Today I woke up feeling like I was on speed. I went to bed at 3 a.m. just to wake up at 6 a.m. I got out of bed energized and turned to channel 11. Gotta get my daily dose of Jillian from Good Day L.A. Well, I didn't see Jillian this morning but I can't complain. Today was all about Obama. What a beautiful start to a beautiful day I must say. Seeing our president walk out on the red carpet to deliver his speech gave me chills! It was an amazing moment that seemed out of a movie. I hate hate hate that I couldn't be there. I know of a few blessed individuals that got to attend the inaugural, it has to be one of the most amazing moments of their lives. I bet you could feel all the energy in the air. I mean these are millions of people out to support one man. One man. I've never felt so drawn and connected to someone that I didn't know let alone a president. This is a great feeling that I don't think I'll ever get over and believe. (If I see one more person crying on the news about all of this I'm sure I'm going to cry too). I love how everyone of all backgrounds and races are coming together to share in all of this goodness. Can I just say I love Michelle Obama? Can I say I love Jill Biden? Because I do. And let me just say president Obama is boss for walking to the White House. Boss. So seeing little clips here and there of our new president (I'm going to watch the speech on my DVR later) I definately had a great start to my day. For my speech class i definately channeled my inner Barack for my improptu speech. Yeh, didn't quite work. I totally flubbed my speech, it was pretty funny. Okay, so the speech topic was: Money can't buy you happiness..or something close to that. We get a minute and thirty seconds to organize our thoughts on a little 3x5 notecard. I write all that I want to say on my card then I'm called up to the front of the class to deliver my speech and "get my Barack" on. This is the tragic part. First I want to say if I were one to get embarrassed I would have been soo embarrassed with my performance. But I don't get embarrassed cuz I got it like that. ;) I get in front of the class and start off with a big "uhhhhm", which my teachers absolutly hates. I look out into the crowed and it seems like a million little eyes were looking at me. I stand tall, stumble over my words, laugh, announce "uhm, I'm drawing a blank, then my mouth starts moving talking out of my ass some pretty ridiculous shit. I smile at the audience as this 40 something year old woman looks at me very confused. I disregard her, she means nothing.:) Then I lock eyes with someone else who's nodding his head silently rooting me on. I then began to struggle through the rest of my speech, still talking out of my ass. Okay get ready for the funniest part. Closing my speech I thought I'd leave them with a "clever" well thought out quote. Turns out my quote had nothing to do with my speech. Mind you my speech is on why money can't buy you happiness. I ended my speech with "it's a beautiful life, now go out and live it!" After that everyone begins to clap and cheer, the loudest applause from anyone that gave a speech that day I must admit. 8) It was the funniest thing ever. It reminded me of Jessica Simpon's epic fail in front of millions AND Dolly Parton, except I didn't cry or apologize. Check out the video at the bottom of my page, it's hillarious. Learn to laugh at yourself people. even after my big eff up I still got an 80%! I recovered well. :)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEGfIXh1O1w
