History: From Slave Quarters to the White House
I just can't allow myself to get used to the amazing event thats taking place.
Last year (hell, the last 8 years) I didn't even watch the inauguration.
I can't believe that this happened in my lifetime. I'm watching history; I'm here for what my kids, and kids' kids will read about in history books and online.
I felt enough emotion when he won the election, and now after the inauguration we can call him President Obama.
I'm not gonna get emotional yet, hence this seems appropriate...

I'm going to watch & listen to his speech when I come home from work.
Oh yeah, Jay Z's hat. He took it back to Whodini on this one

Obama Mini-Parade 2008
I'm forgot about this vid I made as I left work on Election night. People just started walking down market Street with Obama signs and American flags, cheering. I would have had more to show, but my car broke down, so I had to worry about getting home instead of joining in the fun.
My life, boy...

Change..Gonna Come...
This song used to bring me to tears because it was in the movie Malcolm X, but now it has a new meaning for me: The Obama presidential campaign. I know the song seems to speak of a sad change in life, but I know that Obama represents a change for the better
President of the United States

Words cannot express how I feel. I had always hoped for this day, but I never thought it would happen in my lifetime. America really came out and supported who they thought was the best person for the job.
AS I listened to the vote count I was happy to hear he won Pennsylvania, but I couldn't believe that he won Ohio, or that the Republican vote in Ohio went from 40% in 2004 to 30% this year.
As the night went on, I didn't yell, holler or jump around. I quietly sat and reflected on what this means, how we got here, and all the sacrifices made for hundreds of years for that day to come about

This is only the beginning; there is much work to do.
McCain's speech was one of the best I ever heard him give, and reminded me why I used to like him. Very gracious and honest.

New Obama T Shirt
While looking at sexy internet model/video vixen Summer Walker, I saw a funny Obama t-shirt, even more than him dunking on McCain.
The Classic RUN DMC Def Jam logo, with a funny twist of what we hope he does this January.

Been away too long!!
Sorry for the lack of updates. I can't believe its been a month. July came in with a bang and I've been busy with a site I'm designing.
I came across this Obama poster from the guys at Morning Breath. I love these guys typography.

Barack Obama: A More Perfect Union Speech 2008
I know this is supposed to be about design, but I can't ignore the historical politics thats going on around me, and I refuse to ignore what may be the best speech about race in America that I have heard in my life time.
Barack Obama speaks in Philadelphia, PA at Constitution Center, on matters not just of race and recent remarks but of the fundamental path by which America can work together to pursue a better future.
I wish I there just to hear his words and feel the emotion (and the hate) in the room.
