the audacity to hope

on the day that my president takes office, on the very moment, with his hand on the Bible and the oath being heard by all - i will be sitting in a classroom along the offskirts of Puerto Rico, eating a peanut butter/jelly sandwich, probably breaking a sweat in the heat. hence, with no tv around, and no access to the internet from my laptop there, i will attempt to post access this very website from my iPhone and hope that this link to the live showing on Hulu will work. ah, the audacity of such hope. to think that i will be able to access qhat may be the most important link of our generation on my iPhone from the middle of an island during my lunch break. to check it out though, I'm going to also embed this link to Stewie Griffin flirting with girls at Brown University just to see if it's even remotely possible. then the only question is whether it will be able to handle the whole "live" thing. we'll see.

if not, i won't feel too bad. i did the most important thing that i could think of, and that was vote. i was watching live when Hillary "suspended" her campaign. and was watching live when he won the elections on Nov. 4. so, the bulk of things I've wanted to do in regard to this gives me solace for missing the inauguration. at least a little. and as much as i'd love to be in dc, chances are that i would get stuck, and inevitably fired for missing a month of work. i'll just have to witness it in the same mode that I have to witness the first episode of Lost this season - "later".

I pray for the safety of Obama and all of America as we try to cross this huge milestone in our history and legacy as a generation, as a nation, and as a whole. and use this as motivation to do be great someday, sacrificing that which I truly want to do for the sake of this venture in which i fell led to do. i can't let this be for not. i can't let this be in vain. i have to make this experience worth every missed birthday, every lost friend, every passes up opportunity, for the audacious hope that it will amount to more than i can possible envision at this point in my life.


oh...almost forgot the Stewie test.


have a nice day.
