What affiliation do you have to Italy?

Well, RSG was asked "what affiliation do you have to Italy?" on this past Monday night. The reason for this question is my name on Facebook appears as "Rahulio Ganpuleone." It is an Italian name which I devised. Rahulio is a name given to me by a family friend, during my formidable college years. Ganpuleone is similar to the "great Corleone mob family." Ganpuleone is a fictional name, and Corleone is a Sicilian fictional mob family. Corleone comes from "The Godfather", an epic Hollywood trilogy. Going back to Rahulio Ganpuleone, it is a name which I debuted on Facebook in August 2010. People call me with this name, and I respond frequently. Last night, I introduced myself but a family member immediately said "where's your pseudo name?". This pseudo name is my affiliation to Italy. Italy is a beautiful country known for it's tasty wine, opulent cuisine, and exquisite women. Long Live Italia!

2012 Summer Olympics plus triple digit (100) post!

The 2012 Summer Olympics started on July 28, 2012 in London. The Chinese are the leaders in the medal count with 30 total medals. The U.S. is second in the medal count with a total of 29 medals. These results are as of August 1, 2012. There are another 11 days left in the XXX Olympic Games. The U.S. can still win a good amount of medals in Track & Field, Basketball, and other sports. Michael Phelps won his 19th medal (total) at these Olympic games by winning a gold medal last night. He won two silver medals already during these games. Phelps has 3 more events left to add to his total. In other happenings, this is the 100th post for RSG. It is kind of special. RSG saw most of the movies this summer, which he wanted to see. The last movie was "The Dark Knight Rises." In my mind,this movie was the best of the three movies directed by Christopher Nolan. The movie has eclipsed $300 million worldwide already in 12 days. As for the rest of the Summer games, the U.S. may not win the total medal count. China may win this title in the 2012 Summer Olympics. So far, the Olympics have been thrilling to watch. Hope the excitement continues! Finally, the picture above is of Dana Vollmer. So far, she has won two gold medals in swimming (Women's 100 meters Butterfly and Women's 4 x 200 meters Freestyle Relay). She is beautiful, and a great athlete too!
