no drama, OBAMA

the ch ch ch CHANGE has happened. the transition of power has taken place. they say it's the moment that will define a generation & i believe it has, no diggity no doubt. somehow it feels surreal. we gots a black brutha man in the white house. who knew. but we were so overdue for a change. i've never felt so patriotic. you cant help but. the great inauguration that took place today is undeniable. i sat, watched & embraced it. the speeches were so on point. he kept it real. truly inspirational and empowering. ya thats right i said it. here's a little tease:

"On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.

We remain a young nation, but in the words of scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.

In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted — for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things — some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom."

the whole speech

fyi. this speech was crafted in a starbucks by 27 y/o, Jon Favreau, the youngest known presidential speech writer. impressive. ok i just thought i would share since im feeling the red, white and blu. ima take a page outta obama's book by dealing w/my reality and making my change happen. time to work son.
