Rarely do speeches inspire me like this.....

Hello all! It's pretty late...but I'm up doing job related stuff and un-necessarily looking at things on the internet and I just watched Michelle Obama's speech tonight from the Democratic National Convention.


Now no mattter where you stand politically...to the left or to the right, you have to admit her speech was pretty inspiring. She had so many people in that packed Pepsi Center with tear-filled eyes. That's what politics should be, at least to me. Politics should move you. When politicians speak it should make us want to sit on the edge of our seat and hope that they only want what's better for this country, and that the laws that they are working to pass are laws that are going to make our lives richer and easier. Laws that would fund programs like the CHIP program (the Children's Health Insurance Program) which is why my heart was so broken months ago when our president vetoed the bill that would have funded the SCHIP bill. Actions like that break my heart because no matter what motive you have behind political beliefs children should NEVER fall victim to your motives or agendas. In some ways I had begun to loose faith in politics because it seemed to me like everyone has an agenda, but tonight listening to Mrs. Obama's speech I felt that maybe she really did connect to people like me, people who want to believe in the greater good in mankind!! I don't know only time will tell. But I will say this I too want to see a change we can believe in!...Ok I realize this is a pretty heavy post...so I will lighten things up a bit and shift gears....

So those who know me, know that I have a pretty eclectic music taste (to say the least) and one of my favorite songs ever is Wild Horses by the Sundays...(for my musically challenged readers LOL..it's the song they play in the movie Fear with Reese Witherspoon ) anywho its a song with really beautiful lyrics...and so imagine my excitement when I came across this cover Alicia Keys and Adam Lavigne (from Maroon 5) did together!! of the song!! it's soooo worth checking out...these are two of my favorite artists singing one of my favorite songs... I've added it for your viewing pleasure....enjoy!!! That's all... I'm out One LUV-
