Breakdown Before Breakthrough | The 2012 Ravens

Today, President Obama welcomed my hometown Baltimore Ravens to the White House to congratulate the team on its Super Bowl win over the 49ers earlier this year. For all of us long suffering Ravens fans out there, this win was amazing…and I think it tasted even sweeter than our Super Bowl win in 2000 because [...]

Effort and Immortality: The Ray Lewis Legacy

Ray Lewis. Love him or hate him, you’ll always remember him…and hopefully when it’s all said and done, always respect him. If you’re unfamiliar with his story, it all started at The “U” (my beloved University of Miami), and now Ray is in the twilight of an amazing hall of fame football career. He is [...]

The Reinvention of Self

Another year has come and gone, and now is the time most of us will sit back and assess ourselves and our achievements, or lack thereof. It’s New Year’s Resolution time! Listen, last year is history. 2012 came and went. Maybe you achieved your goals. Maybe you didn’t. Maybe the economy kicked your ass last year. [...]

Unfortunately, many people live life on their knees – spending the majority of their time being mentally bullied by stress, worry, fear, hate, and regret. It’s an epidemic, especially in modern culture. It’s [...]

Live Your Life

Its taken me a while to get around to it but I finally watched Act of Valor (ironically on Independence Day) and the movie delivered a powerful message. When I say powerful…I mean POWERFUL. Now, I’m not going to make this post a movie critic style review… …but if you’ve seen the flick you probably [...]

Hell Week

I don’t know any other way to describe this past week, other than it has been a week from hell. First I screwed my knee up… Then there was the funeral for a friend who was strangled to death by a police officer… Then my little sister was hospitalized TWICE with what doctors believed was [...]

Be All You Can Be

Rewind 20 years and I was a young kid with crazy dreams and aspirations. (Check me out, I’m on the right) One day I wanted to be a professional wrestler, the next day an astronaut, and the next day a dinosaur. I honestly think that I wanted to be everything cool as a kid from [...]
