| Politics are hot!The high-drama presidential campaign of 2008 has given at least one major benefit. It has made politics hot and important again for the general population. Look at Indiana and North Carolina, it has driven huge unprecedent voter turnouts compared to the last presidential election. Let's hope they stay active as voters in the future.
Check out this NYT article: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/08/fashion/08celebs.html
Given how well Iron Man did at the box office this past weekend and has already inked a sequel for 2010, I find it difficult to believe Superman (DC superstar) would need to pander so low for a licensing deal. Oh, c'mon. He's Superman!

| Hillary wins Pennsylvania!I know this is very late to announce, but "Hillary wins the Pennsylvania primary!"
I wonder what exactly can the cop do to stop him from defying physics? More importantly, doesn't he know that with every law there's always a loophole?

| Weekend Recap - Boston TripThis past weekend, I decided to get away from Baltimore and headed off to Boston to see my sister and check out Beantown. Consequently, it was also the same weekend as my sister's baptism and my parents (including two cousins) were coming up that Sunday to witness the big event. On Friday, I walked the entire Freedom Walk trail, hung out at the Boston Commons, the Public Gardens and the Skywalk at the Prudential Center. Saturday was a little more relaxed and I spend the day at the Museum of Fine Arts. Had dinner on both nights with dear friends that I haven't seen in a long time. Sunday was devoted to my sister's baptism and lunch with my family. Overall, it was a great weekend and the weather couldn't have been better.
Funny, I've always heard and thought that the best time to buy real estate is in a bear market. God forbid, you buy when the market is at its peak and you spend a ton of money just to see it evaporate. But now I'm not sure anymore. Maybe there is never a good time to buy real estate.

| Happy April Fool's Day!April Fool's Day has always been a odd one. Do we celebrate it because it has an historical/religious importance to it like MLK Jr. birthday and Halloween or is it purely because we're bored and April seems to lack any holidays? To me, the day will always "live in infamy."
On a side note, a friend of a friend, Cami got married over the weekend. Congratulations to her!!! I remember hearing about the proposal and engagement back in my senior year of college and can't believe it has actually happened. I wish her and her husband a long and prosperous life. :)
