So my little bro is here with his cute son my newphew Brandon. I am so loving this kid. he is absolutely adorable. I do not think i have seen a more cute kid but maybe that's just because i am his uncle :-) I had a bunch of good friends over. They were taking away my holding him time :-( but i got him in my arms the next night when i went back. Will be sad to see him head back to sf.

Dancing @ Citron

well dancing again with Christine and some friends. Danced for 3 hours straight. The music was not what i normally like. Lots of techno put in it but i have to say it was really fun.

Obama is already a Success in my book

I was thinking today about past movements like the million man march. How these things were set to only allow a certain people to come and join a struggle. Then i was thinking about how Obama has really brought everyone together. Even if he does nothing as president he has already done so much for this great country.

I will never understand groups that try to separate them selves based on culture, or race with out welcoming in other cultures of races. Its ok to have pride in your self but always welcome others to join in that celebration. If you make all feel included you can surely have peace. If not expect to have conflict.

Some say i will never understand. Its true I will not understand this. I see separation as the enemy of peace. When I see people being exclusive it makes me mad. Weather its race, culture, rich or poor. I will never understand this, only despise it. All of my friends come in all shapes and colors and I do not even think about this. I do not even look at my friend as you are black or you are Asian ect. Just you are my friends. Hate will never end until people stop pointing out how we are different and instead point out how we are the same.

I am not a Democrat and not a republican. I am an independent who always looks at the issue and the candidate NOT the parties. But I really felt Obama's message went over all of these parties and did something no other candidate really ever did. It brought us all a little closer. That in itself is a remarkable thing, and if you do not feel this then you must be one of the people who believe in being exclusive and could be scared about what is coming. Because Omama's message is American's message. Born a couple hundred yeara ago when a young country said no to a king, and wrote a document that said all people are created equaly. When young men and woman stood up agaist tirany in wars in the name of freedom. This day shows that why our founding fathers ideas were ahead of their time. That one day their ideas would catch up to the human race and shape a new world of peace.

Just my feelings on it all :-)

Obama Inauguration - Truley an Amazing Day

Little did i know when i woke up this morning what adventure i would embark on. I know it would be crazy but just how crazy was it going to be. I had no idea.

Why is was so great to be in the thick of things. If took allot of hard work to get to near the stage.

I woke up at 5am to get to the crystal city metro at 530. One on it took us 45 min so go two stops. Each stop we sat their for a good 15 -20 mins. I knew at this rate i was not going to make it on time. So I bailed at the Farragut west metro stop and started to march with the thoughsands of other people towards the capital. With streets barracaded and lights flashing everywhere you walked it was easy to tell what direction it was. I would get to one street to relize there were so many people i would have to double back to try to get to my friend willi, his sister and her friend.

At about 8am i finally made it to willi. The swarm of people i had to get past to get to him was insane.

Then we waited in line for a long time finally getting up to the blue gate at about 10:30. This was the gate for our area where the Inauguration blue tickets worked. This was a long battle but worth fighting.

We entered into the blue area battle torn but ready for the show. Then the show started. It was so amazing. It was truly like watching history in the making. Looking on peoples faces you could see this was truly a remarkable event. I am so glad i could been there for this history in the making. I am excited to see what the next 4 years will bring. For the first time in a while i feel we have someone who maybe will look out for the interest of everyone. We shale see

Me and my boy Will dog with the our tickets.

Sheer number of people behind me was crazy - as fare as the eye could see

Praying before the swear in

a zoom in on the people on stage

we may it to the blue gate at last

Playing WII and Dance Night at Ultra

So last night i got to play the WII again. The bowling is really fun. I could so see getting one of these. Could be allot of fun. If i ever got my cafe open some day i would so put a WII in it and get some bowling going. Anyways the purpose of us getting together was to go over Willies bachelor party and guy hang out. Man my boy is getting married pretty soon. I can not wait. Looking forward to it. Then we headed out to ultrabar to dance. The dancing was off the hoo as always. Me and willi really feed off each other and get crazy. Always fun to dance with my brother and his girl.
