Day: November 4, 2009

Mike Bloomberg is mayor.

Mike Bloomberg got his third term as mayor. My dad is pissed. What it means for him, is more parking tickets and stricter violation punishments.  He feels like Mike Bloomberg is a “blood-sucker” who preys on blue collar workers who depend on driving commercial vehicles to work everyday. Throughout the years, he’s been hit with violations that threaten his earnings in his line of work.

        I personally am not that involved in politics, but I know that many people are angry at Bloomberg for squeezing their wallets to try to fill the city’s deficit. I can see that people aren’t happy. What’s your view on Bloomberg?

Midterm miseries

      Boy, are we caught in the throes of pre-Thanksgiving stress. It’s like the dam just broke and we are being hit with a wave after wave of mindnumbing, slightly challenging, and utterly confusing assignments as well as tests that determine a large portion of our grade. Well guys, this is the time where the nerds are separated from the slackers.  Which side with you pick? 

       In either case only a couple of weeks stand between us and freedom. For the survivors, there will be peace … and boredom. 

Here’s a quote from Arnold Schwarzenegger for good measure:

“The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That’s what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they’ll go through the pain no matter what happens.” -Arnold Schwarzenegger

Amusing, this is the same person who said :

“Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer.” -Arnold Schwarzenegger
