I mean - the CIA is already in Transylvania, and they placed their <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/38003686@N00/191827228/">toehold in Sibiu</a>. I've seen their building, photographed it and posted the picture in my blog on the 17th of July. Ha! Admit the fact that you work for SD-6, agent Sean!

And if you finally get tired of it all, you can take a trip to the mountains, remeber how beautiful the country actually is, and leave in the afterglow of that feeling for a little longer.

The aim is to romanianize the United States and to americanize Romania to the point when the two countries will swap names. The aim is for the European Union to incorporate the United States. Romania will rightfully receive it's own continent and the wealth it lost during the Gold Rush as chronicled in the Ovidiu Iuliu Moldovan series of movies. Sean is very close to fulfilling his mission. I have a hard time convincing Americans that 14-year-old girls should be naked on TV. My biggest success remains the movie "13" and the ascension of Hillary Duff although she broke her promise--she was supposed to be in Playboy on her 17th birthday. Yes, it's very hot as I write this and no, I'm not wearing sunscreen or other protective gear.
