"O' Glory Days"-Barack The Vote

What have we learned from this folks? That it isn't audacious to have hope. I don't know about you but watching Obama, clinch the Democratic nomination felt historical! This ain't no live broadcasting of helicopters following O.J. in a slow moving Bronco, down a California highway. Nah, bro this is something I can look back on and be PROUD of. Not just as an African-American, but simply as an American...period dot. I was moved.
True story, last night feeling famished., I headed over to lil' Africa (Fulton & Bedford Ave.) to get some Halal food to appease my stomach. Walking in, I noticed 15-20 people fixated on the ceiling attached T.V. broadcasting CNN. A guy jumped up, noticed I was curious, and said in his best American accent,
"Brada, you must stay to wash dis!"
"Huh, wash dish...what dish man?" I said.
"NO! the T.V. brada (brother) Obama is but furaway (4 away) frum (from) winning...just furaway!" Damn! I was upset I didn't bring my camera man. Just to capture the excitement in their faces. And they're not even FROM here, feel me? One even started chanting "Black Power!" It was definitely tear worthy (or it just may have been the onions on his breath) but either way, I was glassy eyed. 4 more months for 4 years people, go VOTE!

"Who Got More Juice"- Pulp Friction

In an well planned media conference over the last two days, Orange Juice made it known to all present that he will no longer be known publicly as O.J. due to the current and on-going bad press the abbreviated name has been receiving (no) thanks to the former athlete that uses the same initials. Here's a tidbit of what was stated to the press,

"First of all, let me thank you for showing up SO early in the morning to hear me out. Have a complementary bagel and something to drink on me... Anything except Orange Juice of course (laugh). Seriously though, I gave this some deep thought and decided that "Citrus Juice" or "C.J." would be a more fitting name. In hopes to distance myself from Mr. Simpson's past actions, and the confusion it has caused purely because we share the same damn initials, and just that alone." End Quote.

There were some intensely emotional moments during his speech, especially when a staff member mistakenly took a sip of him. But he was quickly re-filled, and he continued on. Here's to C.J. I'll have a glass of that!
