ONE-TWENTY-TWOTHOUSAND-NINE

 

I'm all late. But i gotta say I'm still inspired by all the events for the 56th inaugural. I just got back from DC last night so i really hadn't had a chance to write--but the whole scene was crazy. There weren't 4 million people there, it was probably more like 3 mill but still, when you see that many people in a relatively small space for one man it gives you chills. Maybe the chills were from the 22 degree high for the day. I drove up, and on the way my heat decided not to work so i was cold from the time i left Atlanta up until last night. The drive was long and arduous. The walk from the metro to the national mall was longer than the drive. Not to mention i was up for a good 30+ hours. But with all that, knowing the circumstances I'd do it again in a heart beat. Like my brother said "the juice is worth the squeeze." Supposedly there were 1.8 million people on the mall with another million or so on the parade route and at the end of the day there were no arrests. I guess people had respect for the moment. Oh yeah i ran this weekend but thats sooo not worth writing about

2008

Its crazy how so many people had a pretty sorry 2008 and cant wait for 2009. So let me say in my usually dramatic fashion that 2008 was the all-time worst! With such dissonance and disarray its ironic that 2008 carries so much weight and importance. I'm seeing that the universe has a way of balancing itself out. With that being the case 2009 is going to be the greatest of all time...

Department of Transportation

I wont be taking driving for granted for a while. This past weekend i found out that my license is suspended, and has been so for the last 6 months. Apparently i'm an irresponsible dude. Last february i http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifwent to NC to visit my family for a weekend and to get away from my roommate who was bothering me. On the way back i got pulled over for going 5 MPH over the speed limit. (as i mentioned in a post in February) In the midst of traveling and training and working and having too much fun i forgot all about this stinkin ticket. As it turns out, that was a costly mistake. I'm sure sometime in the last few months i thought about paying it but it just wasn't a high priority for me. Not such a good idea either. When you don't pay tickets, they don't just go away like i originally thought. So now instead of a $125 ticket, i have a $251 citation. I think they taxed that extra dollar at the end to mess with me. But thats not really the problem, the issue is i have to either mail the check to the court and they'll get back to me whenever they feel like it, and THEN i can get my license reinstated. or i have to drive to a place called mecklenburg North Carolina and pay it in person. I may not be driving until thanksgiving if this is the case. Moral of the story: pay your tickets, especially when out of state.

Katy Perry Remix

Check out my remix. And Of course i did the budget visuals for it. Hold your applause!

THE RNC (YEEEE HAAAAW)

I've been delinquent in my bloggery. I've been remiss in not commenting on how proud i am of "obiden" and the dnc. But what better time to write than the start of the RNC. Its old, its raggedy, its curmudgeonly, and its the rally for the retards and for whatever reason i'm gonna watch the majority of it. Already in the 1st two nights it lacks luster, but i guess the conventions have never been about excitement rather a platform to restate policies and agendas. But with Obama on the other side, and a woman with whom controversy follows, its become very entertaining. It is sort of a circus. Something the tabloids will get a hold of. Im sure Palin is gonna be on those crappy magazines you see at the grocery check-out lines for months to come. Needless to say, im voting for Obama. He's Black, i'm Black...thats good enough for me. But seriously, like a good friend of mine said to me on the phone the other day "you'd be crazy to not vote for Barck O if you want something better for this country." I agree. These folks giving their speeches at the RNC have this convoluted quote stating its not about the party its about the country. I thought thats what it was always supposed to be about.
The Repubs keep bringing up "keeping the country safe" and 9/11 no doubt was the catalyst for it all; putting fear in the heart of your enemies is a good tactic on most levels....So lets look at this thing objectively, no one fears McCain, i mean, look at him. And if he is no longer able to perform his presidential duties (smart money is betting on it) Palin will have her finger on the button? Word? You tell me what "our" enemies will think then. Not a good look. But for the next two days let the idiocy continue.

Not Broadcasting Coloreds

1st off let me state that i'm a fan of michael phelps and think what he did was amazing and we probably wont see anything like it ever again, hopefully...The news media is having way too much fun with the story. Phelps this, Phelps that, look at michael phelps mom and sisters. Its the kind of sensationalizing I would love if i had any prior interest in these people. But see the thing is the united states is only interested in such athletes every four years, and only if the 42 year old soccer mom would approve. I'd hate to think its a racial thing.
NBC did a few segments on his mom preceding his races and it quickly turned into over kill. Then came Dara Torres and Misty May-Treanor and a bunch of other stories that all superceded any track events. They let you know well ahead of time that they were showing Dara Torres at 10:37 PM and Michael Phelps was 7 minutes after that. That left me sitting there for 3 plus hours wondering when the hell are they going to show the 100 meter final? I'd like to get on with my life. I guess theres no intrigue in the 100 meters anymore since we're all on that stuff. Or is there no intrigue becuase usian bolt isnt a figure that white americans can embrace? I'm sure that's part of the equation. All i know is beach volleyball, while mildly entertaining, should never under any circumstance get more air time than track and field. And Michael Phelps mom doesn't deserve more camera time than David Oliver or Lauryn Williams.
