Celebrating The Dream

All of my life, the observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday has been a day off of school and work, reflecting on the dream that Dr. King dreamed for our futures.

In 2004, I cast a vote for a man for US Senator with a funny name, I knew little about. In February 2007, I recognized the dream when said senator announced his candidacy for the Presidency. A year later, $200 million and counting in grassroots fundraising, 38 delegates (to her 36 delegates) going into the Democratic National Convention, on this observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday I celebrate the actualization of his dream.

Senator Barack Obama is very well on his way to becoming the Democratic Nominee for president. I say this not due to polling, debates, his charisma, but it his willingness to stand up in a time where someone needs to stand up for change with no pretense, just as Dr. King did.

View Senator Obama’s speech at Ebenezer Baptist Church yesterday in Atlanta.

I am celebrating the dream. Now the next step is finding my place in the contribution to the changes that are beginning to mobilize.

Well its 2008 and 18 days old. I have not been blogging due to various reasons, but I have done my technology upgrades and I am now ready to begin my writing all over again.

Obama is #1 with 25 delegates going into the Nevada Caucuses. I am staunchly against Hillarious and her entire candidacy because it does not represent the real America that wants new, fresh change. Experience is nothing especially when the past 16 years have gone from one experience to the next.

my rant is over, Obama 4 Prez!

I did not make any new years resolutions, I think things from 2007 are resolving themselves. I am learning so much more about myself and my life.

So expect 2008 to be more of my life and its wonky wonders.

Peace!

While sending a friend of mine the preview for Season 2 of The Boondocks by genius/activist/artist/writer Aaron McGruder, I mistakenly typed, Sickipedia instead of wikipedia. I thought it was cool, so I looked it up and found the real Sickipedia. Some of the humor on the site is very crude, it is free speech. There are some funnies on there that I found myself laughing out loud.

 

“A man goes into a library and asks for a book on suicide.
The librarian says; “Fuck off, you won’t bring it back.”

“Thank God for the “Save Maddie” fund. Her parents can afford a babysitter now.”

“I was at a cash machine when an old lady came up to me and asked to check her balance. So I pushed her over!!”

“I parked in a disabled space today and a traffic warden shouted to me…
Ok, whats your disability?
I said “Tourettes! now fuck off you cunt!”

“Why don’t black people go on Cruises?
They’re not falling for that one again!”

 you have just read an excerpt from the upcoming wonkipedia….

 

oh and for the boondocks preview…
