airline to heaven

it's been a while. i haven't really been doing anything. i've been going to the gym. that's right, i'm huge. muscles on top of muscles. actually i'm starting to wonder how good my body produces muscle, that maybe my body type (frame) won't allow me to hold mass. because i'm lifting the same, if not more, than some ripped dudes in the gym, but i don't look like them. my lanky muscles are squandering my hopes for a chiseled frame.

anyway, you ever heard of an economist called "dr. doom"? well his name is nouriel roubini and i've mentioned him a few times on this blog. here's a write-up about the guy.

so which country holds the most debt as a percentage of GDP? you'd probably guess the united states. you'd be wrong. way wrong. the reason: as a percentage of GDP. in terms of fiscal dollars, yeah, we're holding a lot of debt, but as a percentage of our GDP, we're not in the top ten.

are we finally at a point where suburbia is being questioned? well, high-end suburbia anyway.

england's debt gets downgraded and now we're worried about the same thing happening to us.

i hope everyone enjoys their weekend. i'll be seeing some friends, here and there. take it easy.
