Open letter for me, from me

Knowing that God doesn't make mistakes in my life, I was born into a city that taught me to be passionate & loyal no matter how bad things looked. I moved to a state where I improved mentally, but was able to see and feel 1st hand how the real world can be. To come back home on a prayer that my mother wouldn't leave me like my father did, and now I'm looking success in the face while planning to relocate. I've watched family members mature into great people, athletes, artists, and business owners. I seen 1st hand the cavs stop a 52 year drought, and I've made lasting connections that will always and forever mean something to me. I plan to spend the rest of this year building on my life's work to this point, and taking every opportunity presented. I love seeing people I grew up with, or made a connection with do great things, and I've spent my whole life making sure I helped my friends, family, and females for which I was in lust, and making sure they was good. It's really time for me to focus on me, and bring us up to a level that we only dreamed of as kids. Some will call me selfish, and some will say I changed, but my goals are very clear and if I don't start running forward towards my future, we'll always be stuck standing in the back with our past. "When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breath".

Rio 2016

The article I will be talking about is the 2016 Olympic games track cycling test event. To give a little background on the event, Rio will be hosting the 2016 Olympic games, and there have been reports about the fact that Rio may not be ready to host the games. In this article it agrees with the fact that people did not think Rio would be ready in time. The cycling event has changed dates, and has been moved from March 18-20 to April 29- May 1 in an attempt to have more time to install the new track, yet Rio 2016 did issue a statement stating “There is no impact on the games-time competitions with Olympic track cycling taking place from August 11-16 and Paralympic track cycling from September 8-11” I think it’s amazing that Rio had more than four years to working on being ready for the Olympic, and yet they still are pushing back dates that was set forth. When you read the article it’s easy to see that Rio 2016 wants people to think that they are ready and prepared for the task that has been set in front of them, but you can tell that they may have gotten way over their heads and that they may need some help to pull it off, rather it be pushing back dates or bringing in extra people to work on the event with them. The article also speaks on the fact that construction will begin in February and that the reason it has been move to February is because of the change in dates for the cycling test run. In the case of Rio pushing the test run dates back to insure the track is finished, I am going to agree with this move. The test run is to verify everything within the dome is working and that there are no issues, so it is for the best that they keep working on building and making sure that it is ready for the test run. I feel the best part of pushing the test run back a month is that in won’t have an impact on the starting date of the regular Olympics, and if there are any problems at the point of the test run they would have more than three months to correct any and all problems before the main event starts in August. I also think it’s smart to push back the date they will start on construction, because it gives them a chance to take a little my time to work on it, rather than rushing to try to meet the date and having a lot of errors that needs to be corrected after they have tried the test run. In concluding I really hope that Rio 2016 can keep their word and deliver a great Olympics in 2016, and I hope that they can do it on time without any other set backs that could cause the fans to wonder if the Olympics will take place.        

Cleveland OH "Infamous" Cleveland

     To be a fan of a Cleveland sports team takes patience, strength, and blood pressure checks regularly. Let's take a walk down the shores of Lake Erie, where a cold winter night and a Cavalier lost will send nerve pinching pain throughout your body, but we love our teams because a true Cleveland fan will ride front seat no matter how much we complain.
     Let's start with the pain and suffering of the Cleveland Browns, a very historic team rich with culture and football legends such as; Jim Brown, and Bernie Kosar, and future legends Joe Thomas, and Joe Haden. The last time the Browns won a championship was 1964, since then it's been nothing but pain from there, in 1988 Earnest Byner had the infamous "Fumble", in 1996 the late Art Modell relocated us to Baltimore (who has since won two rings), yeah sure we came back in 1999 but it's been down hill from there, it's very sad when the only good thing we have going in football is the Ohio State Buckeyes (2014 Champs), are you feeling sorry for us yet?  
     Baseball in Cleveland was on fire in the 90's, and it has been proven that if they put a good product on the field fan will show up, but we hear all the time that the Indians don't have money to spend. I can remember the great teams we had at one point with Bartolo Colon, C.C Sabathiea, Kenny Lofton, Omar Vizquel, Jim Thome, and Manny Ramirez, but just like the Browns the Indians are known for a infamous moment. In 1997 the Cleveland Indians made to the World Series in which we faced a team from Florida who was just in their fifth year of being a MLB team, going into the seventh game of the series Cleveland was up 2-1 going into the ninth inning, we sent out our closer Jose Mesa and he blew the game, giving up a run in the ninth sending the game into extras and we ended up losing the game. Talk about bad luck.
     The Cleveland Cavaliers are a handful to deal with so let's start with the infamous shot, Michael Jordan tears our hearts away with a buzzard beating readjusted jump shot, sure he's the greatest of all time but this isn't about his greatness. So let's fast forward to 2003 where things are looking up and we draft Lebron James, and all is well right? No. In 2010 Lebron has the infamous "Decision" in tune to not 5, not 6, not 7. It felt like we had been stood up at prom, only Cleveland could lose a hometown star and the best player in the game at the time.
     In closing I say isn't it time that Cleveland shines brighter than a ice sickle tree branch in the middle of January, can we as fans say it's our time, well fear not because the Browns finally have pieces in place and cash to spend, the Indians have a great coach with a Cy young winner, and MVP candidate, and as for the Cavaliers the king has returned home, so fans smile because we are about to turn infamous to famous.
