He certainly earned it, that film looked grueling to make.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.

The journey they took to make it was made into a 45 minute documentary. I've watched some of it, this was no easy shoot as we already knew. It was tough and candy asses need not apply.

It was a great movie.

As an unrelated aside: do NOT see the Witch. Pure shit. Awful, awful movie.

He's hugely talented and has been nominated for an Academy Award five times. Go Leo!

Oh Books.

This is my latest. It's a real page turner. Unfortunately I skipped to the end, turns out the Buy-Side Valuation did it. Really ruins the plot.

Well, Cutz, it could get worse (or better, depending on your views).

This might just become become state-mandated MBA reading material within the next two years.

OR, you might be able to check it out of the library at your tuition-free university...

Are you about half way through the program now?

We're in the internship period, so I'm working for the city budget office. Building a priority based budget. Been fun, very interesting. The banking book is for an M&A elective I'm taking.

You're jamming.

The internship sounds like a great opportunity to apply what you're studying, even better that you're having fun with it.

Ps: I can see a resemblance to Dicaprio when you have longer hair and facial hair. It would be more obvious if you donned the man bun, but please don't.

I pre-ordered Philip Rucker's new book, A Very Stable Genius. Man. trump really called some of his top military brass "dopes" and "babies". I saw one review refer to the book as like a comic horror story.

They are probably the same as quite a few lifetime politicians. Those positions usually have nothing to do with Battle veterans,

General Dunford & General Mattis have a lifetime of battle experience but I'm unsure why that would matter in the context that you presented. The draft dodging nitwit in chief is treating those who have sacrificed for our country like shit. Why in the world would you justify that as if their experience in battle would make a difference in how they are treated? trump dodged the draft 5 times, he received 5 military deferments and said his own personal war was avoiding STD's during that time.

I've read the stand but not swan song it was a kinda long book. I just finished reading Ratman about Whitey Bulger, he was one bad apple.
