The Good, Bad, and Ugly

GOOD
NBA - The Chicago Bulls overcome the Lebron and the Cavs 86-85.  Rose with 14 points and 11 assists adds another double double, as he keeps adding to his resume. Lets go Bulls!



BAD
Has anyone been following the news lately? Oh dear, another shooting but surprisingly at a army base Fort Hood.  Psychiatrist and Major Nidal Malik Hasan has been identified as the gunman.  Fatalities include 12 dead and 31 wounded.  Possible causes for the shootings have been linked to Hasan feeling "mortified" and also having terrorist extremists connections.  I seriously doubt he had terrorist connections, God Bless all those who were involved, suspect and victims alike.



UGLY actually VERY UGLY
Hard to believe but this topped the BAD for today.  Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon (Band) perform on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.  To be completely honest, this was pretty bad.  While the band played a rock style track, you could listen to Yoko Ono making hysterical laughing noises and monkey sounds.  This was so incredibly bad that I yet cannot find an image or a clip of the performance.  God Bless you too Yoko Ono.

Also, we have raised over $50 the past few days for Compassion International.  Please continue to support our campaign and click on the ads frequently.  Thank You

POLITICS - NYC and more!

(November 3rd)
My favorite Late Night talk show host Jimmy Fallon suprisingly did the introduction for incumbent and victor Michael Bloomberg for his third consecutive term as Mayor.




If anyone wants to know, (I) Bloomberg marginally ousted (D) Thompson to continue being mayor of NYC.  Makes you wonder if Bloomberg would have still won if he hadn't spent $100 million of his own cash, compared to Thompson's campaign costs of only $8 million.

Also today was a good day for republicans.  The majority of moderates voted for the GOP in the Gubernatorial race for the Garden State (Christie) and in Virginia (McDonnell).  Where are thou, Obama nation?

To top it all off, Bubba vs Dubya, thats right, heavyweights Bill Clinton vs George W. Bush will go at it through debate on Feb 25th at Radio City.  Tickets will be on sale soon!





What does politics matter anyhow, back to organic chemistry and my dreams of becoming a MD.

TAKE A BREAK!

This is something everyone should checkout! Forklift causes over $100,000 liquor collapse.
Personally I'd hate to be this guy, could there have been better use of all that booze?

Anyhow, I came across this clip of Arte's comedic appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon




Haven't laughed this hard in a while, anyhow anyone down for a trip to NYC?

Final Lap

SO! Halloween is over, the day to celebrate America's love of obesity and excuse to wear offensive attire HAH! Sadly to say, I woke up around 5:30 pm, and started the day by "visiting" the weight room.

HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY: Free Burritos at Chipotle!
LIKE WOAH! Who doesn't like a free 900KCal Burrito. I've had a craving for the past few weeks for chipotle, and the hour of wait for my free (2) burrito, was most definitely worth it.


BEAR DOWN!
Only if DA CHICAGO BEARS offensive line was half-decent. Kickoff is at 12:00CT, vs the Cleveland Browns at Soldier Field! This would be most satisfying if they do win and obviously a great way to start what is to come.


What is to Come
So.... Absolutely nothing fun in the forecast for the next few months or so. My life-dar involves a month of misery before the ending of this semester. 5 chapters of ORGO left, 2 Research Papers, etc. I even quit facebook just so I could even have a chance to pull off the infamous 4.0! Also quitting online poker, turned $4.50 into over $80 before just losing it again. I've lost the last 4 hands I've had pocket A's! Definitely do not have time for cards any more.

Keep Keeping ON?!?!
I (volunteer - cws) tutor 4 days a week at 2 different locations, and I absolutely love the kids that are involved in my life! It's even better when you like to hear some comments such as "I like you better than the other tutors" or the different children trying to claim you as their tutor! Awesome Feeling
