the game because you love it and because you want to win. That’s what Lebron did, I mean the best chance he had at winning on paper was in Miami. Now as we can see so far things aren’t going the way the heat planned, but it was Lebrons best chance at finally winning a ring. Something that he did not do in his run with Cleveland, simply because they did not have the personnel to win a championship. Lebron carried that team and everyone knows that. Now I completely agree that how Lebron handled this whole situation was wrong. There was absolutely no need to go on prime time television to make your free agency announcement. He could have done it just like every other athlete does. But what he did is what he did, its his past and he has admitted that he regrets doing it that way. Regardless i understand that Cavs fans would be upset about him leaving, but things should never gone as far as they did with people sending him threats and burning his jerseys and etc. Instead of putting so much anger into a basketball player how about they put their anger into something of more importance…maybe like the fact that the schooling systems keep getting their budgets slashed and we as a country are falling in the ranks when it comes to test scores compared to other countries. If people put as much passion into that issue as they did the Lebron issue, maybe things would actually get done right in this country. Idk that’s just my opinion but it sounds good to me. Anyways I understand you Cleveland in that your hurt by Lebron, but don’t worry your time will come eventually. Hopefully you guys will beat Miami tonight and this whole Lebron ordeal will be put behind you. Either way it should be a very interesting game tonight and millions will probably be tuned in.

So i decided to do a franchise with the Detroit Lions..i like to take shitty teams and build them up..makes the game entertaining for me…anyways ill be giving posts after each game with stats and what not..currently playing my 6th or 7th game i believe..i simmed up until their bye week and then started playing…idk why lol but stats will be up right after the game…just to give a bit of insight..games are 10min quarters with 25 sec. run off….difficulty is set at custom(everything is right between all-pro and all-madden) I play the entire game(no super simming)…game is played realistically i dont do fake punts nothing like that unless it is necessary…i also only play every other game otherwise seasons would take me forever… and yea thats about it for now
I’m sure you’ve all heard the expression “nice guys finish last.” That’s something that my friends have told me my entire life, yet I refuse to believe them. I was taught growing up that being a nice guy was how I was supposed to live my life, and that’s exactly what I did. I’ve, in my opinion, always been a nice guy and my friends would say the same. It’s how I was raised when I was a child and I continue to act the same way today. People would always tell me that being such a nice guy would get me nowhere in life and that in order to succeed I had to stop being so nice and be a little bit more mean to people. Instead of being so honest they told me that I had to learn to lie a little bit. Well I never gave in to them because I knew that if I kept being such a nice guy it would one day pay off. I’m 18 years old and I am a very successful kid. I am in college, I have great grades, a great family, great friends, a wonderful girlfriend, and money. I got good grades because I worked hard and my teachers always respected me for being such a nice guy. I have a great family and friends who love me because I am so respectful and because I am a nice guy. I have an amazing girlfriend who has fallen in love with me simply because I am just such a nice guy. And I have more money and goods than I can ask for because, you guessed it, I’m a nice guy. I guess the point I’m trying to make here is that don’t listen to people when they say nice guys finish last, because as far as I can see I’m a nice guy and right now I’m in first!
