San Francisco
July 19th 2007
It has been Forever sense I updated last. and so much has changed. I, like it seems a lot of people are in the process of or already have, moved. I now live in one of the most socially progressive, globally conscious, city that is constantly the forefront for major technological, social and political advances. Yes, I am now a proud citizen of San Francisco. You wouldn't believe how much history there is here if you just look. Like Civic Center Plaza is also United Nations plaza where in the mid 1940's In the heart of Downtown San Francisco the Worlds leaders met there and started what is now the largest global community. Its pretty Amazing. Im going to take this time to brag a little bit about where I live...Russian Hill, Downtown up the street from the capital building (city hall) and if you haven't seen it Google it. It really does look like the Capital building. and at night the dome is lit up so beautiful. My neighborhood is Fantastic, From the roof there's a full view of the Golden Gate Bridge, there is a really good French Bakery just across the street, a Wallgreens two blocks away. a gym across the street. a pizza place one block away, movie theater just a few blocks down on Van Ness. Pier 39 and the Warf and water is only about nine blocks down. And of course a Starbucks where I frequently see and have even had a full conversation with Mayor Gavin Newsom. (for those of you who don't know he's pretty much my hero) and he's truly a really nice guy come to learn he lives just two blocks up from me.
I quit my job at Audi
I quit work at the Discovery Bay Yacht Club
I am unemployed and its a really nice vacation.
My interests have also changed sense the last time I posted. It has been over a year. Where do I start? Im a very political person, In fact Politics and current events have become a passion of mine. I plan on volunteering with the re-elect Newsom campaign next month. Although I don't think he needs any help with a 75% approval rating. In national politics I am happy with the top 3 democratic candidates although I do strongly believe that Hillary Clinton would be best for this country right now. I get a lot of crap for supporting her but I have good reason, and if you're up for a debate just let me know. And if you want to know why I think Hillary would be best contact me and I'll give you a list, just know that I would be okay if Obama or Edwards got the nomination. We need Universal health care, we need to get out of the Civil war in Iraq and focus on protecting our homeland, and we need to dramatically fix our image in the world, right now we're the rotting garlic thats leaving a grotesque taste in the mouth of the world. And I honestly believe that a President like Hillary Clinton with a roaming ambassador like Bill Clinton who already is in good standing with the world leaders can be our saving breath mint. I would love to see a Clinton/Obama ticket, or Clinton/Edwards. Anyway that is the end of my Political rant. Im sure there will be more to come....
School is going good, slow at times but good.

Im trying to develop a taste for Scotch (Johnny Walker is the only way to go...and its free!)
I want to read the new Harry Potter book/ and I want them to fix the new IPhone so I can buy one.
