one cannot be partially dead …

You know they all say that if you want to be a writer or whatnot then just write stuff. Don`t worry about whether it`s good or bad, just get it down.

Of course it`s the new year and all that. The new president is going to be sworn in on tuesday. Everyone and their mothers brother will be watching. It`s a pretty big change. A black male president. Impressive, if you ask me. Of course the real question, the one on everyones mind is, what`s he going to do ? I know I would like to know. So far he seems to be a man of conscience. One who will consult his peers and advisors and think about the effects of his decisions. Long and short term. Of course the obvious is that he`s black and if he has a hope or prayer of being re-elected, he has to get it right the first time. Whether you like it or not, this country has a very racist vibe to it, period. The other thing on everyones mind is, what is king george the second going to do ? We all wonder if he has one final card up his sleeve to play out on us. If anyone has ever been hated more it`s king george. I know we are all relieved that he`s done.

I had some other things to say, that I thought were witty and sarcastic, and would be very thought provoking and all. I guess when I thought it over, it just seemed mean spirited and spiteful. So in that sense, what good does it really do ? In a way, yes I want to come across as edgy, and play devils advocate with you. That has been, and always will be my motivation, and drive. I find that too many of us are cruising down the highway of life in our mental coffins. Slowly welding that steel cage around our minds alittle tighter each passing day. So from me, I sincerely wish and hope that the collective unconscious of humanity will wake up alittle bit, and not be partially dead.
