Be All You Can Be
Using a cliche statement like the title above is really the best way to describe what this article is about. Some people feel that they are limited by their environment, knowledge, and or general circumstances to change up their scenario. But if you want to overcome those fears you must have a plan of attack to break out or make it where you want to go.

Comments »They are finding bodies left and right
Comments »It’s so bad here, a lot worse than how its being portrayed by the media. They are finding bodies left and right, elderly people who don’t even watch the news or who knew the storm was coming. I was just with one of my best friends from high school and college, and his house is completely gone. One story I heard was about this one guy who evacuated his house during Hurricane Irene but then it got looted. So when they told him to evacuate for Sandy, he said, ‘I’m not leaving.’ Now they can’t find him, his 13-year-old daughter is dead, and his wife is in critical condition at the hospital. These are the stories. My stepfather and my mother, I love them to death. But when they heard the storm was coming, they said, ‘It’s not going to be that bad. Irene didn’t do anything.’ They had two flashlights and a couple of scented candles. Little did they know. It’s just not worth it. If you’re told to evacuate, you need to get out.

‘IF POLICE WEREN’T HERE SOMEBODY WOULD BE DEAD
Comments »“If the police wasn’t here somebody would be dead,” she said, noting the desperation of people in the aftermath of Sandy. “People would be shooting.”
Michael Wasilewski, 48, of the Bronx, also drove around for two hours before coming across the Harlem gas station.
“I’ve been driving around for hours,” he said as he got $75 worth of gas just after midnight on Friday. He filled up his car, and also picked up some extra gas for his wife’s car.
“I’ve never been so happy in my life,” he said. “It’s the little things that you take for granted. My wife is a nurse, and I gotta take her to work in the morning.”
Livery cab driver Rich Loza, 33, was in line at W. 130th St. and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd., but he decided he would take his chances elsewhere.
“It’s horrible,” the Bronx native said. “The city should have been ready for this.”

Was out all day doing stuff. Sorry for no updates. I see the markets did not follow through after yesterday’s rally. NOT GOOD.
At any rate, cheers on your weekend.
