Michigan Thread spring edition

My bad. But you warned me about the Plunger guns that they show on Saturday mornings:cool:

(evil laughs)

Congradulations, Ed. I now grant you with an extended life span of 1,000 years.

Congradulations,Ed.Mr.Class Of 2005!!!

Ed, all I gotta say is that when you look out on your career change, don’t be afraid to branch out beyond Michigan if that’s what it takes. If the ends justify the means with minimal risk, carpe diem.

A final reminder to all that my tournament is tomorrow. My site will be at the Student Art Exhibition from the College for Creative Studies. I urge anyone who’s attending to be there around 11:30 for Tekken, 1PM for everything else. Thanks.

Congradulations dog

but on the real

FUCK DETROIT

Now that you’ve got your shit, get as far away as possible, aint shit cracking in Detroit, nothing but violence & ignorance, mixed with poverty and economical chaos… Fuck Detroit, move somewhere else dog… You keep looking in Detroit and you won’t find shit… Thats some real shit :tup:

Congrats man, My Graduation is on Sunday. If you get a lead on some jobs let me know. :tup:

HEY YO its me, its me, its RDG (RUSH DOWN GOD) VDO here, just wanna say CONGRATULATIONS ED! Good job and stuff, I guess it shows that hard work and dedication pays off huh? What are you doin for a celebration?

Don’t have anything planned for the celibration, and Star Wars don’t come out till next week:tup: Thanks for the Congrads and the all the advice ya’ll. It’s well appreciated. I learned long ago that it’s nothing here in Detroit if you want to do something so I’m all for branching out, even leaving. Depending on how things are between now and like the first week of July it’s a high posibility that I will be moving to Tennessee…more like a 90% chance. All my family are either there or will be moving there(my parents and siblings in July). I’d like to stay up here but can’t do that without a hustle ya know? Even the bullshit jobs just to occupy time ain’t exactually poppin here(restaurants, retail,etc). It’s a shame people are still getting paid $5 or $6 and working 40 hours, but it’s rough getting one of those now. I’ve been working for the University and Radio Crap…I mean Shack for the past 3 years:lol: And I got paid more for work study than at Radio Shack. When you start to get old all that stuff about the Economy that you never cared about start to matter:tup:

Anyways, Holla at ya’ll later.

No problem.

Congrates Ed!

XBOX 360 REVEILED!!! That system is crazy swweeeeeeeetttttt!!! Go to www.xbox360.com for all the specs! You’ll love it! :clap: It does so many things its insane!!! :tup:

I figured I would quote this because it’s SO true.

…You can sign me up for one. I saw it in todays paper, I guess I’ll be standing in yet another line.

Ed Your The Man Pimpin And Schooling, Good Shit. Now School People In Pimping.

(evil laughs)

FOOLISH INFERIOR BEINGS!! There will be pain and suffering at the May’n Event. There is nothing safe from I, The Deity. (evil laughs)

…Ed man don’t you come around here wit all dat learnin and shit. What you tryin to run fo mayor or sumthin? You see, I’m smart too. I know that 2+2=8 and 6+6=124. Also if it’s 90 degrees outside that it must be freezin and shit. See, you ain’t gotta go to school to be all smart and shit…look at me. Syke! LoL

…CONGRADS my Brotha, keep up the good work!

Congrats ED…way to go. Earn 6 figures.

Are you still getting married right away? Marrige can wait!:cybot:

No Doubt, thanks Dave. We gotta hit that new spot one day.

Running for mayor wouldn’t be a bad idea. Don’t think Killpatrick will be there too long :tup: I though 2+2=9? Ah well.Thanks John

I agree that marriage can wait until it’s really time Kinn. In fact that’s been the main issue the past few days with me and my girl. I’m trying to explain to her that I am trying to stay here for us, but if I can’t we’ll just have to put a hold off on our plans. She sees it as me just saying that I want to leave and is pretty upset with me. I can’t deal with the negativity right now. it’s out of my hands what will happen, but she don’t see it that way. So I don’t know what’s gonna happen with us. But I trust whatvever happens is meant to so I’ll just have to see.

Take some advice from an old fart.

I can see her standpoint. Good black men are few and far between, she sees that you have potential and she wants to latch onto you and force you into a commitment before its too late…sorta selfish if you ask me. If shes secure in her relationship with you, she shouldn’t worry…look at George and Jen, been going together for years…but waited to get married untill it was RIGHT for them…only then. Its a beautiful thing to see. But tying the knot so soon before you’ve even established yourself is in my opinion prelude to disaster. You leave yourself open to all sorts of issues and arguments that will put pressure on the relationship, and we won’t even talk about pregnancy…then your nuts belong to her regardless if you stay together or not. What good is a 6 figure salary if half of it goes to child support, to a child that will often times will not see that support anyway by the time that check gets there. Then if you fall behind, its jail time for you…also they have now passed a law in Michigan that you will not be allowed a drivers license if you are behind in support.

Anyway…don’t get me wrong, I respect the institution of marrige…but do it when your mentally and financially ready…not before. Oh yeah, and don’t do like this old, broken down robot, get hooked up with the wrong woman and end up being single into your 30’s and 40’s.
