"To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards out of men."

Don't worry. This isn't going to be a post dedicated to flaunting my political stance. No, no, and no. Democrat, Republican, Left, Right, Blue, Red, tonight, at this very moment it does not matter. Lincoln said, "The time comes upon every public man when it is best for him to keep his lips closed." Well, said Abraham, well said. So, don't get your panties in a twist. You can keep your opinion and I will keep mine (to myself).
But today was a day unlike any other (I just had to share). Barack Obama had a rally in my backyard (obviously not literally). Mr.President had a post-debate rally at the Tennis Center in Delray Beach, Florida. I woke up at five this morning, grabbed my ticket and headed out the door. Yeah, I waited in line for quite sometime. Yeah, I almost had my foot run over by some careless driver. Yeah, I still had to go to work after it was all said and done. Yeah, I am literally a walking zombie (I am not even sure how I haven't fallen face first on my lap top). Yet, despite all of my exhaustion, it was absolutely worth it. The energy that surrounded us in that tennis center was undeniably the most exhilarating sensation ever. Ever. The momentum made the exhaustion disappear (I wish I could say the same once I sat at my desk). And, come on. He is the president of our country, it was an honor to witness history unfolding itself before my eyes. Trust me when I say this, they weren't lying when they said he could, "Fire it Up". Because, darlings, we were fired up. True story.
Barack Obama you rock!
I've said this before and I will say this again, my opinions belong to me and me alone. I am in no way whatsoever making an attempt to persuade you otherwise. My father always said there were three topics never to be discussed; religion, sports and politics (at least not in public).
Dreamland awaits me.
