Due to recent events, I am having to leave SG for an indeterminate time. Over two years ago, I had to stay in the local hospital for several days due to a bad shoulder injury. Despite signing up for a program that was supposed to pay for most, if not all of it, I was still slapped with a several thousand dollar bill that I...

You know me. You know the name. I'm back with a vengeance after spending three months working harder than I ever have in life. The war continues.
So here we are, 16 days into September. What a month so far. I started my fitness class the week of Labor Day. It's tough getting back into shape, but the results already are starting to show: I dropped 15 pounds after only a week of working out. That's down to 260 pounds from a starting point of 275. It's been showing, too: I'm gaining...

August ends tomorrow. Where did the summer go to?
Three months ago, I kicked off an internship with the sheriff's office. I'm happy with my decision to do so - I learned a lot through that. Enough to actually apply for a job as a sworn deputy there. I just hope I'm prepared to have to see death up close. I caught a glimpse last...

Thanks very much! I wish you luck with your trip to the coroner's office. Just remember to ask as many questions as you can. They're more than willingly to answer anything you want to ask, and will do their best to help get you trained up in some small way for your career.
What a crazy month it has been. A few weeks back, I began my internship with the county sheriff's office. It was relatively unremarkable at first, until my ride along with the civil unit happened. I witnessed a few evictions, the worse of which involved trash piled way up to the garage ceiling, black tar heroin being found in the entire home, a homemade crack...

Here in the modern era, acceptance of others is upheld to the highest level by many on all levels of society. It is claimed that we have learned from the mistakes of the past. Many could cite the Civil War as an example, how we once treated Native Americans, or any other race for that matter. Still, I don't see it happening quickly enough. The...

Life continues to throw me curveball after curveball. Five years ago, I was wondering what the future even held for me at that point. You see, this was 2007, and I was going on 22 at that point. I had no real idea what direction my life was going in. I was in southwest Detroit at that point...close to being homeless. I'd been through a...
