Today I was blessed to experience history up close and personal. We BRAVED THE COLD, standing on our feet for hours, huge crowds, barricades and world class security. To write a bunch of words would be an ego driven exercise that simply cannot fully convey the scope of the emotions I felt personally. However, I am grateful to everyone who came before for all that they did to make this day possible and to provide me with the opportunity to make all of my dreams come true.

In this post I have included a brief video of my reaction as I stood on the mall and watched Barack Obama take the oath of office. I have also included photos I took today of the festivities and my homey Amin and I witnessing history.

I can assure you that more than any other day...I POPPED TODAY YAWL!!!!!!

I arrived in Washington DC to frigid temps, but the place is so full of excitement that it's all been worth it thus far. I'm hangin out with my cousin Melvin, friend and old biz partner Deshawn and a family friend Hattie who is super cool.

I am taking photos and even shooting video. When I track down the proper cable I will be able to upload some video and keep you all abreast of what's going on in the usual multimedia way. Until then take my work for it...the excitement is in the air and I am glad to be here to witness history.

So far it's been a weekend of good food, souvenier shopping, great conversation and more. Now we've talked Hattie into cooking a great soul food meal. I'm in HEAVEN!!!!

Stay tuned.
