Hallo... or so.

   So… why start a blog? I don’t know. I just noticed that I post way too much crap on Facebook, so I figured this would be a nice way for me to keep track of my sports related postings and have them all nicely organized in one place. And that way, I won't have to annoy the hell out of all my friends who don't really care. Maybe a nice little hobby for I travel often, have lived abroad before-- so therefore, this will help me stay up to date on my teams and share my experiences as well.

Blog is a silly word.

   So my direction… this is simple. The Detroit Tigers and The Detroit Red Wings along with baseball, MLB, hockey, NHL, and anything in between. Occasionally some other teams and sports... if I feel like it.

   About me… born and raised in Detroit. Mother and step-father are die hard baseball/Tiger fans and therefore, I am too. I have a lot of great memories with the team. I was also in grade school when the Detroit Red Wings had their back-to-back wins in ‘97 and ’98 which made a pretty big impression on me as a child. Now, over a decade later, here I am and I need to get a life.

   Best described as cat-liker. I study German and education while currently entering an early-life crisis about my future. I lived in Germany my entire junior year of college and attended Ludwig Maximilian Universität in Munich.

Additional Facts:

1.) I like making lists.

2.) Despite having Photoshop, I prefer MS Paint.

3.) Regardless of popular belief, I do not sleep with a Chris Osgood plush doll.

4.) I’m aware that the blog name is in French, but sadly, I don’t know any French. However, I may slip into German, Swedish, Russian related things. Be prepared.

Notes:

1.) For the most part, I’m non-biased. However, I am a still fan. If I have a reason to not like something, I will try my hardest to back it up with facts.

2.) I do like satire and sarcasm. If you can’t pick up on it, oh well.

3.) Take me serious, but not a whole lot.

4.) I'm going to make quite a few grammar and spelling errors. I'm very sorry.

For now on, I'm going to talk as if I been doing this awhile. I'll begin to share this with people I know as I get more situated.

Okay, jetzt geht's los!
