Obama Nominated by Acclimation

Hillary started it off and the feeling was so overwhelming. To hear the
crowd yell “YES!” when asked if everyone agreed with the nomination.
African-American people in the crowd cried and so did I. Just at the
thought of what was happening. We were all watching something so
amazing, something that I never thought I’d see in my lifetime. Tears
fell from my eyes whether I liked it or not. I made my fiancee cry. I
have always thought that Obama would win and that our country would be
better off because of it…but it was the crowds’ loud yes that made it
hit home…we are going to elect a Black man into office…we are all a
part of something so big…I am so proud…what would my father think
having been raised in Missouri in the pre-Brown vs. the Board of
Education days…he would be proud too.

photography efforts.

So in my effort to become more active in the Deviant Art world I created a poll to see if there is an interest in my idea of feature photographers via my DA Journal and an article. This would be posted on a weekly basis. In truth this kind of works both ways. I get to help others get their stuff seen (which is one thing i miss about not having my magazine up anymore) and it gets my name out there. Sure the “there” is the Deviant Art world but it’s a good world and who knows who actually is living there.

working

i’ve resolved to get more active. i’ve wanted to for a while but haven’t felt my best. my plan is to begin featuring photographers on DeviantArt with a weekly journal and news article. i’m planning on submitting my chapbook to Zygote in my Coffee. i need to work on this blog by adding links to it and adding this site to my Twitter page as well. i can’t decide if i should pitch my next comic review – The God Machine – to Geeks of Doom this week or wait until next month because i have two music reviews that are due on Sept. 30th. it may seem like enough time but with what’s going on in my life that month can feel like one week. so we’ll see about the last one. now…i must get to work!

still under construction…

i’m still working at this, trying to figure out it’s focus and now i think that i’ll be starting yet another blog. The second one would be strictly feminist/current events. but so much is on my mind right now (which is why my focus is floundering around somewhere across the street, around the corner or in a different state. the fiancee and are eloping this october and i can’t decide what my name should be…hyphenated? his? or mine?…or since i’ve changed my name legally should i go back to my family name? who knows…sigh it’s really about what i can live with and i don’t know what that is…so i’m going to stare at the TV for a while.
