Yes We Can

And we did. Obama is now president! I'm over the fucking moon. Last night when it was announced you could hear shouts and hollers all around. I've never felt so proud of my country.
This is so huge. I wonder if this is similar to how people felt when JFK won the election.
No Obama isn't going to be able to fix all this mess, at least not anytime soon. But he will improve things and lay down the frame work for the future. I'm so happy to because maybe this will help race relations in our country and the way the world sees us. My children won't think about race or things like that. They will see a Black president and they will know that anybody, no matter what, can achieve their dreams and goals. Obama, I am so proud of you.

Keep Your Seat Belts On. We're Almost There Kids

My stomachs in knots over this whole election thing. It's been going on forever and I'm happy it's almost over. The main thing that's got me nervous is that whilst I'm pretty damn sure Obama's got it in the bag there's that part of me that thinks he still is going to lose it. Yeah, the 2000 election kinda bittered me.
Got a bottle the whiskey, beer, wine, and voddy on hand....
See y'all Wednesday!
