It’s your turn. It’s our time.

I got my ass up at 10 minutes ’til 6am, braved the chilly Long Island uber-morning, and drove with Pop Dukes to a nearby elementary school (FunFact: Spent kindergarten and first grade there), waited in line for about 5 minutes total, clicked the top line down all the way through to make sure I voted Democrat all across the board, and then left, smiling at how easy it was.

I left feeling empowered and full of hope. Today could be the day it all changes, for the better, finally.

Do not let your cynicism, your fear, your apathy, your conspiracies, or your oh-so-coolness rob you of this feeling.

Of this moment.

Vote for Barack Obama today.

YES WE CAN.

If you missed Obama’s speech, you lost the most ever.

That was fucking incredible. Barack Obama hit those republican bastards back for everything they said about him. Dude was crazy dope phat ill, and it was amazing to see.

I’m inspired, and this is the greatest moment our generation has ever been a part of. Before tonite the only thing our generation had was 9-11, but now–almost 7 years after that tragedy–our generation of wanderers can all unite and say we were there the day it all changed.

The cynics, the nihilists, and the haters have just officially been proven to be relics of a bygone era.

Change is here.

It’s Go Time.

Fired up and Ready to go,

Welfare, Social Services, Public Assistance = Tomato, Tomato

Before you even walk wit’ me, please know that this isn’t a pity party, it’s just one guy’s (mine) experience dealing with “The System”. All of these bloggers out there talk about keeping it real and being relevent and all that shit, but while they talk the talk, I’m walking the walk. I do hope that people realize that “ether” doesn’t even make a dent when Real Life happens, soooo save the insults because honestly? You’re just wasting your time.

Michael Jackson = Awesome.

I know, I know. Jesus Juice. Little boys. Vertiligo. Lisa Marie. Blanket. Bubbles. Surgery.

Blah Blah Blah Blah.

Fact is, MJ has always made dope music, even in the post-Dangerous era when he made giant inflatable statues of himself, made a $7,000,000 video with his sister, and accepted a fake “Artist of the Millennium Award” from the folks at MTV, he still made dope ass music, and more importantly, music with a message.

I strive to break through the walls of disaffected cool, annoying posturing and posing, and the insipid, tiresome bravado that seems to fester and grow throughout the internet, especially in our little corner of the Hip-Hop Influenced Lifestyle Magazine Blog world.

Soooo, that being said, I’ve been talking to my hot friend Peggy and listening to music courtesy of some new website called “YouTube” where you can post videos and junk. I eventually made my way from Janet Jackson songs to Michael Jackson songs, and I just dug the heck outta the above track. I’m not sure what album it’s from, but it doesn’t matter–the issues MJ is singing about are still, unfortunately, just as prevalent today as they were when MiJac was in the booth doin’ his vocal thaaaang.

Anyway, watch the video, and try to enjoy it from the perspective of someone who, despite their boasting, “ether” skillzez, and omnipresence online, is just as anonymous and insignificant as those of us who actually do give a shit.
