Alright, here's the deal... I wanna go to D.C.
I want to be there when Barack Obama takes his oath of office and becomes the Nation's First Black President. I don't have to have seats, heck I'll stand for the entire event if I have to. I don't wanna go to the after parties, or the inauguration balls... I just wanna be there.
The last event that had me this excited was the Million Man March back in 95' , but I was just 14 years old, and my dad (who participated in many civil rights acts in the mid 60's) didn't think that it would be a good idea for me to attend. The Day after (actually a few days later) when the men (my dad, his friends, a few teachers, and some other people we knew) returned with their stories, pictures, and renewed hope I was kinda sad that I wasn't able to participate in what I thought would be the last big event of my lifetime... But that was until November 4th, 2008 when Barack Obama did it again!
I have no idea how I'm gonna get there (yes, I know I'm only 2, maybe 3 hours from D.C.), or what I'm gonna do once I do get there.. But I am going to be there! Kyle wants toi know where we're gonna get tickets from, and my answer is simple" I don't need no tickets!" He asks where we're gonna stay, and my answer is "In the car if I have to". I don't think he understands just how serious this has become to me. Since Barack has become our President Elect, I feel like there is nothing that I can not do... and getting to D.C. is not that hard!
So now, my question to you is where will you be on January 20th 2009?
