Obama It is!
Man. I can't sleep. It's out there now. I spent half the evening running around asking people how they feel around Midtown Atlanta. Most probably everyone that has the honorary status to be on my phone list has recieved an over-excited call from MOI! This election has been culturally pivotal and beyond race...or has it? People happily obliged sharing their thoughts with me as I enthusiastically approached everyone with the same question...White, Black, Indian, Puerto Rican and Asian...Americans, voters. I wish i could be a fly on the wall around the globe right now with the people who have stayed up to watch the results...Holding their breath like we did.
I am hopeful. Regardless of what will crawl out of the woodworks tomorrow looking like Troglodytes in a Holographic world. But I suspect that the progressive thinkers and idealists among us all share this feeling, and recognize the possibilities of a much more tolerant world. I welcome this new reality into our lives. I was sick and tired of whispering. Peace be with us all.
People I don't know have been hugging me all night and know i will look back on this bootleg video and still remember that deep feeling of relief and keep hope for a better future. That's what it is.
I Love you..God Bless. I am Happy and welcome to humanity.

Journalism is dead.
found an interesting quote by a blogger on hyves.nl
%u201CDuring the Cold War, a group of Russian journalists toured the United States. On the final day of their visit, they were asked by their hosts for their impressions. %u2018I have to tell you,%u2019 said their spokesman, %u2018that we were astonished to find after reading all the newspapers and watching TV, that all the opinions on all the vital issues were by and large, the same. To get that result in our country, we imprison people, we tear out their fingernails. Here, you don%u2019t have that. What%u2019s the secret? How do you do it?%u2019%u201D

May I relax now please?
Free my locks. Run and fly, flailing my arms as I drop in to the ocean. This moment reminds me of that feeling you get right when you've run, stepped or jumped off that cliff with your eyes wide open...and there's nothing you can do but wait to be submersed in cool, salty Caribbean ocean. While you are down there its quiet. All you can hear through the water pressure against your eardrums is the antithesis of the giant splash you just made, for the air bubbles you have created and brought down with you are shooting back up to surface creating a high pitch symphonic sound as you open your eyes under the water searching for your bikini top.
OBAMA PLOT? Really?
How Ugly.
Words are so easily manipulated...
Plus it seems they only caught this BY ACCIDENT...
Here is the more disturbing update with the image of the young man in contrast to the Obama video pic...The Update/
I am staying optimistic America.
