I have a dream and it has happened!!!

We as Americans have taken a giant step toward a more free and perfect union. President-elect Barack Obama will be our next President of the United States. As emotions run high on both sides of the platforms, I applaud all who voted. This is probably the highest voter turn out ever. It is amazing to think that only forty years ago, the thought of a African-American President was just a Dream. A Dream by not just like-skinned Americans, but free and forward thinking Americans that have spread the seed of education to their children.

I can see that we are making the choice. A massive wave of choices of others have led us up to capture this moment. We are a great nation and now we wait in a earnest, tired, ready, and somewhat amazed state of mind to be apart of a great change, moreover, a great Dream that all men ARE created equal and we can stand united to overcome the problems we ALL face.

Cooking up some Thoughts

I was cooking the other day and had a thought. Cooking is like having a conversation with someone. First, I need all the ingredients to prepare. That is like gathering thoughts to talk about. So once my thoughts are gathered, I put them together and make sure the timing is right. This is when the food is cooking. Making sure everything is finished at the same time and cooked accordingly. Once I have 'cooked' my thoughts, it is about the way it looks or is presented. I don't want it to say what its not. Seems a little crazy, but when cooking I have these, what seem to me, little epiphanies. Some are profound and others are kind of weird.
