Sierra madre 

You've heard of the Sierra madre casino. We all have,the legends,the curses. Foolishness about it lying in the middle of the City of the dead,buried beneath a blood red cloud. A bright,shining monument luring treasure hunters to there doom. The worlds most famous stars and entertainers were invited to its Grand Opening . An invention was a sign of... exclusiveness. The opening was supposed to symbolize a road to a brighter future, not just to the world but for all who came to its doors. A chance for anyonento begin again. Except the Sierra madre never opened. The war froze it, like a big flashbulb going off the Grand Opening. A big ending for humanity. It's still out there in the waste. Preserved, just waiting for someone to crack it open. But getting to....that's not the hard part...It's letting go
The Sierra madre huh. Finding it thats not the hard part... it's letting go

Sierra Madre 

A small, quiant little town in the San gabriel valley in California near Pasadena and Monrovia. The most BORING city in the world where nothing interesting happens. Filled with conservative white old people who take care of their grandchildren and take them to a nice little park, with a beautiful view of the local cemetery 50 feet away from the swirly slide. Sierra Madre-ians always leave Sierra madre if they want to have fun (usually the unfortunate 1% that are teenagers that live there). They go to pasadena (Old Town, Paseo Colorado) or Monrovia (Westfield Mall) to enjoy themselves and wish that they lived there.
Jim: Hey lets go chill somewhere fun.
Bill: We can't drive, and where stuck in Sierra Madre.
Jim: Shit, i wish I live in Pasadena.

sierra madre 

To "go a little crazy" in the civic sense. Pitting neighbor against neighbor and rendering one unable to listen to anything at odds with their own feelings irrespective of logic.
I tried to talk to Kurt about the realities of state legislation's impact on his desires, but he was a little sierra madre on the topic.

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh

- I'm trying to book an award flight to Paris, but I only have 70,000 SkyPesos
- Just forget about it, you don't have enough SkyPesos to fly anywhere.

1. Billy hate drafted Chad OchoCinco because he knew Sam had wanted him since he is from Cincinnati. Billy already had plenty of players to fill that position but wanted to make sure Sam didn't get him.

2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.
