Its Always Sunny In USC

I would have to say that getting married and starting a family was the most difficult challenge I had ever faced. Prior to my wife, I have never been in a relationship before. I was selfish with my time. I worked, exercised, and lived life. I would go where I wanted to go, when I wanted to go, for however long I wanted. I was free. Then one day at work, I met the most beautiful women I have ever laid eyes on. Someone, who after talking to, I knew I wanted in my life. We went out a few times and eventually started dating. Next thing I knew, two years had flown by, we were engaged. Now, some married men around me tried to explain how my life will change. How I will have to learn patience. That I would have to learn compromise. Of course, I knew it all. I told them I have patience. I know how to compromise. We married shortly after and moved in together. Now this was something new to me. I had two brothers growing up. My poor mom was surrounded by boys. Before marriage, I never under...

Marijuana: Schedule 1 Drug or Medical Miracle Educate Yourself Heroin! LSD! Ecstasy! Quaalude! Peyote! Marijuana. All these drugs are in the same category as a schedule 1 drug. That’s right; Marijuana is in the same category as heroin. The same category as LSD.  According to the DEA, a Schedule I controlled substance has “no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.” No medical use? Are you serious? Where do I begin? Pharmaceutical Monopoly Scientists are in a catch 22 situation. With the lack of research, the government has not been willing to re-categorize marijuana to a schedule 2 or schedule 3 drug. Because it is still a schedule 1 drug, scientists are unable to test the drug on humans and this makes it extremely difficult to provide medical evidence of this miraculous plant to help re-categorize it from a schedule 1 drug. Sanjay Gupta, MD is a medical Correspondent for CNN. He wrote an article called, It’s Time for a Medical Marijuana ...

Growing a Farmer Part 2 Thoughts I liked the book overall. It should’ve ended after the second chapter; I feel it pretty much summed up the book and the rest was details that should’ve been left out. I like the fact that he was a successful business owner multiple times but he ended up doing what he loves. If people were interested in farming and wanted to understand what it takes to be a real farmer. I also think it was funny that he named his cow Dinah because of the nursery rhyme. I also find it crazy that bees die off during delivery and during the winter, I thought that was crazy. Kurt definitely loved the fact of doing his work on his time. He connected to the farming life and he made it through the tough times to be able to enjoy the good. I definitely didn’t like the slaughterhouse chapter; I feel the book didn’t need that chapter. He should’ve narrowed down what he wanted to talk about and set a better timeline of the specific information. It was too unorganized. I re...

Lies Lies & More Lies According to the DEA, a Schedule I controlled substance has “no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.” No medical use? Are you serious?

Kate Pickert wrote an article called Pot Kids , which explains how medical marijuana helps children with epileptic seizures, causing children to have up to two hundred seizures a day. These kids have been prescribed so many different drugs but none of them seem to help. Dr. Orrin Devinsky, head of the comprehensive Epilepsy Center at New York University said, “We’ve introduced a dozen new drugs in the past twenty years, but it’s not clear we’ve made significant advance in the treatment of drug-resistant epil...

Nick Valle Writing 340 Professor Hansen Growing a Farmer Kurt Timmermeister was a server and felt he could do better than the bosses he worked for. He felt he was ready and able to do it on his own. So Kurt does it, he opens his own his own little restaurant, a 10x20 ft. little restaurant with only four tables. He then follows the path of the American Dream and buys his own land with a house and a pool. It wasn’t the best land. In fact, a dumpy place which has dropped in price.

Hotel NoTell I really enjoy what I do for a living. As a Food & Beverage Manager, I tend to see some pretty weird and crazy stuff working at a hotel in L.A. Some days are great and some days are wild but it rarely gets boring. It's a job but it’s not my career of choice. It’s more of a back-up career for me. I am responsible for the day-to-day duties throughout my hotel. A typical day for me includes coming into work and immediately walking each department. I check to make sure everything is running, as it should. Even though I am an F&B Manager, I am also one of the main managers in the hotel, so I am responsible for ensuring each department is running smoothly. I then pull the reports from the previous day to check occupancy and sales. As every job has it's boring tasks you have to complete, my job is no different. Some of the boring but important duties I do include: Creating and updating market survey's on our competitors’ prices, discount rates and pr...
