Game Reviews


Assassins Creed 1: So for the past few days I have been on an Assassins Creed kick. The game is fun but it’s really slow at times. I love the aspect of playing as an ancient assassin and I love the whole story. Myself being a history buff I love the historical things they throw into the game. The game ends with you killing your master who taught you the art of killing. This was a great ending to the story. Assassins Creed 1 is a great game and I love the history references


Borderlands: I have heard some stories about this game and it got great reviews, but I am going to be completely honest, I just could not get into that game. It seems so pointless and I just don’t see myself sitting down and playing that game for a good chunk of time. Maybe it’s because of the character I picked (hunter) but I could just not get into the game. If you want to play it, you need a tolerance for pointless killing, and no immediate plot line what so ever.


Batman Arkham Asylum: For the past couple years; the Batman saga has been a big hit. Batman Begins was a huge movie for modern day D.C fans, and the groundbreaking Dark Knight was raved about for months, and was one of the few action movies whose sequel was better than the first. Now the new game, Batman Arkham Asylum is out, and all I can say is wow. Even though the game doesn’t follow the new movies in terms of character looks and actions, it is an awesome game. It is original Batman at its finest. The Batman that little kids dreamed about and the Batman that has been the poster child for D.C comics for more than 70 years is back. The game takes place in Arkham Asylum where the criminally insane are held such as Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, and Scarecrow. Joker has taken over and now all of the inmates are running freely throughout the island, and Batman is the only one that can stop them. On top of the authenticity of the game, the graphics and game-play are top of the line. If you are looking for a modern day game with a touch of classic comic, Batman Arkham Asylum should be your first pick.


NCAA Basketball 2010: Sports games are always fun especially college ones. You have the chance to become your favorite school and lead them to victory. The game is self explanatory in terms of game play, and it has a feel of realism in the game. Before every game it shows who is broadcasting it such as ESPN or NBC and there are different announcers for each station. Even that small thing makes you feel even more into the game. The game also features the hardest places to play. For example, my team (UNC) has the hardest place to play, so if the other team is trying to make a shot or free throw and they are away, then the screen will shake and if it is happening to you, your controller will vibrate like crazy. This makes the game seem more real and for that, I thank the guys over at EA sports that made this game. If you are looking for a good basketball game this year, consider NCAA Basketball 2010.

The Superest Super Hero/ Fighter Plane Pilot/Italian Baker
Danny Brumar
Now what exactly is the Superest Super Hero/Fighter Plane Pilot/Italian Baker you may be asking yourself? Well he is the king of all kings; the fighter of all fighters; baker of all bakers. He was Longbranch. Longbranch Pennywhistle. But to those who knew him or knew of his doing, he was Admiral Lightning Bolt.
Our story begins with the good Admiral putting in a fresh batch of Italian bread. His thick side kick Rommel was standing next to him. Rommel resembled a something of a misshapen moose, and if he were a moose, his name would be Mike, or perhaps Montel. Yes-Montel the Moose- that sounds delightful. So as Longbranch was putting the bread in, he heard his phone ringing in the back. He rushed to get the ringing phone. As he did this Rommel sprinted to a batch of freshly baked bread and shoveled it into his oversized mouth, something which angered the Admiral very much. It wasn’t so much that he was eating the food, it was that he got spit all over the table, and I’m not taking like a little bit here and there; I’m talking EVERYWHERE. I’m telling you it was not a pretty sight. It was like aqua man had been riding a whale or something through their, or someone was crying or something like that, my point is there was a LOT of spit. So when Longbranch returned, you would think that he’d be upset or something of that nature; he wasn’t. He had a strange look on his face, like he’d seen a ghost-a big scary ghost that resembled Lady Gaga without makeup just scarier- so Rommel’s whipped sidekick instincts kicked in and he asked
“What’s wrong boss?”
“Well Rommel…” he began, “my mothers in town, and don’t get me wrong, I love my mommy, its just she never approves of the girls I date and you know that girl I’m dating right?”
“Shaniqua?” he answered
“Ya,” he said, “and I really like her. I’m just worried what my mother will say.”
“Hmmmmmmm” Rommel thought quietly to himself, “you’ve certainly got yourself in a pickle. And its not a good pickle like a dill, it’s a yucky one.”
“I know” said the Admiral
“Hey wait just one darn second here,” said Rommel, why don’t you introduce your lady friend to your mom, and if she doesn’t approve you can get your mom into some sticky situation like stuck in a vat of molasses or something like that, and you wont be able to save her, and your girl will just happen to come around a save her.”
“Rommel that’s so crazy it just might work.”
“Thank you sir.”
“Your quite welcome” Longbranch said, “oh and Rommel.”
“Yes sir.” He said back
“Nobody likes a suck up.”
“Yes sir.” He said with disappointment.

A few days later…
“HELP!!!!!!!!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!” shrieked Mrs.
Pennywhistle from a vat of bubbling molasses.
“Ill save you!” came a voice from the shadows. It was Shaniqua, ready to save Mrs. Pennywhistle from the bubbling vat. She reached out and grabbed her hand. The deed was done, Mrs. Pennywhistle was safe, and Shaniqua was a hero. Admiral Lightning Bolt came rushing through the door with his fuchsia, skin tight suit and orange cape.
“Mother!!!!” he yelled, “y-your alive”
“OOOOOOO you best believe it boy, and its not thanks to you. Your lucky this FFFFIIIINNNNEEE gal of yours was here or id be baked into cookies and devoured by overweight adolescents watching there hippety hoppety rap videos and listening to the Jay Digetty and Snoop Puppy Dog and what not. OOOOOO boy I oughta slap you into last week.”

“Sorry mommy…” mumbled the Admiral as his mother dragged him out of the molasses warehouse by his ears going on and on with something about rap and child hood obesity.

The Battle



It was the first day of school, and when I went into my Global Ed class, a kid was sitting behind me named Dan. That was my name. I looked at him, and for some odd reason, I just didn’t like his face. It somewhat angered me. I had to do something about this new found foe, and war was the only option. I quickly rallied up some troops and gave the announcement that there would be a great battle against the one they called Dan. I told them that we take no prisoners, and show no mercy. I pulled out my lance and M16 and shot 3 shots into the air, and gave a vicious war cry, and my troops cried out in response. Suddenly, one of my troops fell dead. “WHAT?!?!?!?!” I cried in astonishment. “They shoot without warning.”
“Actually sir,” one of my troops said “it was those bullets that you shot into the air”
“Oh,” I said “carry on.” So we geared up, and entered the battlefield. The one the call Dan was standing in the middle of the field. I walked up to the giant, and said, “So the rules are clear?”
“Yes” he replied”no kicking, scratching, or hair pulling”
“Super” I said,” let’s do this.” We backed up about 30 yards, and then each of us charged. We met on the battlefield, and the fighting began. I saw the one they call Dan picking people up and eating them. I swung wildly with my lance and pumped some of Dan’s soldier’s full of led. Soon, everyone on the field was dead or injured. The only ones left were me and my foe. I pulled my Desert Eagle out of my pocket, and he pulled out a Glock. We both closed our eyes and started firing blindly. When it was done, neither of us had been hit. We both threw our arms up and put each other in a bear hug. He dragged me to the ground and I started slapping him.
“Wait,” I stopped slapping him,” why are we fighting again.”
“I don’t know” he said.
“Alright” I said, “hey, want to go get some lunch.”
“Sure” he said.
So we got up, hugged, and walked away with leprauchauns dancing around us majesticly

Avatar


Last weekend I went and saw the movie Avatar. It was about former Marine Jake Sully who had lost the use of his legs, went to a far off galaxy to a small moon called Pandora, which America had colonized. He takes the role of his brother’s avatar, which is a body that your mind enters, and the body is very similar to the Na’vi people on Pandora. The people were great warriors and were very strong, and had many connections to almost everything around them. The Na’vi’s home is on a huge deposit of unobtanium, a very rare mineral that sells for 2 million dollars an ounce on Earth.
This movie is very much like South Africa. The Na’vi people’s home land was colonized, much like the Zulu and the Xhosa, and once they found out that there was a fortune to be made (unobtanium in Avatars case, and gold and diamonds in South Africa’s case) they started to push the native people off their land.
I think that this movie, really says something about how much not so much America, but the whole world has pushed peaceful native people off of their land, just because they were short on money. I think Avatar was a great movie, not just because of the special effects and action, but because it should open the eyes of people, because just because that natives can look and act different, they are still people, and they should be treated so.

In the movie, Jake gives information about Hometree (the Na’vi’s home) to Colonel Miles Quaritch, a ruthless military leader who only cares about money, and has no regard for the native people. Jake did it because the Colonel promised him he’d get his legs back if he cooperated so he did. Finally, Jake wakes up and sees that this is wrong, but it’s too late. The Americans attacked home tree and tore it down. It killed almost all the Na’vi and Jake had the people fight back. It worked, and the Americans left, and Jake left his human body forever.

Semester Reflection


This semester, I definitely grew a lot as a writer, reader and I have even gotten better at analyzing things at a more critical level of thinking.


One thing I definitely improved on was my writing, as in establishing a connection between me and the reader, using ETHOS and PATHOS. One thing I did was in the
letter to the U.N, I said that if they didn’t do anything to stop the genocide, they would have had the deaths of thousands of people on their hands. I would never have been able to establish that kind of connection before this year. Also I have gotten better grades in my writing. At the beginning of the year, I got a C+ on a paper that I spent a very long time doing. Ever since then, I had also gotten C+’s, but I knew I could do better, and on the last piece I wrote, I got a B.


This semester, I also grew as a reader. I feel my comprehension has grown greatly, and an example would be the American Scholar by Ralph Waldo Emerson. It was easily of the most difficult pieces of writing I have ever read, and it took me quite a while to grasp it, but I eventually did.


Our debates this year were very interesting, and I feel I learned a lot from them. I especially learned that your own point of view could be wrong if you looked at it from another person’s perspective, especially in the Rwandan Genocide Debate. I saw that in the case of the Belgians, they thought France was at fault, but for the French, it was completely the opposite.


I also learned a lot about researching, and how credible your sources need to be. For example, I found out one thing about the genocide on BBC, but I found something completely different on a different, non credible website. I found out that it is better to use the more credible website.


Lastly, I learned how to analyze things on a different level, like The Man in the Well for example. At first glance, it seemed like a basic piece of writing, but if you stopped to look at it, and try looking at it from a different perspective, there was a lot more to it.


So like I said I learned a ton this semester, and I will carry that with me all the way through high school and throughout the rest of my life.

Im an Aborigine

If I had to choose a country to be a native from, I would be an Aborigine from Australia.
Although the Aborigine culture may have been wiped out, when it comes right down to it, the Aborigines had it the best out of all of them. I would choose this because you wouldn’t have had to been a slave, or you would not have been killed because your ruling country had put you in a random group of people or have been wiped out by small pox.
If you had lived in South Africa, or America, you would have been pushed off your land just for money. The Native Americans were pushed off for farmland and for more of the European people. In South Africa, you would have been pushed off for your gold and diamonds.
If you were in Rwanda, you would have either been treated very well, possibly having your best friends be your slaves only to have them turn on you and hack you to death with machetes, or you would have been treated like dirt for a long period of time, and then hacking people to death in the streets with a machete.
Like I said, the Aborigines did have some tough times, but id rather be one of them then a native from any of those other places

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 has easily the best ending to a game. If you don’t know the game, it takes place in America in the future and it takes you through the role of Gary “Roach” Sanderson “Soap” MacTavish, and James Ramirez. As you play, you go through a series of missions, like blowing up a fuel station on the side of a snowy mountain, to trying to retake Washington D.C from the Russians.


My favorite mission is where you attack a boat from underwater, and have to destroy a bomb. It’s really fun, because it takes a lot of stealth, like pulling a guard under the water to keep him from alerting the other guards.


So the game is amazing, but the true best part, was the end. A corrupt General Sheppard has killed Gary “Roach” Sanderson, a precious member of the British S.A.S. So to avenge his death, you play as “Soap” Mactavish (the main character from the first game) led by Captain Price (your commander from the first game, who is presumed dead, but you rescue him in a previous mission) on a suicide mission to avenge Roach’s death by killing General Sheppard. Towards the end of the mission you get into a boat/helicopter chase after Sheppard. You shoot his chopper down, but you drive your boat off the edge of a water fall. When you get out of the water, you have to try and stab Sheppard, but he jumps and stabs you instead. You fall to the ground, and Sheppard explains why he did what he did. He reloads his pistol, points it at your head, and right as he is about to pull the trigger, Captain Price runs up and tackles him to the ground. You watch them fight for a while, and Sheppard is winning for the most part. He knocks out Price, and his going to finish him. Right as this happens, you pull the knife Sheppard stabbed you with out of your stomach, throw it at Sheppard, and kill him. Price comes too and carries you to the safety of a helicopter that just landed. Luckily it is your ally Nikolai, and he says he knows a safe place to take Soap.
This was the best ending to a game ever. It ended unexpectedly, and it left you wondering if there is going to be a new Modern Warfare game after this one.


Comment if you think this is the best ending to a game

Marvel Vs. D.C




The big debate in the computer lab over the past few weeks/months has been Marvel or D.C, who is better? The obvious answer is Marvel.

It’s almost no contest. Marvel’s skills and characters are much better than D.C’s.
I will admit D.C does have some exceptional characters, like Batman, Green Lantern and Super Man, but if you were to put them up against heroes like Wolverine, Thor and Captain America, they are no match.


The second reason Marvel is better, is because Marvel characters are much more creative. They have heroes from mutants, a science experiment gone terribly wrong, to a scrawny want to-be marine who was given a high powered stimulant to turn him into a super soldier. All D.C has is aliens and rich guys in tights.


The third, and maybe most important reason, is because of their teams. Marvel has the Avengers, who are maybe the most spectacular mix of super heroes in the whole comic world, put together into one team, to fight evil. They have Thor, Captain America, Spider Man, Hawk Eye, the Hulk, Iron Man, and so many more, they are just amazing. Marvel also has the X-Men, a team of mutants formed by Professor Xavier. They have Cyclops, Storm, Jean Grey, Night Crawler, Beast, Wolverine (my personal favorite) and so many more. D.C does have their fair share of teams, like the Justice League of America, and the Watchmen, but Marvels teams simply out match them in number, size and power.


My favorite Marvel characters are Captain America, and Wolverine. Steve Rodgers wanted to join the Armed Forces in WW2, but was unable to because of his body size. The military did have one job for him though. He was used to test a drug, which was supposed to create a “super soldier”. He and his friend Bucky Barnes got the drug, Steve became Captain America. He and Bucky fought side by side in WW2, and worked on several classified missions. On one mission, they were sent to destroy a plane that was strapped with a bomb and was heading for the U.S. Bucky and Steve jumped onto the tail of the plane before it took off. As the plane took off, Steve Rodgers was thrown from the plane, but Bucky held on, and managed to destroy the bomb by setting it off prematurely. Bucky died from the explosion and Steve Rodgers was haunted by it ever since. Today Cap fights for America and against terrorists.


Even though Cap is a great super hero, you just can’t beat Wolverine. James “Logan” Howlett, or Wolverine, is a member of the X-Men, and many other groups, teams and organizations. He is over 100 years old. But I guess if you had a metal skull and near invincible healing powers; you’d live to be over 100 years old too. Along with his amazing defensive attributes, his claws are unstoppable. They are made of bone and razor sharp and super strong. They can bust through a brick wall and rip someone to shreds. Wolverine has to be, my favorite super hero.


So after reading this, the choice of who is the better comic company, the answer should be obvious. Marvel all the way.

Please comment with your vote.

Rwanden Genocide

Ok so we have been in a debate in class about the genocide in Rwanda. My country is Belgium and we have a pretty tough role, but we have had very good responses to all the questions asked, but the debate hasn’t really gone our way, but I am confident that we will turn it around. I’m not giving anything away but we’ve got some questions for France, which will be in our “ace in the hole” so to speak. I hope to bring the FAR into this debate, considering they haven’t spoken yet and they had a pretty big role in this. So I’m hoping that my country and I can turn the debate around and start to point fingers at some of the other parties.

The American Scholar
Danny Brumar
Emerson’s argument still holds true in today’s society.
The main reason Emerson’s argument is still true, is because when people in the U.S lose their jobs, they are not being able to do anything else, because they don’t know how to do anything else. In the American Scholar, Emerson talks about people doing only one thing, like being a farmer, mechanic etc. But he says that in order to be truly happy, and be Man Thinking or American Scholar, to which he refers to, you need to know how to do more than one thing, and focus on more than one sole purpose, which he says, is money. Imagine you are working in a factory that you have worked in since you were out of high school. You never went to college but you’re making pretty good money. One day the factory announces that there are budget cuts, and next thing you know, you are out of a job. You don’t know how to do anything else, because you’ve been working in the factory all of your life. This is the reality for many Detroiters in today’s economy. They have worked in Ford, Chrysler, or GM factories on the line for almost there whole life, and when the economy turned bad, they were out of a job.

Barack Obama Wins the Nobel Peace Prize

Last week President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. What for is the question a lot of people have been asking for the past couple days including myself.

When I heard the news that President Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize, I was kind of shocked. Myself being a Democrat, voted for Obama in the 2008 election, but my support for him quickly dropped, especially after the closing of Guantamino Bay in January. President Obama apparently won the Peace Prize for his so called “foreign relations” I personally think that this was a pretty dumb excuse considering the fact he is in charge of a country that is fighting two wars and has weapons of mass destruction.

To me, he got the prize for two reasons. Reason one, race. Now I am definitely not racist and I’m not trying to sound racist here, but the reason he won the prize, and possibly even his presidency, was because of his race. I mean I can almost guarantee that half of the percent of people who voted for him, was because he is African-American. I mean you had people who probably never watched any debates of his, or didn’t even know what he stood for voting for him. Why? Because of his race. Yes other African-American people have won the Nobel Peace prize, but much like here in America, every one made a huge deal about Obama being the first African-American president in other countries, and they did all around the world. I’m pretty sure that if Obama wasn’t African-American, people would have realized that he wasn’t this hero he was built up to be. If an Arab-American was president of say Turkey, people there would say wow, he’s different, and suddenly he would be this huge hero. Basically, what I’m saying here, is that President Obama won the prize because he is the first African American president of the U.S, and people symphonized in a sense, for him, because he was built up to be this big huge hero, when the reality of it is, he’s really not. The second reason, some people think he won the prize, was because it was sort of a slap in the face, so to speak, to President Bush, because he tried to reach out to other countries, and he fell flat on his face.

I personally think race was the deciding factor of why President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Football
Football is my all time favorite sport. I play it and watch it every Saturday, and Sunday and Monday and I play it for my school. Football is an awesome sport. My favorite about watching football would definitely be to be seeing the big plays, weather its Terrence Newman catching a one handed interception, DeMarcus Ware laying out a running back coming through the hole, Marion Barber making the strong safety look weak by running them over, or Tony Romo completing the game winning catch to Roy Williams in the end zone.

I don’t also love to watch football, but I also love to play it. My coach says it isn’t for everybody, but I love it. I play for Stevenson High School’s freshman team, and we aren’t doing so well. We are winless and we don’t seem to be doing any better. I play split end, and if you don’t know what that is, it’s where you line up split to the left or the right, and go out on a pass or block the corner. The reason I love playing football so much is the way it makes you feel when you make a big play like juking out the corner, making a block that lays someone on there back, or hitting the ball carrier so hard he never wants to play football again. I don’t know what it is about all those things but they just make you feel amazing inside. Even though all of those things are great, there are some not so great things about football, like missing a blocking assignment, or dropping a pass, and the worst thing about football, is the conditioning. We run so much its insane. I’m talking a couple miles per practice, that’s how bad it can get. So like my coach said, playing football isn’t for everybody, but I sure do love it.

The First 24

By: Danny Brumar

Ok so my first day of high school didn’t exactly go as planned but in the end, it turned out to be a pretty good day.
As I came into school I walked to my locker and dropped off my bag. I turned around to go to my class and there were so many people wedged into the hallway President Obama could’ve been giving his speech right there in the middle of C hall. I fought through the massive crowed and headed for my first hour class-AFJROTC-which is in the South Cafeteria. When I got to the cafeteria I walked in and headed toward the room with the sign marked TDR. I walked into the room and no one was there. Thought immediately started racing through my mind like it was the start of the Indy 500. “What if there was a schedule mix up? What if I’m in the wrong class?” all of these thoughts raced through my mind as I walked out of the cafeteria. I walked into the main lobby and looked around. I was surrounded by upper class men, and I figured I must have looked pretty stupid, just standing there looking around.


I stood there for about a minute, and then I saw a man, with a short, clean haircut, a sky blue shirt, navy blue pants, and shiny black shoes that you could see your reflection in. He walked into the cafeteria and, without a second thought I followed him. I mean what would a guy be doing in a uniform like that in a high school besides teaching some sort of military class. As I followed him through the door, the upper class men were still sitting at the round tables, talking loudly. He walked into the TDR room and I followed. When I got in to the room he was turning on his computer, and when he turned around he walked over to me and we shook hands. “Sergeant Howard” He said,” But you can call me Sarg”
“Danny Brumar” I said. As I introduced my self, another kid walked in, and he introduced himself. As he did this a small group of kids walked in, and I figured they were freshman, considering there faces were as white as ghosts. Sarg told us to sit down, and as we were doing so, more kids walked in. I figured these were upper class men, just by the simple fact that they walked up and said “Hi Sarg, good to be back” they took there seats and Sarg immediately started talking.


He talked for about the rest of the class and as he was doing this, the older kids were joking around and it lighted the mood a lot. Sarg was ok with it, considering the fact he was laughing with us. In those 24 minutes, my whole attitude changed, from being incredibly scared, to happy and relaxed.


So like I said, it didn’t start out as planed, but in the end it turned out all right.

A is for athletic. I am very athletic and I love to play sports. Football and lacrosse are my favorite sports.



B is for basketball. It is one of my favorite sports to follow. My favorite team is the Los Angeles Lakers.



C is for college sports. I follow this all the time and my favorite college football team and lacrosse team is the Michigan Wolverines and my favorite college basketball team is the North Carolina Tar Heels.



D is for Disturbed, my favorite alternative band. My favorite songs by them are Inside the Fire, Indestructible, and The Night.



E is for



F is for football. This is my favorite sport. I play it and watch it all the time. I play split end for Stevenson and my favorite team in the NFL is the Dallas Cowboys. My favorite players are Jason Whitten and Marion Barber.



G is for Guns n Roses, my favorite metal/classic rock band. My favorite songs by them are Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, and Knocking on Heavens Door.



H is for hockey. I love watching NHL hockey, especially during the playoffs. My favorite team is the Detroit Red Wings. My favorite player is Dan Cleary and Henrick Zetterburg. H is also for hunting. I hunt deer with my uncle and my grandpa.



I is for



J is for



K is for KISS, my favorite metal bands. My favorite songs by them are Detroit Rock City and Strutter



L is for lacrosse. It is one of my favorite sports to play. I play goalie and midfielder. I like playing goalie more because it’s much more fun, because you pretty much get to decide how the game goes. The thing I don’t like about it is how you wear a little bit of padding on the top part of your body, and none on your legs, and it can be incredibly painful if you get hit in the legs with no padding there.



M is for music. I love music, and my favorite kinds of music are metal, punk, classic rock, and alternative rock.



N is for
O is for The Offspring, they are my favorite punk band. My favorite songs by them are Hammerhead, Stuff Is Messed Up, and Pretty Fly



P is for



Q is for


R is for

U is for

So far, high school has gone a lot better than middle school has. There are more sports teams and the teachers are better and the classes are more fun. My schedule is AFJROTC with Colonel and Sarg, then math with Mrs. Maier, history with Mrs. Bergeski, language arts with Mr. Fielder, science with Mrs. Sebok, and then Spanish with Senora O’Brien. My favorite class so far has been AFJROTC because it is very easy, I have made a lot of friends in that class, and it is really fun and Kernel and Sarg are hilarious. My least favorite class would probably be math. It’s not that I don’t like the teacher or anything, it’s just I don’t like math in general. I play football after school and I play split end. So far, the season hasn’t gone so well. We are 0 and 4 and last night we got crushed by South Lyon 46 to 0.


I think that the best thing about high school so far has been how I’ve made so many new friends. I went to Emerson last year for middle school so I didn’t really know anybody this year but a couple people, but I’ve made a lot of new friends and I really like that. I also like going to the varsity football games and other activities like that. I have also really been enjoying Global Ed, just because of the fact that I have made a small group of friends within the class. I think the worst thing about high school, is there is more homework and things like that. The homework isn’t too bad it’s just I had a lot less in middle school.


Like I said, high school has been pretty good so far. It’s been fun so far and I’m looking forward to spending my next four years here.
