The Perpetual Procrastinator

So here it is, December 10th, and my flaw is very obvious... Though totally well intentioned, I am a perpetual procrastinator. Why do today what can be put off until tomorrow? Well that mentality has never served me well, and is in fact screwing me as we speak.
For the sake of continuity, I should probably backtrack to the topic of my first two entries: Our new President Elect Barack Obama! Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so proud. I am so very hopeful. Not only did President Elect Obama win. He won by a landslide. He shifted traditionally Red states. He represents the wants, needs and desires of the American people - hope and change. I am excited for the day my children learn about the election of the first black president, when I can look them in the face and tell them that their mommy and daddy voted for him, did our part to promote his campaign, even had a Jack O'Lantern on our front porch with his name in it's mouth (I called it my Jack O'Bama). I am excited to tell them about the election night. How my mother called me crying tears of joy and relief when he won. How friends who never had an ounce of interest in politics were furiously facebooking one another as the results came in. It was one of those moments in history where you will always remember exactly where you were when it happened. It am still at a complete lack of words to describe what I felt the moment the words flashed on CNN that Barack Obama has been declared the next President of the United States of America. It was beautiful. Not because he's black - or even half black. That truly is irrelevant. My joy came from the fact that he is going to give new hope to this nation. He has inspired a nation.
Mr. Bush - There is the door. Don't let it hit you on the ass on the way out.

Recently i've been introduced to several blogs written by people I know and love. Reading them, and learning from them, and being quite entertained by them has inspired me to share the link to my blog with some people. It's a little scary for me - not unlike the idea of publishing my journals for public perusal - which, for the record, would never happen. But I feel empowered to let people in. So, I think I will. I make no guarantees to educate or even have the slightest effect on my readers lives, and I most certainly won't guarantee perfect grammar! This is simply a chance to take a look at what makes me tick. The good, the bad and the ugly.
