We are individually different, yet mostly the same


When I got home tonight, I remembered the question that Sal posed to us.... "Is our school really all the same?" He used the word snoody, but I would disagree with the word choice. I believe for all of the awe inspiring messages we get from the administration, we are all very very similar. If you look at the demographics of our school nearly 3/4 are white students and there is a huge jewish population. We all live in an affluent area. Most of us have IPODs. Most of us have the newest clothes and material goods. So then truly what seperates us? I believe we may be all the "same" but yet what we stand for and who personally we have become seperates us. Also, personal accomplishments should count for more than material wealth (aka that new ipod).

Can you believe it?!?!?!


Joseph Robinette "Joe" Biden Jr. Ya thats his name I really can't make that up. I can't believe he was chosen after all the anti-Obama campaigning. Sure he has the foreign service experience, and sure he's been around for a "while", but does he have the neccessary "Cohonays" to be the Vice President of the United States? The VP has three big responsibilities. The first is to be in good health in case the president is in poor health... (Obama looks pretty healthy) check. The second is to break the tie in the senate.... (A tie has only happened a hand full of times in the last few decades) ok check. The third is in case he is impeached a replacement needs to be named... (At the rate our politicians are being impeached and charged hm....i guess thats a check.... Therefore according to these three jobs he must hold, Joe Biden seems like a very respectable choice to take on the extremely hard job of the VP.

Behind the Thug lyfe


I guess to start I'm not very "ghetto". To piss off Sal, I'll be home around 7:30 pm at my house at 123 Green Street. Anyways, I play center for our hockey team. Ya we are gonna win the ship this year (as long as every other team sucks). I enjoy reading a good book, and my three favorite movies would have to be Batman: Dark Knight, V for Vendetta, and the Last King of Scotland. Hm... what else to say... My favorite bands are probably Nickelback, Linkin Park, and Three Days Grace. The biggest influences in my life would have to be my parents, but also MLK Jr. and Ghandi. I guess the biggest goal in my life is to leave the world a better place than I came into. I know that sounds very philisophical, but its true..... Ok thats all for now....Peace Out
