I know we’ve been talking so much lately about the Obama’s, we can’t help it - we love them. I still remember being in DC for the inauguration. My body freezing cold, thinking about how long I could stand there before I was a candidate for amputation due to frostbite on my feet. The one thing that kept me going was knowing that I was a part of history, that I was witnessing something that was going to be written about in history books, a story that I could tell my grandchildren.
So to wake up this morning and get this video in my inbox, I could not have been more proud. I know it seems silly, but this type of ‘joking around’ couldn’t happen from anyone else. No other president could get up there and pull that off with such an endearing smile and “i got this” attitude. To be honest, I’ve never felt this connected to a president, never felt so proud of what he’s accomplished. He’s always himself, and that’s inspiring. Consider this my official endorsement - OBAMA 2012 :-)
Signing off.
Girlfriend : He said he'd pay for the dress I wore to the party, so I politely asked for a new cell phone tower instead and sent him my account info.
Girlfriend : Yeap, I am on one.
Me : *much later in the conversation* What the hell is a cell phone tower? Do I need one?
Internet Blackout of the Day: The Great Wikipedia Blackout of 2012 has begun.
Reddit, TwitPic, Mozilla, Mojang, and thousands of others will soon follow suit. The Internet is officially on strike! Why? Because the House and Senate are conspiring with the entertainment industry to break the Internet.
Make no mistake: SOPA has not been shelved. And a vote on PIPA is just around the corner. Luckily, hundreds of companies, charities, and notable individuals with strong moral character have joined forces to stop these dangerous Big Brother bills from moving forward.
The fight is far from over, but hopefully today’s blackout will help bring this important matter to the attention of folks who rely on the Internet for entertainment and education, but have so far remained oblivious to SOPA and PIPA and their harmful consequences.

As most of you know, I started a webseries with my best friend Danielle called JustMyTwoSense. This week, we’ve dedicated a series of episodes to talk about HAIR!! I invite you to listen in on my HairStory. I hope you will join us in sharing your own.
Today we take a look at Gigi’s HairStory.
In Gigi’s words…”Hair for me has been such a long journey. It involves more than just wanting my hair to grow long but it involves a deeper commitment to my heritage. I’m glad that today I can look at my hair and see not just curls, but I can see my ancestry. The curls represent not just my journey but the journey of those that struggled so that we could just simply…be.”
As we focus this week on our HairStories and those of a few guests we hope that you continue to take pride in your own story. Stay tuned for upcoming episodes for more HairStories and tips on embracing your tresses, whether permed, weaved, braided or natural.
