Simple Complicated Odyssey's

First off... I'm not against Barack Obama... dude is cool. But for some reason I'm pissed about all this Obama banter and shout outs. Why? I don't know...

Maybe it's because I've never been a politician head, or even remotely interested until it was my turn to drop my vote in the ballot. I've always kept up just enough to know who I wasn't going to vote for.

Maybe it's because all these people who are die hard politicians are just becoming die hard politicians. "Where were they 4 years ago when Kerry needed help?" Black people want to become die hard and gung ho now that a black man is running. He still a nigga in white people's eyes, whether he like, you like it, or not.

Maybe it's because all the new ghetto politicians are trying to be up on it (which is a good thing, no doubt), but niggas get on other niggas like you sinning if you ain't watching the Democratic Convention. Like your soul is going to hell. Like you got the plague or something. Like you just committed adultery or committed murder. The Democratic Convention is not that damn important.

The polls don't open until November. It's August. Right now all he is doing is accepting the nomination. A speech is a speech to me. I'm sure his speech was good. Hillary's speech was a speech, just like Michelle's speech was just a speech, just like Biden's speech was just a speech.

Maybe it's me still believing that all politicians are the best hustlers on the planet. They sell the dreams of lower gas prices, better health care for everyone, better educations, etc... but I still feel like it's all a hoax. I'd sell all kind of stuff to the masses too if they were going to buy it. I'm not saying that Obama is or is not going to change all these things in America, but it's going to take more than 2 terms and a couple of speeches to fix this fucked up place. Get us on track... ok... I can see that, and I don't doubt that, but I just don't buy the speeches. I'm a show me kind of guy. Of course I didn't see Obama's speech, and that's because College Football kicked off last night. I saw a minute or two in between commercials, but College Football and beer was way more entertaining.

So on that note... Until November when it's time to drop my vote into the ballot, it's Football Season baby! Go Blue, and How Bout Them Cowboys!
