Bradley Effect My Ass!

As I sit in a less-than-optimal, but harder to find position than i once thought, I experienced one of the honestly best feelings of my life. As my experiences with women will attest, I rarely shed a tear about anything. And tonight I honestly almost broke down. If I was with a different crowd, in a different bar, in a different situation, with people more supportive of my beliefs, I probably would have. Despite a few setbacks of the evening (the racist dude behind me who kept insisting on Obama's assasination during his acceptance speech, with which I almost fist fought him over), I don't think ecstatic can even express my feelings. I am inspired in a way I have not been in a long time.
Such is the reason I created this blog, at 11pm on election night, when I should be out drinking and celebrating. I have been thinking about it for a very long time, but not felt inspired to do so.
And that's what Barack does. He inspires. Overcoming racism, overcoming being a long shot for the position perhaps most highlighted of anywhere in the World, Barack has done it. When is the last time a President has inspired an average-freakin-Joe to be healthier and more ambitious than he normally is. Certainly never in my lifetime.
The day I realized I was 100% behind Barack was the day I read an interview in Men's Health, in which he stated despite being a middle aged politician, he still managed 45 minutes of cardio 6 days a week. I was shocked, but then began wondering why I, who surely has an easier schedule than Barack, couldn't do such a simple thing like work out frequently. This is crazy, considering most politicians are 60-something, very overweight white men, who are only living because of advancements in medication and healthcare.
I called everyone who is very close to me. I clapped. I almost cried. I even gave credit to John McCain for his best speech yet, his concession speech, where it finally felt like he was speaking from his heart, right to the nation. I felt alive for the first time in a long time, and I am happy to be part of such a historic night. I am one out of entire nation, and I finally feel that in both politics and my career that one person can make a difference in the World.
Honestly, I don't give a f*ck if another person ever reads this. It needed to be written down. I have been keeping a music journal for oh so long, and now I'm finally going to begin sharing it with the World. I am part of the next generation. I am important. Thank you Barack, for making me feel that way. The end (for now).
