NaBloPoMo 4: This Has Nothing to Do with NaBloPoMo or NaNoWriMo

I'm just ... really happy tonight. I was thinking where I was on a night like this 16 years ago, at the apartment of some close friends as we thrilled at the election of Bill Clinton. Boy, does that look like a minor party compared to how I felt watching President-Elect Barack Obama's victory speech in Grant Park tonight. I haven't been that emotionally moved during this whole campaign as I was when he fell into his preacher-like "Yes we can" portion of that speech ... and the moment was intercut with a woman watching at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.

Things are turning around. And man, does it feel good.

Barack Obama Owes Me Money.

Well, he does, at least, if one can copyright photographic poses.



On the left is a self-portrait taken August 2007. On the right is Peter Yang's photo for the cover of the current issue of Rolling Stone.



No need to send me any money, Barack. You can show your appreciation by stemming the flow of junk mail with your name in the upper righthand corner of the envelopes.
