The Other Convention Speakers

August 27th, 2008 -- Posted in American Politics | 1 Comment »

With all the great speeches going on at the DNC, people often overlook the regular people that are attending the convention and their support of Senator Obama. Why do you support Senator Obama? I have often mentioned why I support the Senator but here are a few of the hundred’s of video’s on YouTube DNC Group of people at the convention expressing their opinions:

Moving To Korea

August 27th, 2008 -- Posted in A Political Break | 16 Comments »

Hi everyone, I didn’t manage to make my daily post yesterday because I have some news, I am leaving to South Korea this week Saturday for at least a year maybe more depending on how I like it. The decision is not as quick as it sounds but has been in the pipe line for a while given my lack of success here in Ireland trying to earn decent money. I am often reminded of my dad who tells me all the time: “It is good to know how the other half lives.” I think that embodies my curiosity of Asia to a degree but I am not stopping blogging by any stretch of the imagination just a little slow down for the next two weeks. For the next two weeks, Big Blue will be in charge of this blog, moderating comments and doing anything else that he see’s as necessary. I trust him completely and I know he will do his best with his tight schedule to keep this site moving forward.

I expect to be back to full time blogging by September the 14th but will be posting periodically during this time period. I have really enjoyed the last couple months discussing the issues of the day with all of you, but I am extremely glad I won’t be missing Senator Obama’s speech on Thursday :) . I will be living in the Korean city of Incheon however I am not a city person as I have said in previous posts and hope to relocate somewhere to the country once I am settled. Good luck to everyone for the next two weeks, I will be back to my pro-Obama, liberal and sometimes badly argued posts in September:
