Its time for a financial change

“Even timid Japanese are finally starting to push for change,”( Miku Ohkura)
Everyone seems to be getting upset at rich people and bad financial decisions made by them.
It seems that people have had way too much faith on the rich and forgot to realize that they are no different than you and me, except that they make more money than most Americans.
Upon reading an article on the New York Times, I am again enraged at how the rich are being taken care of. Under different circumstances would the people who are rich be able to do what they are doing now? If they were raised in a poverty stricken neighborhood or (just to come out and say) it without the silver spoon in their mouths would they have been able to get to where they are now, would they be no different from both you and me? I am tackling two different subjects here, but I see them as one. Why should they get all these benefits because they make 7 more figured than I do? In the end of the day they are also human. It is time that we need to think about what we need as a country rather than what we want. So many companies are out there to make the next buck,trying to come with new products that make people rush to the stores and for what? We have decent looking houses for outrageous prices. Why? WHy can't we simple? I don't mean to go back and life the "simple" ways of the 50's and 60's but just live simple, not get everything that is out there because it is cool but because it is something we need. We need to show the banks that as a new generation we are responsible and are thinking about our future un like the rich financial slobs that live their upscale,pricey lifestyle.

32.....with friends...and just that!!

All in a day but it was much longer than that...PT 2

After attending the first half of the field-trip I managed to escape barely with my eyes open. Realizing as great as history is , I never really like the 1500 era or anything that had to do with the "Declaration of Independence" We make it down towards Quincy Market. which is located in Downtown Crossing right next to City Hall. It is a local tourist attraction although locals can't help but be attracted to it as well; but who can blame them with all the eateries, shows, and events, the random performances, name brand stores, and beautiful view of the Big Dig Bridge. If you are there on Fridays and Saturdays you can enjoy the beautiful and wonderful world of Farers Market. Where you can buy fruits and Veggies for a dirt cheap price. Being drawn back to the reality that I was in a field trip and I had to chaperone my students I draw their attention to a large statu of Sam Adams. I get them to gather there for a class pic, I get them to make space so we can see the name"Samuel Adams"; I salute this for the great beer it produces and my students have no idea what I am doing. After a couple of snapshops and silly pics. We are then led by an enticing aroma of high fructose and fried goods towards the food court. As we open the large glass doors to see a vast hallway of fast food; stunned in amazement we had to get the students to move but once we had their motors running we lost them. Literally no more than 2 seconds later we had not one of out students in plain sight.
My co-worker and I decided to then do the same, walk around and see what to get to eat. Your mind tends to wander as you walk around picturing yourself eating everything you see, trying out the different flavors.hmm just the thought of it makes me hungry. From time to time you do hear that voice of reason telling you 2 things"You're gonna get fat" and Its to pricey. I ended up getting some low mein from an everyday chinese fast food joint. Which surprised many of the students with us even the Chinese ones because they never thought I would know how to use chopsticks..because they cant use chopsticks. In the end looking at all the people wandering around, not paying attention to their left or right, aimlessly bumping into people I realize a few things. One being how much I wish you were there with me to people watch, enjoy local fast food not matter how pricey or greasy it is and too take pictures of the distracted people who are walking around. I miss you.. I love you
