The Dream is Rowing to Rio 2016. But first I plan to make the Varsity eight boat at Syracuse UNiversity then make the Under 23 National Team before qualifiying for the Olympics on the M4x. I am going to make it. If you dont think I can please tell me. It will only fuel me more. I hope to see the world and everything in it before writing an autobiography and my first novel in some random country sailing day in and day out.

Texas
I grew up in the ghetto in a small city in Louisville Kentucky where it was blatantly racist. My family has hhad to deal with racism since we came to this country. Yet, I have never been more surprised to see tha Dalls Texas is worse than Louisville, Kentucky. The poverty within the city and the obvious mistrust by the Dallas police department has changed my view about our justice system. I can honestly say that I would never want to live in Texas.

Chomsky vs. Foucalt
Noam Chomsky was talking about how humanity has this need to create and is free and self created. Chomsky had the positive view of the two. He saw humanity as being free of all forms of control and that we are autonomous in our everyday lives. We decide what to create and why we want to live.
Foucalt believed that humanity was not free but actually subject to control. He believed that we are controlled through the institutions. The Institutions are not indifferent when it comes to control. They define and arrange the socialization of human nature through the way we live day in and day out. There is no escape from the institutions they have a never ending gaze that watches and shapes us infinitely.
Both parties are equally matched. They realize that it is not an argument but a debate. They recognize the fact that they disagree but instead of trying to force one anothers views down the others throats they casually take the time to spell out their argument piece by piece and try and win the other over. Its almost like they are trying to soothe each other rather than blacken the eye of their contemporary. There is no hostility between them. They just wish to trade views and understand as much as possible why the other feels one way.
