President Barack Obama!
Today marks a historic day in American history. It was only 60 years ago that a Black man would not have been allowed to even sit in the same room as a White man. Today he took the Oath of Office becoming the 44th President of the United States and becoming the first ever African American to hold the office of President in this country.
With that said, I can truly say I feel proud to be part of this country. For the past 8 years there have been good times but a lot of downs as well, too many really. I have a new sense of inspiration and hope with this man in office. Much like him I am following the same path. He went to Occidental College for undergrad, like me, but transferred 2 years later to Columbia, where I am now finishing up my graduate studies. Harvard next for me?! I don't know. Reality is, I do feel that a politician and a man of his stature can change this country and the world. I just hope and pray for his safety and well-being.
As of today, 1/20/2009, there is NO EXCUSE for why anyone can say that "I can't do it" and to say that they will never be anything in this world. In my lifetime I never taught I would see a Black man be President of the United States, I'm only 22 years old and watched it Live today.
To my students, and those of the generation after me. It is your time to live up to the expectations set forth not only by President Obama, but by us, your teachers. Realize that you are living in a time that history has been made and where each of us needs to do our part.
We are proud of this man, not because he is the first Black President, but because we all see a part of us in him. I see that drive to succeed, the will of doing of what's best for others, like I see in myself. I see the streets of Eagle Rock, the entrance to Columbia, just like he did. We must all do our part to change this country, to make this world a better place. It is not about ONE anymore but about US. What happens from now on is not a measure of success regarding President Obama, but regarding ourselves as a society.
To all the LA kids it proves that you can go from:
1600 Campus Road to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

FK Lebron...SMFH!
So I'll give the short story first...I know I haven't posted in a long time but I saw this as post worthy...
So a HUGE Lebron James collector, one of the top ones in this culture got screwed by the man himself. He waited in line to get the Lebron VI editions that released on Saturday. He is a size 12. Lebron showed up and got all the size 8s, 12s, and 15s. Leaving people who were waiting in line for these sizes, and may I add to wear, without a chance to buy them in their size. Like Lebron couldn't call up Nike and request pairs for him and his buddy?! Get the fk out of here with that King James. A more in depth post will be given later.

Randy Pausch Has Passed Away...
After a long battle with terminal pancreatic cancer, Prof. Randy Pausch Ph.D., famous for his Last Lecture at Carnegie-Melon, whom inspired a lot of people, including myself to live life as if there was no tomorrow and to appreciate life and love like everyday was your last has passed away. If there was anything that we can learn from this man who knew death was only months away once he was told of his cancer, is to live life, be happy, don't loose sleep over the little things, and most of all, love those who you love everyday like their is no tomorrow.
Dr. Randy Pausch passed away at his home on July 25th , he leaves behind a wife and four young children.

Don't Believe What You've Been Told...
My beautiful fiance, highly recommended me to see this movie, Zeitgeist I'm a big conspiracy theory and well this blows all of them all of the water. Take a look into relgion, 9/11 and our economic system. It'll make you think. It's about 2 hours long but well worth it. Link is below and it's free, lol.
