The US presidential election is fascinating me to no end. It seems like a monumental event for all Americans, for a visionary (and effective) leader is crucial in either expediting or impeding the progress of US. In the wake of terrorism and spates of economic panic and instability, Americans are seeking for respite and the person who will eventually lead America has the onus to provide this to their people.

If you are still clueless on the waging political campaign, but sincerely believe that it’s about time to get some, here’s your first step: Summary of US Presidential Election 2008, Super Tuesday

Milestones of 2008

February 3, 2008 thenextportman Leave a comment

I realised that i didn’t set any specific milestones for 2008 and hence i hereby shall.

Job wise, I guess the best way of performance measurement is through verbal compliments and an identifiable pay-rise. This job is gonna be ultra challenging for me but since I made that choice, for better or for worse, I will stick to it and make the best out of it; I still stay put and strong about my personal credo -  never say quit and the more you say no to me, the more I’ll disprove to you. Yes, i will reign any adversity.

Also to see myself happier, really and genuinely happier deep down in the narrowest of corridors of my heart.

To get my engines rolling and sign up for some short marathon. I hate being lazy and i definitely judge lazy people. We just need to find that inspiration. And hopefully effects like being slim, tan and healthy would come along with the runs.

Do some good for the world – volunteering, playing a part in worldwide environmental campaigns, involving in human rights or social activism – and it will start from home.

To renew friendships that matter and maintain that, especially the Princess Gang – at least the active ones. :)

And lastly, to be more knowledgeable about things. It’s good to always be in the know and since I’m at it, Richard Edelman neatly sums up the latest breaking news and events that are dogging the US and just as well, the global economy, in his latest trip to Davos.

It’s about time we take some action

It’s good to have such reminders so that we can better take stock of how we are running our lives.
I am feeling immensely about this but i can’t quite point out what on earth that feeling is.
But i know that i want to be part of this.
Join me. Let’s plunge into the darkness that inspires.
