today So I made my clients watch the inauguration today some of which were less than thrilled of the development mostly because they didn't get to watch a cartoon or funny movie. I was interested in the faces and behaviors of people mostly Obama, the song that was played right before he was sworn in was so beautiful and well done. I couldn't help but to notice his face, he seemed so calm and collected but was he really? I then put myself in the person of choice's shoes and try and feel what they are feeling at that exact moment, would I soak it all in or only pretend to? would I be worrying about my speech or am I confident that I have it all under control because that's what America expects; an in control new president full of hope and change. He did pretty well as he was sworn in a few stumbles here and there which I loved, yay he is human too! The speech was gorgeous and gave me chills even though I didn't vote for him I respect that he will fulfill his duties, especially now that he is not only a new very popular president but an icon for alteration. Not to mention that they have paper dolls of his whole family and interchangeable outfits (which I find ridiculous) so he is officially a superstar too. WOW talk about pressure to not only make the right choices and decisions but to choose the right outfit to wear. Prada hunny? Maybe Armani for the big signing of a bill? I never have cared much for name brands, but I guess it is important to some.
On a lighter note I am helping my good friend Trevor (who also works with me) with his Long boarding competition he is hosting in February and September. Because I am CPR/First Aid certified and I can point a camera and take a picture they will be able to use me in various places. I am not really into Long boarding but I find it fascinating enough that I can be a part of something that is big enough to attract people from other states. He also needs some marketing ideas which I also have experience in, so If I want to I can be a big part of this which I kind of want to do, as if I don't have enough on my plate. Whatever makes the time go by quicker, I'm tired of cold weather. So I'm off to find a notary and run other random errands.
blogging is therapeutic.
I love you! And I'm sad that you're so miserable...
ReplyDeleteThe story was the President (Elect at the time) slept in til' 9, and when they told him he had to get up to be inaugurated, he said, "Do I have to?" Haha. I think he's right for this challenge. I think he has the enormity of what lies ahead on his mind, but is still calm enough to do it with a clear head. If I didn't know any better, I'd think he smoked a big fat bowl before he appeared ANYWHERE in public. You said it, not ONLY a new president in the middle of a war. Not ONLY a new president in the middle of an economic crisis. Not ONLY the relief provided to us from what was perceived as a self serving, one-track minded dictator. Not ONLY the FIRST African-American president. But, he has the weight of fashion on his shoulders, too. I wouldn't want to be him, and I am grateful to him for being him. God bless our new president.
