Word of the day: Indomitable - Incapable of being overcome, subdued, or vanquished; unconquerable

Read the article located on at this link and write a blog on your opinion. How do you feel the newly appointed strong mayorship will affect Miami.

I feel that Miami will become another Cuba. If our government turns corrupt like Feidel Castro I feel that everyone will be in deep shit and theres nothing we could really do about it. Also i think this elction/W.E. you want to call it was rigged. Just like our precedent election because none really wanted Bush in office but of the blue he wins the President election. I think that this is all a conspiracy and that there not really going by the people votes. But from how I see things thats just a bit of too much power a mayor is suppose to have.

What characteristics do you find appalling in another person? What personality traits do you find you absolutely cannot deal with in another person? why or why not? Do you know anyone like that, if not, are there any celebrities who you think embody these ideas?

One of the characteristics I find appeling about a perosn is there personality thats one if the most important tthing a person must have,its a good personality. I fits a femele I expect here to look fine,but I kniow no one is perfect but to me a fine female is most appalling to me. Now the personality I cannot deal with is a rude person. If a person is rude I really can't hang around them because if I do then soon Ima have to end up fighting that person or somthing along the lines. I myself have a very short temper and cannot deal with other peoples foolishness. Yea,I know lots of people like that and thats why I dont hang around them. I really dont know any celebbities so I wouldent be able to answer that question.

What do you identify yourself most with? Choose a quality or characteristic about yourself that you believe defines who you are and describe why. How do you believe this quality is viewed in the eyes of others?

I think one of my best qualitys about me is that im not a FLAW type of peroson,and because im not fake. To me thats how people can identify me throgh those main qualitys. Most pepole are 2 faced and what not but im not one of them.I stay true to my self and never let anyone put me down. So I think that I have many qualitys and its hard to just limit it to only one.
