Former Unstoppable Terminator... Turned Lovable Family Man

        Symbolic representation of a man who can not be described in words.

One time half-man, half-machine, Arnold Schwarzenegger has turned the pages of his life to a new chapter.  After achieving all tangible accomplishments possible in the sport of body-building, Arnold felt the calling for a family and love.  In 1986, he and award winning journalist Maria Shriver officially tied the knot.  They now live together in California as the ruling family and have had four lovely children, two sons and two daughters.  Over the course of his unprecedented career, Arnold has toppled all expectations,and has suppressed all doubters.  He has managed to obtain the most prestigious awards and titles in not only his sport of body-building, but also in his somewhat surprising role as a politician in his state of California.

The Birthplace of a Legend

                                      Above is the only other crowning glory of the abysmal town of Thal, Austria. A church.  Every Sunday, practically the entire town filters into the Chuch above to pray and show appreciation to The Lord.

The minute town of Thal, Austria is home to barely over 2,000 individuals in 2001.  However, in the decade Arnold Schwarzenegger was born, the town was home to a mere 1,300 people. The town lies 1.8 miles from Graz, Austria which is a larger township.  Thal's most famous accomplishment has without a doubt been being the birthplace of the legend.  He was born there in the year 1947 and, as we all know, went on to live an incredibly successful career.

The Govanator

Following his long tenured career as a body-builder, and star in Hollywood movies, Arnold felt the need to continue his reign as the legend.  In the year 2003, he ran for Governor of California and was to everyone's surprise, victorious.  He represents the republican party in one of the most affluent and successful states in the nation.  Like every aspet of his life prior to holding political office, Arnold excelled in his role as "commander-and-cheif" as well as all in all facets of being Governor.  Due to his past experiences as playing the role "The Terminator" in a Hollywood blockbuster film series, many of his close followers have jokngly created the nickname, " Arnie, the Govantor".  Nonetheless, Arnold is an extremely successful Governor and will no doubt continue to hold office for years to come.

The Man... The Legend... The Arnold...

Young Arnold began his career as a professional body builder at the mere age of 15. In less than a decade, he transformed his slender build into one of the most famous as well as recognizable icons of strength in the histories. In the year 1969, Arnold was awarded the eternal title of "Mr. Universe" meaning that he was the strongest man in the world in the amateur divison. In a few years, Arnold would ascend to "Mr. Olympia" and continue to hold this title for 7 consecutive years. Following his career as a body-builder, his impact on the sport would never die. He remains one of the most iconic as well as influential figures in the sport. The legend of Arnold Schwarenegger will forever be enshrined into the sport of professional body-building.
