Well it’s about time I show my true colors, I am a political junkie in every sense, so I spent yesterday afternoon/evening glued to my TV and fielding calls & text-messages (are you watching the convention? Did you see that? Etc.)—and btw CNN coverage sucked, they are more interested in listening to themselves create unnecessary drama than in watching the convention! Anyway, I was ecstatically surprised to see Ted Kennedy, he gave a powerful speech and I can only hop... MORE

That's three annoying situations so maybe my luck will change soon. Although the world paused for me, others have been b... MORE

It was his first very real personal phone call. So it begins, cause he called someone else to tell them what ... MORE
