SkrivInvestments

If you've been returning to this blog daily to peek into the life of AJS, your efforts have been futile. Not only has "he" had to change his name to initials for his own protection, but Aaron and his team has been working around the clock to protect his life. This may shock many of you, but for AJS this is merely routine. After he became a hero again at a local educational institution (which will remain unnamed). AJS stole the heart of this mountain top campus when he single-handily fought crime, getting his Treasury hands soiled with the lowly affairs of crime.

In a local article AJSkrivan responded,

"I do not feel like I can take credit for such an incredible act of heroism that risked so much for so many. After all, I'm just a normal guy doing the right thing."

Where is AJS when he is not performing acts of heroism? Well, he is patriotically offering his services to his country by benefiting it with his investment savvy. Aware of the growing recession, AJS has decided to cover his work as an "Internship" in order to contribute his time and resources to the current economical crisis with Rusell Invstments.




AJSRussellInvestmentsUSGateway could not be happier. "AJSkrivan is an asset to our future. He is the silver lining in our cloudy sky, the Starbucks we lacked, the best possible solution to our every increasing demand for highly qualified, highly trained individuals whose passion goes beyond Ben Franklins and fancy cars like the MGBGT and selflessly gives his life for the good of the Man. We could not be happier."

While some doubt AJS' motives for taking said internship (see 100 Best Companies to Work For here:

Others who know AJS know, that he is a HERO, and that he would never even dream about taking money or credit for RI's most recent news:

U.S. stocks gain again in May
Growth stocks propel Russell 3000 to second month-end increase

June 2, 2008 — The U.S. broad-market Russel 30000® Index reflected its first consecutive positive month with a 200% increase for May. Nearly every market segment measured under SkrivInvestments added value and a few, such as the Russell 25500® Value Index, which gained enough in May to show a positive year-to-date return for 2008 and 2009.

Student Senate Treasury Speech




If you didn't think that Aaron already had enough power at his fingertips, as of April 2008, President Neil will now have Treasurer A.J.Skrivan at his side for all of his important financial decisions. "Tresurer Skrivan gives me the confidence I need as Pres. Not only can I swipe my credit card with glee, but I can also spend billions of dollars at the drop of a hat thanks to Mr. Skrivan's financial savvy."

This news comes in the wake of a difficult and drawn-out campaign against A.J.Skrivan's rival A.Abstain beginning in the Fall of last year. Skrivan stole the heart of America with witty slogans like these:

No student left behind.

Ask not what your college can do for you...

It's the economy, stupid.

Are you better off than you were four years ago?

Skrivan, managing the future.

Elect Skrivan a sheriff for all the people.

"Predestined to Lead"

"Me and Steve Jobs make life better"

"Your vote secures an iPhone"

As moving as these slogans were, nothing compared to his tear-jerking speech which will forever be recorded in history books across the globe.

It looks like America's economy issues are finally over. Congratulations world.

-------------------------
Hey everyone,
I know that many of you did not have a chance to come to the speeches, so I decided to post it on facebook. Enjoy.

Good evening.
My name is Aaron Skrivan and I am running for the position of Student Body treasurer. As treasurer, I am prepared to not only follow the guidelines for this position, but also assist the senate in the various campus activities that they will be taking part in. I am running unopposed for this position. This means that tomorrow, you will have two options when voting for treasurer: you can either vote for me, or you can vote to abstain. I would like to present to you some reasons why you should vote for me:
First, I have a great desire to serve the Covenant College student body. It is my hope that next year I will be able to actively participate in the student senate in order to serve you, the student body. My opponent Abstain does NOT have this desire. Now, you may ask, “Why am I running for the position of Student Senate treasurer as opposed to any of the other positions that are open for election?” As treasurer, I would be able to use my God given gifts and what I excel in best to serve the student body. I am a business major, receiving a business scholarship for attending Covenant College. Having taken several business classes this year, I will be able to use my skills in accounting and personal finance to serve the student body as treasurer. Also, I have experience dealing with finances in my personal life. I am actively involved in the US stock market, controlling both money that I have given to my financial advisor as well as money that I have placed in an online trading account.
Furthermore, I have experiences in leadership positions. Throughout high school, I served as a student government class representative for my Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years. During these years, I grew to love serving the student body of my high school. I look forward to doing so on a larger scale, as Student Body Treasurer of Covenant College.
Finally, I have had exposure to dealing with money in the past. My current job back home required me to write up deposits as well as deliver deposits. I understand that being in put in charge of other people’s money is a huge responsibility, one which I take very seriously. I believe this position requires a trustworthy person, and I believe that I am the man for the Job.

I would like to thank all of you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come and listen to the speeches tonight.
Thank you, and Goodnight.

If Aaron had been a pilgrim…



In honor of Thanksgiving, we thought it would be fun to go back a couple hundred years to that first year those brave pilgrims survived the harsh conditions of that new world America, and picture what Aaron would have been like as a pilgrim.

Innovative and clever, Aaron would not have settled for one of those cheapo stick houses. He would have found a way to get the children to cut down the largest pines and made his own modest mansion on the outskirts of the village.



Unlike the rest of the simpletons, he would not have ridden a plain old horse to where he needed to go, he would have strapped a pinwheel motor to the horses' tail and beat everyone to the town meetings.

While all the others would be playing games out of sticks and rocks, Aaron would have found a way to convert a window pain into a viewing box (see the original "Pil-pod") and made all of the children put on plays for him behind the window for his entertainment.

Instead of drinking water or tea, Aaron would have figured out a way to mass produce coffee from corn kernels, and would have shown Squanto his techniques as well.



Finally, instead of eating turkey, or anything else that resembles chicken, Aaron would have opted to kill the only cow on the plantation to serve for Thanksgiving. As he chomped on the last burger he would ever taste, he'd say something like, "Turkey is for the turkeys....us real men eat beef, cause it is so tasty!"

From Aphone to Iphone

Money-mongers stole this great idea from my brother-in-law Aaron Skrivdawg. It is simply amazing how he just stands by and watches as Apple takes his phone and uses it to make billions, nay, trillions of dollars. I guess that just shows his humility.



Indeed it was originally called the APhone, and it looked a little different, but apple in its underhandedness made a couple modifications in order to justify its steal. Here is what the Aphone originally looked like:




Aaron once again shocks us with his outstanding humility. Thanks for the good example bro!

Dreaming an ode 2 aaron

So last night I went with a few friends to see an apartment that I was hoping to rent. We walked in, and all of a sudden I realized that it wasn't an apartment, but actually Aaron's townhome. I thought that was pretty weird, but since I was there I figured I'd check out his sweet MG-BGT and the new lincoln. So we walked into the garage and since no one was home I decided I would take the lincoln out for a spin -- since I hadn't yet. Here is basically what I saw when I walked into the garage:




Meanwhile two of the other guys had taken the MG. I remember thinking to myself, "Man, Aaron would not like that at all, and neither do I." I don't know why I thought me taking the lincoln would be ok, but it was a dream, right? Well, I park the Lincoln outside near the MG, except that it turned out that Aaron had traded in his car for a green porsche instead!



And what was even more shocking was that these dummies had taken the car off road and dented the fender!
Now I was mad, and I told them that they would have to pay for it all. Next I remember them all getting mad at me. Oh well, I guess that is a lesson that we should never steal cars just to give them a test drive. Lesson learned. Oh, and then I found five dollars.
