Facebook!?!

Is facebook the wave of the future. I could not help but wonder when I was reading an article in the New York Times, and hit the option key to share with my friends. What do I find under the share links, nothing other then facebook. Share with your friends on facebook, isn't it enough that we share everything with people on facebook, now we are even sharing what we read in the newspaper. I could not help but wonder is facebook the wave of our future when it comes to communication..for generations to come? For starters if it was not for facebook, I would not even know how anyone was doing. I get updates every second of everyone's life, including my own. Its amazing how this one little websites allows us all to stay in touch, no longer do we to pick up a phone to say hello. We can even post notes for our friends, to tell them 25 little things about me...that i never told you, but now will share with the world...I find the concept fascinating but at the same time a little scary. Is facebook going to be the way we all hear about one another, will all our communication be done through the world wide web? My guess is probably....but I guess only time will tell....trends do come and go, but from where I sit this one seems like it has some lasting power. So to all you facebook fanatics out there...Jennifer is writing on her blog about facebook...Go Figure!

Inauguration of the 44th President of the United States

On January 20th 2009 the United States of America will be making history by swearing in the first Black President of the United States. This is a very historical moment for all especailly minorities since the United States has been a country filled with racism. Millions of American will be flocking to the States Capitol to watch President Elect Obama take his oath as the 44th President of America. And for years to come we will all be retelling the story of where we were on the day that Mr. Obama took office.
I for one will be in Lonon, United Kingdom, and with a host of fellow Americans will be watching from an Inaugural Ball being held in his honor. We will all be telling our tales of how history was made on the Run for the White House....Not just was the first black President elected, but it was also the first time a Woman made it close to becoming our President, now that woman that will be representing us with all U.S. foreign policy. This election is not just about who won, but it was an election for everyone to believe that they have a voice, and that their voice is heard, and that dreams do come true, all you have to do is believe.
I for one now am a believer. I believe that with hard work that I can make anything happen, and I also believe that I have a right to vote, and that no matter where in the world I am I can exercise that right, and by doing so I helped to play a part in American history from afar.
So on Inauguration night, I along with my friends who exercised our right, and believed will be watching a magnificent man take the oath as the 44th President of the United States, and for the rest of our lives we will be talking about this event that we all played a major role in creating.
Hope you all enjoy this wonderful day, because reguardless of who you voted for, this is a moment to be remembered and that will go down in history as a magnificent event.

2009...the year I have been waiting for!

Hello everyone, and Happy New Year! I am so sorry that I have not written in so long. It has been really crazy. For starters my baby brother just got married on December 20th 2008. It was a beautiful cereamony held in Orlando, Florida. I spent a very relaxing 4 weeks surrounded by family and friends.
But now I am back in Londontown, to start off 2009 for the year I have labeled as mine...why is it mine is because for the first time I am very optimistic I am finally in a place in my life where I feel very happy, and very positive, and with the help of the almighty I have a feeling that 2009 will be filled with my new adventures, and wonderful life changes that I am ready to embrace.
This evening the London Crew and I had our little reunion. We visited the local pub Norfolk Pub, and caught up on our christmas break adventures. At the pub my friend Monica introduced me to mulled wine, the name to me sounded really disgusting, however one taste and I was hooked, it was an alcoholic version of apple cider, warm yummy wine in the freezing temps is just what the doctor ordered!
Tomorrow Monica and I are taking the leap to try out speed dating again something that I thought I would never do, its not my thing, however, it is quite the craze here in London so we figured why not, what a better way to spend your Saturday evening then with a good friend, and hopefully some cute boys....no expectations on this end, but I am excited to see what this is all about, who said I can't have a fun Saturday night.
I will keep you all posted on how that turns out, but for now I am over and out....sending all of my love JT
