HISTORY

I’ve been in and out of the house all day but I haven’t been able to get the sense of accomplishment and progress off of my heart. I don’t know if I can really state how I feel about Barack’s inauguration in a way that hasn’t been overstated all day long via Twitter, Facebook/CNN Chat, Myspace and whatever else has up to the minute updating capability. I will say that I am for the first time, really PROUD to be American. And of course I’m not sitting here thinking President Obama is Santi Clause and gonna travel around giving us all gifts in the ghetto or that Gas Prices will suddenly go down to 50¢ per gallon. But it is truly inspiring to see the good guy and girl win.  For a while I began feeling like many games in this country are only to be played by people who can play dirty and keep their own selfish values at the forefront of their intentions. This doesn’t seem to be the case at all here.  I’m looking forward to some of the progress we’ll be able to make in the months and years to come after this historical day.  I’m on daddy duty so unfortunately, I’m not out at any Inauguration Balls tonight in DC. I read about all the performances though on Twitter mobile so I feel like I saw it.

I did, however, see Mall Cop with my kid which was pretty good.  And I don’t think there was one swear in the whole movie. Sweet.

I’m in the midst of posting some tour dates for the Spring with Mr. Lif and crew promoting the new album “I Heard It Today.” Check the Schedule for the full details.  And check out Lif’s new song simply entitled Obama below.
