Those who live in the Downriver area of Michigan (communities south of Detroit: Allen Park, Brownstown Township, Ecorse, Flat Rock, Gibraltar, Grosse Ile, Huron Charter Township, Lincoln Park, Melvindale, River Rouge, Riverview, Rockwood, Romulus, Southgate, Taylor, Trenton, Woodhaven, and Wyandotte) who have either/or have failed to obtain a higher education, have had a child at too young of an age, married, married an uneducated individual in the armed forces, got involved in a blue collar career with no chance of promotion, have no ambition to succeed, live with parents over the age of 24, too lazy to succeed or obtain a job to support oneself, and or live off the financial means of an individual(s) other than themselves. In other words believe that this (the Downriver Shuffle) is just "Good enough."
Those who have not succeeded, nor have made a significant improvement in their lives since high school. Those whom still believe that their band is going to "Make it" are just a few examples of those playing the "Downriver Shuffle".

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.
