* Black/White photo from the cover of the Chicago Sun-TimesWords to describe….how does one describe it? ARE there words to describe how I am feeling right now???

I went to vote before I went to work yesterday morning. About 6:45am. I was number 381. I was out of the church by 7:12am No problem with lines, wrong address, nothing. Completely smooth. If only the rest of my life could be like that.

Besides Shells, I do believe we are the only Democrat’s in the office. Several people were still on cloud 9 from Sarah Palin and Hank Williams Jr being across the street from our office building the day before so me and Shells kinda huddled together for the most part of the day as chitchat circulated around us. Today…complete silence….is it THAT scary?

I let Jalil stay up until about 11:30 last night to listen to the news. I figured it would be hell to wake him up this morning but that boy rolled out of bed with bells on and they were chiming ‘YES WE CAN’ or ‘YES WE DID’ as Christy said. He was worried about having to take our yard sign down. I told him that it could stay out there as long as he wanted it to. Hey, if people can keep Christmas lights up all year ‘round, why cant I leave my Obama/Biden campaign sign up?
~
Again, the same as last week, after listening to this man, I closed my eyes and imagined him being several hundred feet from me. That energy that surrounds him, just from memory alone came through the TV. Once again I felt the need to do something and be about something. I respected his mention of Senator McCain and Govenor Palin. I loved his reference to his daughters and the puppy they deserved. I felt the warmth when he mentioned his best friend, his wife. I raised a fist when he said that we have to rebuild this country together, no divide between the parties. And I cried at the mention of his grandmother. My grandmother, would NEVER NNNNNNNNNNNEVA in a hundred years would think, or hope this possible. I picture her same ‘Gotdamn….he did it!’ She’d say some other things but its best I don’t put them out there. My ex called and we talked and then he wanted to talk to Jalil. Lawrence called, his voice gruff, he talked quietly about his mom and dad. How he’d wished they had seen this. Experienced this. That this is no longer a possibility. This is reality. An amazing beautiful reality.

I have been copying and saving stuff all day today. I want to put articles and pictures on a disc or something. I will of course get magazines and newspapers. I have a friend in Chicago and he’s sending me some copies of The Chicago Sun-Times newspaper today (if he can get it) but I want some of the video clips or feeds that different websites have. I copied the transcripts from President (elect) Obama’s speech. Senator McCain’s concession speech was heartfelt. I’ve copied that transcript as well but I want to get the actual speech. Just so much history and so little time.

Lay off My Wife
I have forwarded this video around for the better part of 2 days.
This is really an
article but its got a video clip on it. Watch the video clip.
I got a kick out of it because at one point, where Obama is saying to the GOP to lay off his wife, Michelle Obama gets this look on her face...and then she giggles. Giggles. I seen that look and I swear to you I seen nothing but 'I want to rip your clothes off RIGHT NOW!'
At that point, the camera looks at him and he has this look on his face where, I swear, he was not a politician. He was simply, a man. A husband protecting his wife. And something about that...hell...I was ready to rip his clothes off.
This has absolutely NOTHING to do with politics or voting. Now, back to our serious lives again....
