'My life was fantastic' or 'My life is fantastic' are sentences that are surprising for most of us. For example I haven't meet people who could say this about their lives. These two sentences are reserved just for a few people. To explain this concept I take as an example the lives of Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the founders of the Google corporation. They were computer geeks who managed to have fun, get famous and rich. They were doing what they liked without concerning the next day, although they probably had lots of plans. And I bet that they are still pulling a screwdriver in computers in a while. I came to this idea of 'My life was fantastic' thinking at their plans to retire. I was thinking at what will they say when they will retire from Google. I will explain in a few lines why Google founders, in this case, are different to other people.
This is the article number 100 of this blog and I tried to write something anniversary related to what I wrote so far and was found most interesting by the readers. Looking at Google Analytics, I found that in about 9 months, the most visited pages and searched terms were related to 'Campbell Brown pregnancy','Jonas Brothers pictures' and probably the most viral subject, 'Miley Cyrus's bra'. When I wrote those articles I had no intentions to talk about my thoughts at that moment, but about the most rising searched terms on the internet at that time.
I was intrigued to see such interest in some subjects that I find with low consistency in a long time period, but I was wrong; these subjects were persistent over all this time and still are. Now, I am asking my self, is it possible that a person who is searching these terms on internet to say 'My life was fantastic'? The terms that people are searching on the internet gives different results to the above question.
After all these questions I think that when you ask yourself if your life is, or was fantastic, you will know if you wasted lots of years on watching others people's life instead of your own. Or at least if you are doing something to make your life fantastic, or if you are expecting from others to make your life fantastic. Having a great life depends on yourself, just like having a job to survive.
But there is hope: say 'My life is fantastic' and you will know at least what are you doing wrong and what you have to do to make you life more interesting. When you wake up in the morning and look at the plans for that day, be sure to ask yourself 'What is fantastic in all these plans?'

Campbell Brown pregnant - second child will be named...
...anything else but not 'Sarah' (from Sarah Palin), 'Bristol' (from Bristol Palin), 'John' (from John McCain) or 'Tucker' (from Tucker Bounds).
Finally, the gossip was confirmed officially by Campbell Brown itself. Is amazing how much digging on this subject was on the internet in the past couple of weeks. Probably because of the scandal related to Sarah Palin's daughter. Well, what can we say about Campbell Brown now ?! That she is an example to Bristol Palin ?! Campbell is 38 years old and she is at the second pregnancy in less than a year , while Bristol is at first pregnancy and is 17 years old. We asume that Campbell thinks that a woman (not a girl) should have a professional background before having kids. I know that Campbell was hitting Sarah politic about abstinence-only sex education, but did she thinked if it worths her attack a bit ?! People should be aware that the child that Bristol is carrying now will be known as a 'frustration' to a electoral campaign and nothing else. Is Campbell's child better than Bristol's one?!
Kids are innocent Campbell, don't hit'em before they even born (because they will hit you back later) !
Anyway, here is her statement from tv:

Campbell Brown - the one without dirty secrets
Lately, there were lots of speculations on Campbell Brown from CNN and Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska and the Republican vice-presidential nominee in the 2008 United States presidential election. In a live transmission interview, Campbell asked McCain's spokesman to explain why is Palin's daughter pregnant. Not so directly, but why she had to ask this?! There were lots of commentaries on this subject about both, Campbell and Palin, but from all I liked one from Wall Street Journal, which at a point says:
Campbell Brown of CNN did nothing wrong for instance in pressing a campaign spokesman on Palin's foreign policy credentials. She was unjustly criticized for following an appropriate and necessary line of inquiry. But endless front page stories connected to Mrs. Palin's 17-year-old daughter? Cable news shows that had people insinuating Palin, whom America had not yet even met, was a bad mother, and that used her daughter's circumstances to examine Republican views on abstinence education? That was ugly.Source:Wall Street Journal I just don't get it, what were them talking about, politics, personal life or it was a court session ?! Is correct to have a dirty election run, but what this have to do with the media,journalism or the news. If Palin's daughter is pregnant, then so be it, but don't take her into mud or turn an election run into a circus. Every person have a dirty secret and should stay so - secret. What is wrong of being pregnant so early ?! To have a 45 years old grandmother?
Now I'm thinking to this so called "firestorm" started by Campbell. It looks like a classic 'no-heart' media tale. And when I thought that journalists are tired of this attitude. Anyway, below is the video that blew the talk shows in America these days.
