Be Like LeBron (And Make People Mad)

Aaron Marcelli | July 9, 2010

Writing a blog post about Lebron James got me a lot of hits and comments earlier so I might as well ride that train again.  Last night on ESPN “The King” broke the hearts of everyone in my home state of Ohio when he announced that he would be moving to Miami to play with [...]

How I Would Sign LeBron James

Aaron Marcelli | June 7, 2010

There is a lot of buzz in professional basketball world about free agent Lebron James and which team he will play for next season.  After the Cleveland Cavs were dismissed early from the playoffs I was 90% sure James would play somewhere not in Ohio next year.  After hearing Lebron and others talk though, I [...]

Lessons From Sports (part 1)

Aaron Marcelli | February 28, 2010

The Atlanta Hawks are the closest professional basketball team to where I live.  I love the NBA!  I would go to as many games as I could for any team.  I went to a lot of hawks games even when they were bad and though they are not my favorite basketball club, I have grown [...]

Men Of A Certain Age…..and me

Aaron Marcelli | January 12, 2010

I have mentioned on this site before that I am someone who sees meaning and a message behind everything.  Those who know me well are aware that I can become emotional over about anything.  Now, I don’t blog to be a media critic or give music or tv reviews, but when something touches me, I [...]

Freedom In America

Aaron Marcelli | December 17, 2009

A few days ago I watched Barbara Walter’s end of the year special where she lists the year’s ten most fascinating people. I was honestly pretty board with the list as it included no actors, few entertainers, and only one sports athlete. I really did not care that much to hear interviews with Jenny Sanford, [...]

A Million Miles Comes To Chattanooga

Aaron Marcelli | November 22, 2009

Last night Katy and I went to see Donald Miller on the last stop of his speaking tour entitled a million miles in a thousand years.  I was impressed with the hundreds of coffee shop culture young adults who showed up not for a concert, but a lecture.  There was an atmosphere of emergence and [...]

Have vs. Say

Aaron Marcelli | August 19, 2009

I learned this principle, believe it or not, while watching a stand up routine from Chris Rock.  Through his explicative-laced rant about race, religion, and politics, I picked up on a nugget of content that taught a deep truth.  He said that you can either have or you can say. Now I have to admit [...]

If I Won It Big

Aaron Marcelli | August 6, 2009

A couple of posts ago I mentioned how this year for the first time in my life I purchased a lottery ticket.  I did not hit it big and have not fallen into the addiction of spending my money on this weekly, but as the Georgia lottery jackpot crawls ever closer to 200 million dollars, [...]
