	2007.01.04  10.25 Sly vs. Russia Rocky IV was on last night, and the discussion in the room turned toward the Russia = "the enemy" idea that most of us grew up with in the 70-80's. It was very clear back then, and movies and TV didn't even pretend to hide it. Even if the bad guy WASN'T Russian, he still looked Russian. I am glad that we had men like Sylvester Stallone and Chuck Norris to fight WW3 for us. Kids now no nothing of our sworn enemy - Communist Russia. Fall of the Berlin wall?

Perhaps it would be good to start a new journey now, while I'm still waking and before I forget them all. Ryan Mood: sleepy

Top 100 without a doubt Anyway. Happy new year everyone. Here's to bigger and better in 2007. I had a ton of sushi yesterday to kick off the new year in lucky Japanese style - though most Japanese probably wouldn't approve of my dessert sushi. The recipe is simple if you want to try it for yourself: Mango, Kiwi, Apple, and Cream Cheese wrapped in sushi rice and soy bean paper. MMMM.... Ryan Mood: full
