Epic
Haven’t had much to say as of recent…..well maybe not so much that I haven’t had anything to say but more so that I haven’t had time to post up what I wanted to say. However I couldn’t let a week go by and not point out the obvious here.
The past seven days have been very big for my city, and in case you’ve been living under a rock the above picture is a illustration of what’s been going on, and arguably one of the most historical and relevant times in our existance as human beings…not just our modern day society, but our existance. I’ll be able to tell my kids one day that I was apart of history, I was there like their grandparents before them during the civil rights movement to see history in the making.
Now grant it, there are some issues/policy changes that have already surfaced that I don’t agree with, but I plan on reserving judgment until this man (who’s checks the same box as I do on official government documents that ask what your “Race” is) is able to get his feet and the ground and get into the Oval office. He’s not the guy I wanted a year ago, but given the choice we had it was a “no-brainer” on who would be president and I will give him a shot to prove himself, and back up what he’s been saying he would do over the past 18months. He’s surely got his work cut out for him.
Below I have posted up some of what I consider the most touching photo’s from the past year that i’ve found and have been sent to me. I hope and pray that this man can begin the process of bringing about a new era in the United States. To whom much is given, much is required President Obama…….

I think the title of your new blog, pretty much says it all- Epic! The photos above are some great pictures that express what will be remembered as the greatest day in American history.

I never thought something so historical and yes “epic” would happen in my lifetime. Mind you I’m not a very political person, but I watched President Obama’s acceptance speech and couldn’t help but feel proud and honored to be able to say that I was around when this happened. I will also be able to share this with my children and grandchildren. He does have his work cut out for him, but I believe in him.

Hmmm….It seems as though I’m with you during every major event in your life, including this one. Ha! Seriously, I knew that we would someday have a “First Black President”. But I thought that I would be old and have dementia and no real knowledge of what was going on. So above all else, I can say that I witnessed history before receiving my first CONFIRMED gray hair. Now that I have sort of gotten past being speechless, I realize that this man has a long road ahead. I’m glad he’s smart because it’s going to take some Soloman-like wisdom to get this country out of all these messes.
Love the picture of the two kids…too bad mine was in a coma-like slumber and missed the whole thing.

@SBM: Indeed it did the same for me man, hopefully we can see more of that going forward in this renewed spirit of unity…..although I have a feeling it will be short lived.
@dej: For sure it is. Did you vote?
