My Interview with Krazy Kevin! (How To Set Goals)

For those of you who don’t know him, Krazy Kevin is a Bahrain celebrity Radio DJ.  To be honest in the past I’ve not been that fond of him.  I don’t mean personally (as I’ve never met him), I just didn’t like his silly antics on the radio.  He does things likes sing songs, tell [...] [...more]

“Boy You’ve Got A Chip On Your Shoulders Suhail!”

It’s Thursday evening, and a group of us are hanging out at a friend’s house.  We don’t do it often enough, but when we get together we really enjoy it.  We’ve been friends since high school.  We have very different backgrounds and careers, but we share a strong love for one another. One of the guys [...] [...more]

So I quickly stepped out of the elevator and went [...] [...more]
