An “American” kind of day

I am so tired this evening… I just told Tina that I have been over-stimulated today… Just an exciting day.

Today was a very busy day at work. I was able to catch the inaugural address at lunchtime though. And afterwards I found myself once again (for the first time, really?) defending My President. I am getting a little tired of having to do that, but I am also getting a little bit more confident about doing it. At one time I would have backed down. Not anymore.

I think I’m just happy that we have voted for real change, and hopefully it will be a real, lasting kind of change. And I’m disappointed that not everyone shares that positive feeling…

It was so cool to see so many people turn out for the inauguration and the parade. Wow! Downtown D.C. is crazy on a normal day… I can’t imagine how nuts it must have been today. I followed the inauguration online at CNN.com and Facebook. It was cool to see all the (mostly) positive comments roll up the screen beside the live video. Great job CNN and Facebook! Bonus points!

It was inspiring, amazing, unforgettable, and it was a day I will never forget. I don’t think it has all really sunk in yet. Mr. President. Wild.

So now, after a long day, I’m sitting down and watching American Idol, and I’m really not into it. I feel like I watched the real reality once already today. Anything else would probably just be disappointing.
