tomorrow morning our new president Barack Obama will be sworn in. i sit here in my bedroom thinking about what that really means. it's so historic. clearly because he's african american. but also because of his beliefs. i know it's not going to be quick. i know things arent going to magically get better. most likely will take longer than 4 years. however it's a right step. it's the right step. i feel so apart of this election. mainly because it's really the 1st one i've followed and been interested in. but also because i feel like our entire young generation stood up and said something. most of us went out and did something about all the things we sit around work, and online bitching about. i know i did. it's empowering. look what we can do. how lucky we are to live in a country such as America. how lucky we are to be able to disagree with each other. to stand up and have a say. to have a blog that we document every or anything that happens in our life. to have that freedom. to have that dream, if you will. thank you mr.king. i truly believe that peace is possible. it's more than a word. it's a breathe of hope. that we are all one. we are all american people. we are black. we are white. rich and poor. gay straight whatever you believe. we are red, and white, and blue. and that's a powerful thing. im so excited for tomorrow to watch and live this day in history. to feel this empowerment. it's a beautiful thing. and im loving every second of it. will.i.am is one of my favorite musical artist. but i may have fallen more in love with him for 2 of his songs that he has released about this election and about our president elect. one is 'Yes We Can', which im sure most of the 5 people that follow this blog have read, and the 2nd is 'It's A New Day' (which is my favorite) every time i listen to those songs i get goosebumps. i feel, ugh alive? i feel so strong. so about it all! i just want to get up and get out and show the world how i feel, and how passionate i am about this. making my voice heard. making my beliefs something worth listening to and considering. one day i hope i will be looked at in this country as an equal citizen. i wont give up hope until that day. but i do believe that tomorrow is a perfect step in that direction. in the direction for everyone of us. USA is A-Okay! *wink*
