About Me
- Name: jm
I am a brilliant creation of the universe formed from the cosmic protoplasm sailing into eternity. I have two hands, two feet, a couple of great ears, and I'm clipping through life at a moderate pace; minding my p*s and q*s, crossing my t*s, dotting every i.

Since the following LiveJournal entry is public, I thought I'd share this charming entry from a friend who often writes about her mother who has some memory loss but is still a wisecracking ol' gal. She woke up to a new world on November 5th.
Let's go!
Joe that's great! Exactly in tune. It's a wonderfully designed photo. Charming is right. Good friend.

Oh, crap. I'm crying again
:-)
And thanks once again. You've got that human interest thingy.
OOhhh..I grew up in a town like this--I worked in the diner... simpler times for sure...
I finally started crying about Obama's win this morning. It's fascinating...death and birth. I'm so incredibly proud of my American neighbours. I heard this song this morning and it moved me so deeply i thought y'all might like it too :)

Hi madeline! I grew up in a town like this too. Things change but these places still go on.
Chris, I think I've finally stopped crying, although the inauguration is bound to bring back the rivulets. It's been a long hard road, but the magical orchestration was compensation. He had to win big and sure enough, he did.
There's going to be a huge outpouring of vids. This election was a first in that regard too. I'm hoping the creative energy unleashed continues.
The first will.i.am vid, "Yes We Can" sent a tidal wave of tears, unexpected, but a good sign of things to come. Different way to communicate with a prez.
I feel sort of left out of the crying stuff because my TV wasn't working right on Election Night so I missed all the live newscasts. It's a little less "immediate" when you follow it online, in a way. And I wish I had gotten a copy of the next day's paper. Oh well...
And now I wonder if he will request that they keep the expenses and lavishness of the inauguration to a minimum in light of the economic situation he is inheriting.
Just wish he wasn't tapping Rahm Emmanuel for anything. It just fuels the whining about Chicago political insiders.
I was wondering about the inauguration too. I do know that the theme is going to be "a new birth of freedom" and it's going to tie into the 200 year anniversary of Lincoln's birthday. I think it will be high in ceremony and aspiration, and it will be interesting to see how they pull it off within the economic context. I do know one thing ... that gorgeous Malia is going to look like a million bucks no matter how much they spend.
Sun, NN, Mercury, and Neptune in Aquarius. That does suggest freedom. Mars exactly on the prez's ascendant. Off to a fast start.
You're right about the Chi Town crowd. But the whining will happen anyway. Emmanuel is a fascinating pick astrologically so I guess an article is due.:-)
One great thing is that he'll be under Obama's firm control and unable to make legislative trouble in Congress.
