My new anthem--the Macarena for us SATC girls.

It's weird when you realize that something is an anthem for a whole demographic category of people (the Sex and the City demographic, of course) even before you know half the words. But, I know that I wanna learn to sing this song at karaoke and dance this dance with my fellow GenSATCers at a gay club. C'mon, boys! Also, well-played to this dance's choreographer for bringing back some classic jazz dance moves... can you feel my childhood??



Uh huh! Work it, boy! Check out his appearance on The Bonnie Hunt Show- even better!

Thanks to Emi for sending me this link on my birthday. I gotta go get my gay on at the clubs soon!!

SNL has already spoofed this, so you know it's for real and forever! JT- just another boy wanting to express his inner Single Lady.


And one more for the road (this boy rocks it out in his room with his own choreography, sort of):

Paging Captain Hook... Paging Captain Hook, please.

Here's a headline I never thought I'd see without a DeLorean ride first:

"World Grapples with Pirate Problem."

Alrighty then.

He might be VP Biden to us, but I think the girls have found themselves a Grandpa Joe.

Her life is completely changed forever, but Dad will always be Dad.

Yay! They're in it together!

Reflections on the election of Barack Obama (November 5, 2008 - Tokyo)

How do I describe the day I witnessed the dawn of a new America? Is there any way to put down in words an accurate and true, earnest record of what I saw and experienced today? This day--and how I felt when the 2008 US Presidential election was called for Barack Obama--was almost too good, too overwhelming with joy that the system has been redeemed and faith in the process and power of the American voter's voice restored, that it's hard not to think that this hasn't all been just some remarkably vivid dream. But then, there was that speech, that speech that was so perfect in its realism. That speech in which he reminded us that though we have accomplished so much to get us this far, the real work is only just beginning. That speech that called us out for service to one another, sacrifice for one another, and a reminder that we are all each other's keeper.

Yes, we should be proud of how far we have come and all we had to do to get here; yes, we deserve a chance to revel and celebrate our success. But, lest we find ourselves forgetting what we all really got into this fight for, Barack reminded us that this day--this amazing day--is really just a chance at change, not change itself. True, real, lasting, effective, life-altering, life-bettering change will only come once we commit to following through on the incredible journey that we've only just started on in these 21 months.

This is not the end of an era, but rather the beginning of one; an opportunity for us all--not just Americans, but all world citizens--to look inward and believe in our own abilities to effect progress as much as we believe in his. Like he said, this race was won not on the strength of the party or the Washington political machine, but by the minutes, seconds, dimes, and dollars donated by millions and millions of people around the world who believe in the movement Obama represents, not just in the man we see on television.

Yes, today was just the beginning, just the start of more hard work and dedication to the cause of each other... and I, for one, have never been more ready to get to work. After all, nothing could be easier than to believe and have faith in the good in all of us. Today, and all that it represents, made that belief possible.

More thanks than I can express go out to each person who cast his or her vote for Barack Obama and for having faith in the America and the people that we can and will become. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

First polls closed in small city in New Hampshire

And Obama won by a landslide!! Okay, so it was 15-6 in Obama's favor in the teeny village in NH that opened its polls at midnight. But still, at least we got a landslide (any landslide) under our belts.

Yay!

Dixville Notch has spoken: It's Obama in a landslide

DIXVILLE NOTCH, New Hampshire (CNN) -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama emerged victorious in the first election returns of the 2008 presidential race, winning 15 of 21 votes cast in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire.

People in the village in New Hampshire's northeast corner voted just after midnight Tuesday.

It was the first time since 1968 that the village leaned Democratic in an election.

Obama's rival, Republican John McCain, won 6 votes.

A full 100 percent of registered voters in the village cast ballots. And the votes didn't take long to tally.

The town, home to around 75 residents, has opened its polls shortly after midnight each Election Day since 1960, drawing national media attention for being the first place in the country to make its presidential preferences known.

However, since 1996, another small New Hampshire town -- Hart's Location -- reinstated its practice from the 1940s and also began opening its polls at midnight.

The result in Dixville Notch is hardly a reliable bellwether for the eventual winner of the White House -- or even the result statewide.

While New Hampshire is a perennial swing state, with 4 Electoral College votes at stake, Dixville Notch consistently leans Republican. The last Democrat it picked was Hubert Humphrey over Richard Nixon in 1968.

President Bush won the town in a landslide in the past two elections: He captured 73 percent of the vote in 2004 (19 residents picked Bush while six preferred Sen. John Kerry), and secured 80 percent of the vote in 2000 (21 votes for Bush, five votes for Al Gore.) VideoWatch the results being posted in Dixville Notch »

But villagers expected the results to be close this year given Democrats now outnumber Republicans there.

The town picked both John McCain and Barack Obama for the New Hampshire Democratic and Republican primaries in January. McCain ultimately won the state of New Hampshire, while Sen. Hillary Clinton upset Obama there.

Happy New Year's Eve, World.

I really feel like we're on the eve of a not just a new year, but a new chapter, a new beginning, a renewal--a very, very, very good future. I know that a lot of votes still need to be cast and counted and I'm not gonna get ahead of myself. If anything, I realize that there is still a lot of work to be done (that means VOTE, people) in the next 48 hours, but no matter what happens after tomorrow, I hope that everyone sees this as the opportunity, the call, for a better community, a better country, a better world. No matter who wins, all sides are calling for change and whoever is up to bat next needs to heed that call, make it happen, make it work.

I voted. Period. Did you?

Make a difference. Change the world. With your one vote. Be heard. It really does count. It really is important.


A great song and video from MC Yogi with a straightforward message... VOTE OBAMA.
