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.

MSU Football is Likely Over, But The Problems Are Still There
This year, the program got another black eye with the Michigan tunnel assault a few weeks back. 6 players were charged with aggravated assault and another with assault and battery.

People Miss That Black Friday Chaos. Whaaat???
We moved even further into the online rabbit hole. While it does give us more time with family, but it does eliminate some tradition. Heading out early Friday morning was a big deal for moms across Michigan and other places too. A big chunk of people actually miss that chaos.
Some Michigan Things To Be Thankful For

Are Traditional Baby Names Making a Michigan Comeback?
The choice of name is up to the parents, but be careful. Your kid might one day regret being named after a fruit or your favorite car. Just saying. That being said, it does look like the traditional names are making a return to the mitten.
Do Love Your House or Do You Wish You Could List It?
Some people have big dreams when it comes to their homes. The truth is, most Americans admit they are not living in their dream homes. Ironically, their dream homes are not priced out of the realm of possibility. Dreams are also in realistic locations. The suburbs, by water, or in a big city. Michigan can offer all of that, but the market is still tough.
A Used Gift Christmas?
"It's the thought that counts," is a saying that will most likely mean more this year. A lot of people are giving used gifts this year. Instead of Amazon and the construction braving trip to the Meridian Mall, people are turning to Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist.
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.
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.
Michiganders Tend To Have Arachnophobia
Some people are petrified of the dentist. If we're being honest, the sound of that drill is a bit horrifying.
Michiganders fear spiders above all other things. A little arachnophobia goes a long way through the mitten. Personally, I accept that spiders kill other bugs and are kind of like our protectors.

Celebrating the cold is one thing, but how many times has Hell actually frozen over? Not as many as you might think.
