On the day I had planned to ask Susan to marry me, I took her up from our friend Cynthia's cabin up to Mackinac island because it was only a few hours away from there and we wouldnt have to do any crazy driving to get there. We arrived at the island and she was super excited because this was her one vacation of the summer and it was just for a short amount of time.

We got to the island and the first thing we did was rent some bikes. She probably had wished that I had gotten the two seater so I could do all of the work. We began our bike ride going northwest on the island and about 10 minutes into it we saw my friend Eugene from work ride passed us. His girlfriend Allyssa yelled at me and they then biked toward us. I was very surprised that he took his girlfriend up there too. I was also worried that he was going to say something about us getting engaged because a few days earlier word had gotten out that I had purchased some bling bling.

All went well and later we . . . Read More..

well ill start out by saying i really needed a car for the winter. ive leached off my dad for a few summers by using his truck because, well, he doesnt even drive it 8months out of the year. anyways, it was time to find a winter beater for the winter of 2005/2006. i searched high and low for the perfect beater, and let me tell you, i found just that.

bought from some weirdo dude in dearborn, this perfect running 94 teal escort was in for a challenge, me. it was actually a really nice looking car when i had bought it. no body damage, granted the interior was gross, but after some cleaning and TLC the thing was worth driving for what i paid for it - a whopping 650. talked the dude down from 800 or 900, i forget. anyways here are some stories about the teal beater or what some of my friends would call, the turtle.

the first initial damages were . . . Read More..

We all know that David likes to babysit the younger cousins. When Sean and I were kids he babysat us too.
One time while watching us David thought that it would be really funny to get me and Sean to pick up the phone and call 911. Being the impressionable little kids that looked up to our older cousins that we were Sean and I took his advice and dialed 911 then hung up.
Well soon after that there was a cop at our door wondering where the emergency was.

Sheila really loved you that day David.

The Beast. This is one of many times I almost lost my beast of a car. For those who never seen my car let me describe it for you. It was a 1984 Buick LeSabre. Literally a box on wheel. Fit 3 people in the front and 4 or 5 people in the back. Comfortably. And I?m sure like 5 bodies in the trunk. ? not that I tried or anything?.hehehe..Well In the winter it became my 1000 lbs sled as I attempted to stay on the road.
Well on this particular day we wanted to go sledding so we drove down to the lake were the best hill in the area was. Of course, rather then park a safe distance away I parked right on the hill and slid down into a snow bank. Being the bright guy that I was, I figure if I floored it I could get out. Well it turns out when you floor a rear wheel drive car on ice it just fish tails all over the place. This not only took me out of the snow bank, but brought me inches from the edge of a cliff which was just over the lake. I thought I was done for. My . . . Read More..

I?m going to leave out all the names in this one but it kind of funny. Something only 4 teenagers that are bored would do. Well to set the mood it was winter in Michigan. About 6 inches or more snow on the ground and the roads were covered in ice. A few of us wanted to get together and have a fest. A fest is a video game get together were we just played 4 player battle games for hours on end after school. Well one friend, who will remain nameless, wanted to stay home and make a snowman. Well we weren?t going to have any of that. So later that day we went over to his house and beat down his snowman with a bat.
The next day we went to school and bragged about how we demolished his snowman. He said that he built it back up already. This just pissed us off. So after school we rushed over to his house only to see his snowman standing there but it was turned to ice. He actually covered it with water. And it froze.
Rather than destroy it again we needed to really send him a . . . Read More..
