# 102 WHERE I SHOULD BE

I got this from Djong.




You Belong in Barcelona



When it comes to Europe, you don't want to decide between culture and fun. You want art by day and a big party by night.

Barcelona is ideal for you. You can check out some Picasso, eat some tapas, take a siesta, and then dance all night!


I should start learning Spanish. Jejejejeje :D

The US elected its first black president who wants CHANGE. He gave an inspiring speech addressed to HIS people (here's a part of what I got from this):

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.


It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.


We need a leader who can inspire AND an electorate who can pick the right people for the job. We need both but we also need to know where to start.

When it comes to looking for a leader that can inspire, I haven't seen one in my radar. The one that could be it is already dead (READ: Raul Roco). As for an electorate that can make a good decision in getting the best, I doubt that it would even happen in my lifetime. I hope that I'm wrong.
