Unexpected $end

I spent about an hour trying to figure out what I had done and finally admitted defeat and I'm here to beg for you guidance.

Last thing I type was rails generate migrate instead of rake db:migrate. Upon starting the service with rails s -p 9001 (doesn't work for me on 3000, stupid ports) I get the following output:

This usually comes up because of a mismatched end somewhere in your code. Can you post your user.rb file?

Alan, thanks for the help. I forgot to edit this and couldn't find a delete button. I figure this one out after 6 coffee's and sore eyes.
