SOY VIVO – The Personal Blog of Phillip Roman!

I have not posted in a long while. Hey! I have been busy. This post is materializing because I am using it as a tool to further my procrastination. I am supposed to be studying for the CFA exam but I find myself here talking to myself (or maybe you).

A few days ago I was surfing on Drudge (this was on my MacBook Air and not my iPhone because the underaged workers who built my iPhone did a crappy job and I have been recently running into a few problems). I read an article about George Soros and the evil speculators who are planning on making tons of $$$ on the fall of the euro. Soros’ explanation of the underlining problems are very logical, Greece cries and the euro dies.

He believes that unless the European Commission is given sweeping powers over taxation and spending, the single currency will always be vulnerable to financial turbulence in individual states.

Then I notice another article that states the IMF is considering a global currency to replace the dollar in the future. Ok, that makes a lot of sense. Lets just impose the problems and flaws of the euro onto the whole world. Globalization is fun!

These guys are doing really interesting and important work. Be safe JR!

I was just watching the news and they announced that an Irish documentarian was cut off in a Q&A session with Al Gore. While over hearing the accent, Suzanne shouted, “That’s Phelim!”. Sure it was. Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney are the Irish directors the movie, Mine Your Own Business. When I was at Seattle University, I hosted Phelim and Ann on campus. It was a great honor to be involved with their Seattle premiere of the film. After the showing, Phelim invited me to have a drink at a pub. I was sad to remind him that the American drinking age was 21 and that I was only 19.

Phelim was at an Al Gore talk at The Society of Environmental Journalists. Phelim is making a documentary titled Not Evil Just Wrong. He is looking at many of the errors that the British High Court has found in Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth.

Would you believe what happened to Phelim when he asked Gore about the Court’s ruling? Journalists killed his mic. Journalists censored Phelim and protected a politician.

Watch for yourselves.

Here is an email I just sent the president:

Hey Obama,

I also have a vision of peace. Can I go halfers on your Nobel prize money?

Your Constituent,

Phillip Roman

Obama just won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. I really don’t know why. The committee stated that he has captured the world’s attention and has given us hope (too bad he could not give US the Olympics). The main thing they are citing is that:

“Obama has as president created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play.”

The only problem that I see is that this award is premature. Yeah, the US has changed its outlook on foreign policy and communication but we have not yet had the new policies tested, in other words, Obama has not done anything yet. I hope that he does, for the betterment of the USA and the world, but he hasn’t yet.
