Ay, the anticipation

Ok, we are a week and day away from Barack Obamas inaugeration, and the anticipation is killin me. I have a weird anticipatory feeling that i cannot shake. I've never felt so personally vesting in politics. Barack Obama and his political team have done a really good job. They found a way to humanize him and make people feel that they actually know him.

Its a brand new feeling for me because i've been generally detached from politics [ i mean, i know whats goin on, but in a kind of apathetic way] But now im actually going to put a portrait of the man in my house, like in those old 50's and 60's movies. You know the ones, they had the white jesus and the current president hanging in the family room. 

Its a good feeling because for my whole life i've honestly felt apathetic to many aspects of American culture. I guess this whole election has made me feel like, the son of an African American man and a Panamanian afro latina is just as American as the next guy. For my whole life i kinda felt like somewhat of a pilgrim, someone just passing through. Never really home. I know one thing, Inspiration is something that doesn't come all too often but when it comes, it can move you to the core

back to the books

peace&love
