In tip-toe anticipation...aren't you?

Good Times

Good Times.
Any time you meet a payment.
Good Times.
Any time you need a friend.
Good Times.
Any time you're out from under.

Not getting hastled, not getting hustled.
Keepin' your head above water, Making a wave when you can.

Temporary lay offs.
Good Times.
Easy credit rip offs.
Good Times.
Scratchin' and surviving.
Good Times.
Hangin in a chow line.
Good Times.
Ain't we lucky we got 'em.
Good Times.

After listening to our esteemed U.S. President, Barack Obama, this song came to mind. Now I must admit that I was a little skeptical...no SERIOUSLY doubtful about this young man in the driver's seat. I can remember last year when my best friend Nay and I were discussing the candidates. She says, "oh yea and there's this one guy running for the Democrats...Barack Obama." I was like...umm what the heck? Obama sound just like Osama...and his middle name is Hussein...is this not a red flag???

November 4, 2008 rolls around and here I am happily checking his name on my ballot. What can I say? His speech is impeccable yet sincere...he's classy without being arrogant and he's got enough hope to fill the Chief's stadium (lol, I know that was kinda wack but whatever). How can I argue with that? Plus, he understands that he can only go as far as God allows...but is it too good to be true? Naw, I won't get pessimistic too early - I'm looking forward to witnessing the amazing promises he's going to accomplish to rebuild our country.

I'm not at all political so I'll leave this alone for now. Just felt like writing. I would dazzle you with an in-depth poetic expression but Obama's speech said all that needed to be said.

Good night & God Bless guys!
