No Scrubs (Sorry TLC, Not About You)

House returned on Monday. All was right with the world.

Very good episode I thought. The show is in a bit of a holding pattern at the moment though and that’s fine, every episode is still quite good. Just waiting for the next big revelation to come out…..perhaps it will be next week. Speaking of next week…Heroes returns with their new chapter. I am looking forward to what that has in store.

Okay obviously I was an idiot on for some reason thought that Scrubs would be on, it was not. I watched the whole inaguration ceremony though and it was quite a spectacle.

The crowd was huge! Say what you will but I LOVED the spectacle and the grandeur of it. Obama’s speech was very good I even re-watched it online later with Jen (who missed it because of work). From a historical standpoint it was magical, and the thought that the last person to put their hands on the book he was sworn in on was Abraham Lincoln gave me chills. It was truly a great moment and I hope it is something we can build off of. The cynic in me says to not get to excited but I maintain high hopes for a new mindset in this country.

I posted the text of the speech in my last entry. Below is the video courtesy of CNN.com

The Speech

My fellow citizens:

I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.

Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often, the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebearers, and true to our founding documents.

The Night Of Good Impressions

The Epic show went pretty well. We had an okay draw and sold quite a lot of DVD’s so that’s always cool. For an extremely low budget operation we aren’t in bad shape. Match wise everything was pretty good. I really enjoyed the show in general, can’t wait to dig into the video tomorrow.

Not a lot else going on at the moment. I need to kick the “eating better” thing into high gear. I’m sick of eating crappy food that in the end makes me feel crappy.

We are paying off some bills today….hoooray! Okay so I’m not so excited about spending the money on bills but what are ya gonna do…..?

Scrubs tomorrow night and then the Presidential Inauguration on Tuesday. I don’t think I’ve ever watched one before so it should definitely be an experience.

History Has Been Made. My World Has Been Changed.

Hello, Chicago.

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.

It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.

We are, and always will be, the United States of America.

Obama Wins!

Well who saw that coming?

I heard a rumor….

Are the debates really over? They are? OH THANK YOU GOD!!!!

Now let’s finish this so I don’t have to hear about polotics again until 2012 aka when the world ends……
