I'm off to Staples Center for the Lakers/Rockets game. @GLo It's on!

I didn't realize how emotionally invested I was in the 2008 election. It seems like ages ago, but my dad reminded me that back in 2006 I told him if a guy called Barack Obama ever runs for president he should take him very seriously.

It didn’t take long for me to start feeling like Old, Old Steve again. No, not the Old Steve that didn’t give a fuck about finding her. No, no, that is Old Steve. This is just Old, Old ( Read more... )
