The Speech

Hey readers! Man, crazy night, huh?

So basically, I just watched our new President-elect make an acceptance speech. During this speech, I started to seriously think about what's going on here. (Seriously.  What's going on here, right??)

I began to tear up when I thought about this country and where it could go. For the first time in a long damn time, I feel proud of our nation and what could happen from here on out. Sounds cheesy, sure, send me hate mail about it and make fun of me.  I don't give a cup of whale dick. I teared up at that speech. It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.  It was amazing to me.

You guys know me; you know I don't bullshit around on the Tirade.  Well.  Okay so actually I do bullshit around on the Tirade, but I really needed to speak out on this one. I mean, c'mon, this day is written in history. What I just saw not 15 minutes ago will be recorded, talked about and remembered for the rest of our lives.  Sort of like the first time I had sex, only instead of affecting my crotch & confidence, it affects every single one of us.  

Thank you, God, that we have a new 44th president. Thank you for the privilege of living in this country in these times. And thank you so much for giving this country the power to break down boundaries and FINALLY elect a black man as our president.  I can't believe how proud I am right now. Right now, for the first time in a long damn time, I love this nation again.  I can't wait to see what happens next.

Can Barack Obama and The Tirade change the nation by playing basketball on election days, writing about endless Friday the 13th movies, appearing on the Ellen show dancing... and writing gigantic run-on sentences? 

Yes we can.
