Time for a change....

Well as all of you know Obama did it....

What a great victory. I am sure proud that there is finally color in the white house. Not overly excited like I am sure some of the southern states are; more like a "yay! that's great" excitement.

With his win, comes alot of fear. I know that we live in the United States and we stand for "Equal Rights" but it is still not 100% true. There are still white supremacist out there that think we don't deserve to breath the air they do.

I don't have a problem with white people or feeling like the world owes me something because of what has happen in the past. I have a college education, have the freedom to vote if I choose to, and can date whoever I want without being killed and for that I am grateful.

I recently saw some pictures from Africa ( I am a visual learner). These kiddos were crying because they just wanted something to eat... clothes.... a ball.

A great deal of sadness and feeling of selfishness ran through my brain when I went to the mall yesterday evening and looked at $100 shirts and $10 panties.

Making a difference will be a challenge but I am willing to try it. I know they will be grateful and overwhelmed with joy.

So to the people who made yesterday a day in history to remember.

Thank you!

Under Pressure...

Politics.... a dreaded topic that makes even the most cordial conversations knock- down drag out fights.

I understand that voting is important and that it is my right as an American citizen to help choose who runs the country into the ground even more than it already is.

I will go ahead and just say it. I am not registered to vote. ( I know, I know) But is that not my choice to choose if I want to participate or not?

For Your Information, I don't complain about our president, nor do I know everything about the judicial system. So, in return I would expect not to be harassed when people find out that I am not registered.

Of course that is not how it happens. I literally had a co-worker sit at my computer and force me to download the application for registration. (I felt very uncomfortable)

Being a minority and a woman is a big deal. People fought long and hard to get these rights that we possess today.

It is just not my thing. I will be OK with whatever America decides.

At least I do know who the candidates are...
