Simplicity: pursuit of happiness.

one of the best speeches.

"No way, no how, no Mccain. Barack Obama is my candidate and he must be our president."

Hillary Clinton 2012.

before i die,

Give my parents a wedding they deserve
Paragliding in the Himalayas
Go zorbing (rolling down a hill inside a giant plastic ball)
Speak in public & receive a standing ovation
Make passionate love in an airplane
Learn to apologize & eat humble pie.
Watch a space shuttle launch
Create a charity event
Ride in a hot air balloon
Try entomophagy
Run another marathon, 5 km, 10 km
Learn how to manage my anger effectively
Drink beer at Oktoberfest in Munich
Ride the Trans-Siberian Express (Moscow to Vladivostok)
Be my own boss and hopefully make partner.
Learn not to say yes when I really mean no
Flyfishing and eat my catch
White water rafting.
Conquer my fears by riding on a rollercoaster
Going to India.
