Lifted 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I own a lifted 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. It is light gray with dark gray trim on the bottom. I bought this jeep from Total Eclipse two years ago when it had 113,xxx miles on it and it now has 160,xxx on it but, I've been replacing almost every part slowly since then. On the interior I had a new headliner put in, I bought two 10" Alpine subwoofers, I put new back hinges on back hatch, It has a new head unit and I recently put in an alarm system. On the outside I Put a 3" suspension lift on it with new shocks, new rotors and brake pads, new 15x8 black American Racing wheels with chrome center caps, new chrome lugnuts, I had 20% tint put on 360 degrees including the eyebrow on the front, I have blacked out my front turn signals and tail lights, put new headlight assemblies in with new headlights, put vent visors and a bugshield on, just recently bought new 31x10.5x15 Hankook Dynapro ATM tires, I have a custom exhaust and the last thing I have done on the outside so far is replace all of the seals on my four wheel drive and front and rear differentials. Under the hood I have bought a K&N air filter and put a new battery in, and flushed out the radiator and put new anti-freeze in. I've also repainted the roof rack on it and had all the dents removed. It also has a Fox sticker on the back window. Altogether I have about two and a half grand put into my jeep for now. I will keep you updated on my modifications when they occur.

The Oakland Raiders

I have liked the Oakland Raiders since I was about six or seven years old. My dad was watching a game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Oakland Raiders and I just picked the Raiders and I remember telling my dad that's going to be my favorite team for now on and they have been ever since. even though the last like four years haven’t been the best for Oakland I think this year they will at least win eight to nine games, realistically. In my world I would love for them to win all sixteen games, but come on seriously that's asking a bit too much. This year they have started out 0-1, but we play the St. Louis Rams today (who are TERRIBLE!) so I’m thinking the first "W" will come today and that will be our first win this season.

Red Bud Weir

I'm sure most of you know about Red Bud Weir and what it is all about. Red Bud Weir is my current job now after "retiring" from Alco in Red Bud. Weir has dealerships, two warehouses, and an east building for all the extra parts for the ford warehouse. There are a ton of employees on the Pontiac side and only like fifteen on the Ford side. The owner Norm has recently purchased like 20 acres of land out towards Waterloo and is thinking about combining all of the parts buildings into one huge warehouse. Weir has been around for over 80 years and is still thriving today. They own about 100 give or take a few trucks and almost all of them have over 500,000 miles on them. Just the other day I drove a truck with 600,000 miles on it and we have a truck that has 849,xxx miles on it. Weir is half and half on male and female employess. Well that's about it when it comes to Weir.

Mizzou Vs Illini

     M-I-Z...Z-O-U is all I heard on Saturday when me and my friend went to the Edward Jones Dome for the Mizzou and Illini game. For starters i woke up late and had to race to the Swansea Metro Link Station, just to make it to the train. When we finally got on the train we both had realized we weren't sure which stop it was to get off at. Luckily I knew someone else that was going to the game who just so happened to be on the train, he told us it was the Conventional Center. To make matters even worse, my friend is a freaking Mizzou fan.
     Once we finally made it to the game, there was only three minutes left in the first quarter with Illini winning 3-0. We saw about three fights, people being escorted out, and a guy threw his cup of ice on me; which didn't end pretty. By half time the score was 10-3 Illini. One of the two letdowns of the whole day was I got stuck on the Mizzou side, and was the only Illini fan on the left side of the stadium. The other letdown was that Illini fell to Mizzou in the fourth quarter 23-13.
