What would you do with 40 billion dollars?
Let me know in the comments section how you would use that kind of money. I would set a scholarship fund for people who dropped out of high school but want to change and commit to college. I would build a house big enough for me and all of dyrph. (i don't expect you to know what that is). It wouldn't have to be extremely extravagant it would however need to be on acres and acres of land for everything i would put on it. I would have a recording studio in the home for our music. I would buy a subaru wrx sti and build it up. After all of that was done i would keep about a hundred million for myself. The rest i would put either into the scholarship fund or i would actively search out people in need. Not to give them a handout but to help them get on their feet and provide them with coaches that can teach them how to better their lives.
Inspirational quotes sayings or pictures
I want you to comment your favorite quotes and pictures in the comments section. I'll start you guys out, Talk about the ones you post as well like why you choose that one. I choose this picture because it reminds me to never give up. When life gets hard you commit dig down and kick some ass.
Why do i succeed?
I succeed because I am willing to do the things you are not.
I will fight against the odds.
I will sacrifice.
I am not shackled by fear, insecurity or doubt.
I feel those emotions but I drink them in and then swallow them away to the blackness of hell.
I am motivated by accomplishment, not pride.
Pride consumes the weak and kills their heart from within.
If I fall... I will get up. If I am beaten... I will return.
I will never stop getting better. I will never give up... EVER.
That is why I succeed.

Grown ups
What do you want to be when you grow up how are you going to get there and why? I would like to be a strength and conditioning coach for college level athletics. I would absolutely love to work with a pro football team but i keep my goals in sight. I have planned out steps on how i am going to get there. Now being a high school drop out i feel like i have to work twice as hard to get there. However i'm going to go to a local community college and get ASE certified to be a personal trainer. As i am working at a gym and learning how to work with people i am going to find some way to go to an actual university. There i will major in physical education. After receiving my degree i will get a job for a high school gym teacher as well as try to coach whatever teams they allow me to take over. From there its a cake walk right? The reason i want to do this is one, fuck a desk job, two i want to help people be all they can be and three, i'll want to lead by example thus i would work myself out as well.
I'm tired of hearing Americans bitch about being fat. Complain about how oh this is way too hard. I want to lose weight but i've never been able to commit to anything in my life. I want to be ripped up like Rambo but working out is way too hard. Well i look at this picture everyday to remind myself that you need to shut the fuck up and train, instead of complaining all the time. I have been working out off and on now for years saying i want to be big i want to be stronger. The off and on part is where i mess up. Do i consider myself to be in shape? Yes especially compared to 85% of Americans, but am i where i want to be? Hell no so i have decided to commit to the gym 100% and i have now set goals for myself. Is it hard yes but it is worth it. Comment with ways hardgainers can build muscle. Comment with your story if you have committed to being a better you. Or comment with why you choose to be out of shape and miserable. Diet tips the whole ten yards. Lets start a discussion here i'm curious as to what you have to say.
Creation?
If you were to create a website what would it be? How would you utilize it? would it be free and saturated with ads like my blog? Would it be a business? How would you design it?
NBA lockout
See NFL lockout. I don't have anything different to say. Give me your salary if you don't want to play a freaking game for millions of dollars. Other people WORK for a living, assholes.
The NFL and the lockout
Now I love football, especially my Broncos, so i'm glad the lockout is over. I do have a lot of beef with the lockout though. Millionaires and billionaires complaining about not having enough money. People who play a game for a living complaining that they work too hard. That all sounds like a bunch of bologna to me. Here are a few numbers for you. Average of $3,226,563 for an NFL coach (that's per year). The minimum salary that an NFL player can make is $295,000 per year. Veteran players had an average of about 17 million dollars in 2009. Some of the lower owners in the NFL. Owners who appear on the 2010 Forbes list: Malcom Glazer 2.4 billion, Jerry Jones 1.8 billion. The average police patrol officers salary is around $50,000 a year. I don't see them going on a lockout and they risk their lives for other people. These athletes play a game for millions of dollars. I'm thinking there are plenty of other things they can do with that money. If the lockout had stayed maybe they money that the players would have earned could have gone to feeding people that need it? Maybe sending people to school? Perhaps a tax refund here in the united states? The next time millionaires complain about not making enough money I want their boss to give me their salary. I could literally live the rest of my life on Peyton Mannings salary and live comfortably. I understand you worked hard to get where you are and i'm not taking that away from you (NFL players). I just think you should take a look around before you complain about money.
Bill Gates and Education
Now i myself have made plenty of mistakes. The biggest one to date, I dropped out of high school. Not only did i drop out but after obtaining my G.E.D i never applied for any type of scholarship. Now that i am a little bit older i realize just how detrimental this has and will be on my life. Bill Gates is big on education and improving Americas public schools. As well as offering scholarships to kids who are looking to continue their education. I respect everything that he does as far as that goes, but what about the dropouts? What about the people who are passed that window of opportunity? I would love to go to school and realize my dreams of having a degree in physical education. However there is no way i can afford to go to a university full time. I don't think people should just be handed things they haven't earned but a little help would be nice. Asking the state for money isn't always sufficient, and our country is in debt as it is. So why not have a contest where you choose one to five people a year who need some help? They could write letters about their story why they want to go to school where they want to go to school and why they deserve it. Then Mr. Gates could pull some strings with some private investors for a different type of scholarship fund and send these people to school. Perhaps call it something like the second start scholarship. Allow these people some help as well if you are going to talk to us about education. Fix the public schools yes help children get to college yes but throw some hope out there for the people like me.
