Obama...A Mental Shift


stoked on the obama victory...prevailing thoughts...the fact that a black man is president shows that there is def a mental shift in this country, which could mean people may be stepping out of their comfort zone and be willing to start making changes in their own lives, their immediate community, and larger, etc.....
also, the fact that younger folks and blacks came out in larger numbers is promising.

"change" starts with us, as individuals. change for the individual american MAY be to step out of the unreality of tv/internet driven fantasy and start spending time with PEOPLE. change MAY be letting go of that entitlement of the "american dream" (which at this point is a time-consuming nightmare)... these impending financial challenges will be a good thing for us, may wake us out of our bullshit and have us focus on what is real (work a bit, help others, have fun, save a bit, take care of ourselves). if our whole financial system was essentially an INFLATED bunch of bs, then MAYBE we werent supposed to live the way we have been? maybe living like we have was unbalanced? maybe we dont know what is good for us? im stoked for the next 5-10 yrs in this country, a place with super creative, intelligent people who will be awakening...
