Bit scary as I sign contracts, open bank accounts, and wire money all over the world.. It is working – and I believe a company wrestling through the tough times makes it that much stronger.

Been Seriously Racially Profiled This Week!!!!
This week was such a hardcore week of racial profiling…..and the more I “pryed” into the topic…the worse it got!

Carl Icahn, multi billionaire…I wonder how happy he is? That whole money and happiness formula. I guess it would be fun to be able to say you split up motorola.
