Check out the flickr pics of Metropolis, my futuristic music retail and nightlife experience. Retail space on the bottom floor, nightclub on the top. I have NO clue how I’m going to build this.

…forcing myself out of bed on this fine Saturday morning at around 7:45am.
Filled my ipod with some new music.
Got out the door around 8:00am.
Sat in my car while it defrosted and wrote down my workout for the morning.
Listed to Violet Stars, Happy Hunting! on my way; started waking up.
I’m now wide awake and ready to work it out.
I ride up the escalator to the gym.
The gym is closed.
*?!$f*c!k!
TO VOTE OBAMA!!!
Naw, I’m just kiddin. Seriously, though, I haven’t been following the presidential race very closely until the flurry of coverage on the Iowa caucuses ensued last month. Actually, I’ve considered registering as Independent; I feel as though I’m neither Democrat nor Republican anymore. I hold mostly liberal views, but have some very conservative views as well.
Anyhow, it’s not like I follow politics religiously, but all the hype around the presidential race has had me making conscious efforts to research for myself—both Democratic and Republican candidates. I was leaning toward Obama…and then there was last night:
Obama winning the caucus of one of the whitest states in the country has me believing that we really are ready for a change. That it actually could happen in 2008. This sounds corny and I know there is still a long way to go, but I’m really hopeful, and really excited for what’s to come. It’s not about the man’s skin color, or any other hype the media may give him, it’s just that he really is about change.
From Michael Moore:
“What an amazing night, not just for Barack Obama, but for America. I know that Senator Obama is so much more than simply the color of his skin, but all of us must acknowledge — and celebrate — the fact that one of the whitest states in the U.S. just voted for a black man to be our next president. Thank you, Iowa, for this historic moment. Thank you for at least letting us believe that we are better than what we often seem to be.”
Man, it’s all over. Finally.
The holidays can be a stressful time—even if you’re not heavily vested in them (like I wasn’t) this year. There’s just so much hustle and bustle, people get crazy(ier), crime gets worse, everyone’s on edge, it’s just a mess.
Despite all that, I went home, relaxed a bit, and ate a lot. Ha! Shout out to my Auntie Karen. This woman was on a marathon, as evidenced by the Christmas menu: turkey, ham, oyster stuffing, sausage dressing, candied yams, mashed potatoes, potato salad, collard greens, corn pudding, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, lemon cake, pound cake, banana pudding, sweet p0tato pie, and uuuh, yeah, I think that’s it. It was just illegal the amount of cooking this woman did. Our family definitely shows love through food, and well, she loves us a lot.
New Year’s this year was spent with the Wondafam in a splended mansion just north of town. I’ve never really talked about my love of homes and interior design, but now is as good a time as any, because this place was A-MA-ZING. Just in the very downstairs (I don’t want to call it a basement, because it was sooo much more than that), there was a full gym, full bar, TV room, wine cellar, 1 and 1/2 baths, and I’m guessing the other 3 doors that were closed were bedrooms…Whatever these people do for a living, I think I might want to make a career change. Seriously.
Anyway, thanks to Lord Disassembler for having us out. I’ll have to do a picture blog in a bit, cuz I don’t feel like getting out of bed right now to grab the camera (lol).
Hope you all had a safe and happy New Year. How’d you ring it in?
