You live in NYC?! Nice, glad I'm not the only Raven here! I live near the WTC, hbu?
Adorabel cat footage in the snow! http://www.( profanity deleted).co.uk/news/uk-21088766
How have you been lately? I've heard you've been quite occupied with work.
I'm also in school! Just got 100 on my Calculus final! Having a double major must be stressful. I'm probably going to end up with 1 major and 2 minors.
If you can get that math down and packed you can just about tackle any subject no problem. I highly recommend going to college and seeking a "career" and not a 9-5 job based on a "trade". Get a job asap in your field and go to school (at least part-time, etc...) until you get your PhD. You'll never want for anything after that.

I'm looking ahead to graduating in 3 years an then getting my master's.
What are some of your favorite books, since you bring it up?
Uh, I hated "Catcher" no offense. Sheer 50s-sensationalism. Never read "22" or "Two". Gatsby was pretty good, but I'm not in love with it. The Fire and Ice books are too long for even my tastes, lol! Love the TV series, though. A huge LOTR fan, read all 4 books multiple times. Same applies for Harry Potter.
If I had to recommend one book, it would be "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire. The play was based on it, but it's 1000 times better. Very dark political satire.
Since you love "The Great Gatsby":
I like your 4 F's!
I surmise from your username and "About Me" blurb that you're an economist, no?
Yep. Work as a govt. controller. Basically do budget projections for small local business that works with health dept ![]()
So you must have an informed opinion on the healthcare crisis and Obama's healthcare plan, then. Care to share your 2 cents?
What's it like in gorgeous Amsterdam? I hope the tourists don't bother you too much!
Yeah, I see that. Weird. I already forgot what I said, but I wasn't being disrespectful at all if you were wondering.
No offense taken! I'm inspired by the freedom found in Western Europe!
I didn't know about your drinking age. In the US, it's been 21 since 1984. Mothers Against Drunk Driving worked together with President Reagan to pass the National Minimum Drinking Age Act.
How have you been lately, I haven't seen you in a minute?!
You been to any plays?
Plays, no. Not my thing. You a broadway fan?
A casual fan. I try to go to the 2 best plays every year. I like plays more than musicals.
What would you do if you controlled the hapless young Wizards?
Haha. Well theres so much, if I started right now I would wait for Wall to come back (I heard he will be on Saturday) - See how that plays out.
In the offseason I would fire GM Leonis, fire Wittman.
Get a new GM, (Hopefully a OKC Thunder assistant, someone who works in that organization). And try too hire a good headcoach who has an atleast decent resume unike Wittman does. Whether thats bench coach or a college HC. I would pretty much stay out of FA.
I would use th...
Wow, I wrote so much and more then half of it didn't show. ![]()
I guess theres a limit dammit! I'm tired though, if you want I'll discuss this with you tomorrow in the nba thread or PM. It doesn't matter to me. I pissed off I wrote alot! Let me know if you can see it.
Debates aside, I hope to see you here on the Board for many seasons to come! You're a pretty knowledgeable and reasonable member.
How'd you become a Ravens fan in Browns/Bengals country?
Perfectly reasonable. I would imagine quite a few Ohioans followed suit?
(sorry for the late reply) actually not too many. The Plain dealer and other Ohio news medias really made Art look like a villian. Its almost impossible to find any Ravens stuff here in Ohio.
Yep, Modell always caught a lot of flack for his business decision.
You're going to become a Hall of Famer soon! Congratulations! You're one the Board's most insightful posters, too.
The culmination of one of the most one-sided arguments ever! http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/topic/50209-the-post-apocalypse-dump-thread/page__st__880
He's crazy. They aren't going anywhere without Allen. Not to mention Rondo's immaturity.
He thinks Cousins = guaranteed title
Cousins is the NBA's Ochocinco! ![]()
