Yes We Can--Yes We Did!
This morning I am a happy person! I did my part and while President-elect Obama did not carry my state---he almost did. This is an accomplishment of profound proportions. Georgia(52%-47%), Alabama(61%-39%), Mississippi(57%-43%), Louisiana(59%-40%). These are really significant numbers to me because they prove finally, that there is change coming here in the deep south and that makes me happy.
So normally I don't interject the boy into this blog because this is my deal, not his but I was just so proud of him yesterday I have to share one of the videos we shot. It's one of only two that have been uploaded so far. There will be others and yes even one with me in all my hugeness. I'll edit this post as they are uploaded but for now here is my boy...although after yesterday I think I must stop calling him "the boy" :)
Me and Mark (my mechanic, you know the one...the one that gave me the car I'm driving now and has kept me rolling all through school, awesome guy!)
I love that video and wow.. that accent is soooo fantastic! I know I'm far away from 'the moment' but it really isn't something I thought I'd see.
ReplyDeleteI am so very proud of OUR "boy" - you go young man...you make US PROUD! You are right, Mom, HE'S DA MAN...a very special young man...I love the videos..

yea! you figured out how to make a comment! now maybe people won't think i made you up :)
ReplyDeleteYup...I is real :)and one of your biggest encouragers - you are my sister-friend...I think you need to get your next degree in political science; or in communications - good interview, Lady...
ReplyDeleteP.S. thank Mark for being an angel...
ReplyDeleteit's funny you should say that, i've been thinking about the masters lately...seems i might not be perky and bubbly enough to be a social worker in this town....but i'm still tryin :) so what can you do with a masters in political science? just curious :) oh, and yes I tell mark he's my own special angel every time i see him :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Prin. You sound just like a Mississippi gal!
ReplyDeleteyep, born and raised here, can't deny it. although i have gotten a bit more southern in my old age :) thank god the boy was raised with the yankees in atlanta. he doesn't have it as much as i do. when he first got here people used to ask him all the time where he was from and look at him so funny when he said atlanta :) he can do an excellent impersonation though :)
ReplyDeletenow, now, miss lady...whats wrong with "the boy" sounding like a Mississippi gentleman...it's call having the ability to speak a "second language"...
ReplyDelete:) i wasn't saying there was anything wrong with it, just that he doesn't sound like he's from here. not like i do anyway :)
ReplyDeletethat's funny...i never notice a "different" sound...hummmmmmm :)
ReplyDeleteOh you didn't look at the camera enough! lol =)
ReplyDeletemmm, me hate cameras... :)
