8:33am

I will be live blogging right up to the swearing in of our new president. I will be blogging from my blackness and my back ground as a black person seeing a black president sworn in to office of the united states of america.

I fully realize that racism is not over and i know first hand that there are still some ignorant people in the usa but over all The American people are ready to change, they are ready for change and they spoke loud and clear that change was possible.

My parents are dead, my slaved grandparents are dead, my slaved great grandparents who were  born the bastard children of slave masters  are dead- but this day I view and use my eyes for them, i will see it all for them I will hear it all for them i will cry for them, my tears will flow, tears of joy for them.

 I think the dream of Martin L. King has began to be realized, however this is just the beginning of change. There is still work to be done, but today marks the beginning of The greatness of America rising above itself to  a greater place in my eyes.

I don't usually eat breakfast but right now i am going to eat breakfast and watch the news on MSNBC- waiting for the Obama Family to leave for the St. John Church..

Right now the crowd is rising on Washington DC.

9:23am
Watching the news cover this is exciting and at times disappointing also. Today is a day of celebration and today i don't want to hear about all the problems Obama is getting, we all know all the problems, i don't want a long drawn out report of how difficult it will be for him.

I just want to enjoy the day. So when they have some guest on the news talking about the negs, the gloom and doom speakers i mute the TV. We will face all that tomorrow but today, i WANT THE JUST DO CELEBRATION.
 
Today is not only historic, but for me as a black person today is truly spiritual. It is a feeling inside that only other black people are feeling today. Yes I know the world is feeling somethings too, but as a black person it is some sort of rebirth. I feel like christmas, new years and my birthday all rolled into one. I see those crowds today and it is amazing. There is happiness in the air.
 
There is pride in the air, there is togetherness in the air. We are one. Today we are one. And i don't understand how anyone, i mean anyone can not be proud in America today! If you don't feel any pride in the USA today there is something wrong with you! The transfer of power- the moment The Obamas arrive at the white house for coffee with the Bushes. Here we go!!!! Obama and Bush leaving white house In the car The motercade to the capital 11:15am Well THE presidents of past are now coming in and we are getting closer. I am almost holding my breath now and feeling light headed. The pictures of the crowds are amazing. THe ENERGY in washinton today is surely powerful and amazing. The air is clear and crisp from my TV view. I think i have the best seat in the house, i see everything! i feel the excitement. I feel the anticipation of the day. Its awesome! There are people everywhere, the place is packed. Not a green spot on the park and while we are all happy and in the festivities, the moving van is at the white house moving in the Obama's stuff! yea! Obama's stuff moving in the white house The first family comes in First daughters and first grand mother OMG!! the crowd is booing Bush!! singing nananana hey hey hey goodbye!!!
