That hasn’t been already said on this day? Whether what is said is full of tears, or joy, or hope, or bitter denouncements. We came with baggage, generations in the making. Baggage many of us today would not have chosen and long over due to be left by the side of the road. Even if that means we make the journey ahead with nothing but ourselves; memory, the clothes on our backs, and the hands we build with. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’m OK with that.
It is the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fucking fabulous.
"Change is the process by which the future invades our lives, and it is important to look at it closely, not merely from the grand perspectives of history, but also from the vantage point of the living, breathing individuals who experience it."
-Alvin Toffler, Future Shock
"The art of progress is to preserve order amid change, and to preserve change amid order. Life refuses to be embalmed alive. The more prolonged the halt in some unrelieved system of order, the greater the crash of the dead society."
-Alfred North Whitehead, Process and Reality
Its nice to feel grateful and happy for Americans (for a change)! Woot!
Yeah happy happy joy joy. But why the hell did they have to cut through Jeopardy for his coronation.
If I may quote “Air America” – America, fuck yeah!
I’m hopeful but guarded. I am praying he turns out to be the great leader he seems to be right now but he has a rather uphill battle before him. I hope he has the balls.
Hallelujah! I couldn’t be prouder to be an American.
