Barack Obama's Nomination and Me- 2 kinds of History in the Making (well he's one up on me :-)

“There is only one way in which one can endure man's inhumanity to man and that is to try, in one's own life, to exemplify man's humanity to man.”- Alan Paton (1903-1988)



Well Damn! Did ya think in this lifetime that, literally, an African-American would be nominated and is on his way to making double history???? This means I can pass away in this lifetime knowing that things can get better with a monumental victory like this...First Round-LOL

So, I blogged yesterday and today and was really flowing when I went to edit my blog and lost it twice. OOOOHHHHHH that just irritated me to no end and yes I got frustrated and left to treat myself to my favorite spot in Culver City, California, Emerald Thai Restaurant.

Ordered some red curry with eggplant, broccoli and shrimp and garlic rice!!! Then I was good to go but now without stopping at Baskin Robbins to satisfy my sweet tooth with a scoop of Jamoca Almond Fudge.

My friend called me to let me know it was official about Barack's nomination and I pray I won't be so excited that I wake up with more white spots in the morning! -LOL Vitiligo doesn't just spread under stress, it can manifest from all kinds of things. That would include me being so enthusiastic and blowing my Sprint minutes out the roof talking to all ya'll, that I have a night of insomnia and that's the part that would invite the white spots to come to the party-LOL

So,I am also excited about this blog and the direction I am going to take it in! Barack and I are going to make history!! He's going to be President and I am going to be (well, that I know of) the first African/other-American Woman to be on national/international television that has Vitiligo.

I will not hide it on my hands. HOwever!!, Girlfriend, will always wear make-up on my face. It's just pretty! A woman shouldn't leave home without it or at least keep the lip gloss on, but not too much-lol :-)

See I am going to have to talk to Barack about appointing me as a member of his cabinet for Americans with Disability who are proactive and making lemonade from lemons!!

Ciao,
Mai
