it’s a celebration….you know what

My apologies because I know I’m really late for this post but I’ve been distracted. I’m not getting much sleep these days because I’ve been glued to the biased liberal media shows (i.e. lots of Rachel Maddow and occssionally Keith Olbermann) to get my fill of the fact that it’s PRESIDENT OBAMA NOW.

First of all,  I didn’t go to the inauguration because tickets were scarce and at the end of  the day, Obama or not, I just can’t handle crowds like I used to. Well, okay, truth be told, if someone handed me at ticket, my ass would definitely be out there. But whatever the case, I did the best I could with what I had and ended up catching this spectacular moment at City Hall.  I ended up catching it in a small room with a bunch of people. It was a cool day because everyone was in a good mood. People were smling at each other, people were more courteous; it just felt like it was going to be “our day”.

Anyway, once the show got started, people got hyped up and cheered the minute Barack or Michelle appeared. In contrast, they hissed to no end when Bush or his crony Cheney appeared. When it finally came time for Barack to take his oath of office, we all stood up and cheered and clapped. It was awesome.

So since then, I have been trying on President Obama for a while and I have to say that I really like the way it sounds. I love fact that he is kicking ass already and slashing stuff. I love that he’s already trying to dliever on what he’s promised, I love the fact that there are black folks in the White House.

It’s great.

In the meantime, I have been collecting newspapers like they are going out of style and am in the hunt for a nice Obama pin to complement the t-shirt that I have (Shameless plug for my friend here!)

Change is grand.
