wow

Well on this great night, I saw something I never expected to see in MY lifetime. This is one for the books as History is still being written and I am proud to say I was a Witness. I will talk of this moment for years to come.

"If I could find the spot where truth echoes
I would stand there and whisper memories of my children's future
I would let their future dwell in my past
so that I might live a brighter now" - Saul Williams

The moment where the house filled up with my father's loud claims of victory running down two sets of stairs arms in the air to shake us up. The moment I turned my sight away from the tv screen with a large smile and faced him and saw a tear come down from his right eye. Eyes red from the sleep he deprived himself of just to see it all happen. The moment a black man was elected president in another country and how it meant so much to us.

"Here I go again, the same old shit
My mind is still playing tricks
Cause today when I left my residence
I heard we had a new black president
And he wasn't no Uncle Tom
Rudy poo stankin' fetch house n!gga scum
And white folks wasn't planning to murder him kid
Cause they voted for him just like the blacks did
And this might sound reckless
But I got a loan on a brand new Lexus in Texas
If I'm lying I'm dying, everybody was color blind
Went to church and I gotta admit
Walked in, didn't see one hypocrite
It appeared every single soul was reached
Cause the pastor practiced what he preached" - Willie D

I just pinched myself and I wasn't dreaming!

"Some dreams stay dreams, some dreams come true" - Nas

Hot dang, this whole election got me excited. Anxious to see the final results.

"C'mon now, make it happen, make it happen" - Big Daddy Kane

"Yeah I'm afraid, like I'm scared as a dog
But I've got a new song, and I want y'all to sang alooooooong
Sang aloooooooooong..
See this is the way that we walk on a sunny, day
when it's rainin inside and you're, all alooooooooone
All aloooooooooone - yeah!
Cause the whole, world, loves it when you don't get down
(Bah bah-da, bah bah bah-da da)
And the whole, world, loves it when you make that sound
(Bah bah-da, bah bah bah-da da)
And the whole, world, loves it when you're in the news
(Bah bah-da, bah bah bah-da da)
And the whole, world, loves it when you sang the blues
(Bah bah-da, bah bah bah-da da)" - Outkast

"The country's headed for recession reminiscent of the Great Depression
Are lives worth a world of power? Easy question" - Mr. Lif

The recession is creeping up north of the border, don't close ur eyes. It's time to start saving what u can!

"Ignorance is venemous, and it murders the soul
Spreading like a virus running rampant, but out of control"

I know the word of the day is Hustling, but please keep it legit.

"look, my n!gga Al had a store in his trunk
and the place under the dash where he store his pump
he had them white on white 'Air Force Ones' for 40 ($)
and them iddy-biddy-kiddy ones for shorty
he was just trying to survive the recession
now he's locked up for stolen goods and gun posession" - Masta Ace

It's hard seeing how some of our hard earned money is being spent especially in these hard times.

"President Bush will bring us out of this recession
We'll all have jobs when American numbers are lessened
Blessings are said, so no one will get hurt
Yo - I need a Shield, but it's not for the Desert
It's a shield for the ills that builds 
with this rampant nationalization; we're not dealin in humanism
P.O.W.'s, M.I.A.'s unknown soldiers in unknown graves
Let's bring 'em home safe" - 3rd Base

Keep your chins up, coz in the end it's mostly about money, don't forget family is the real fortune!

"At night the evil armies of Shaton don't play
So the family stick together and we never betray." - Fugees

Peace!

Happily Ever After...

This video gives me hope that real love and the concept of living old like this still exists.

I like his comment : "Is that all there is to it?" He's giving the play by play like it's nothing. I've seen kids coming off this type of ride practically crying. They're great! Can only hope to find a woman like that and live my life to the fullest with her.
