I have been busy working and Sara’s friend Natasha has been visiting, but I have a few ideas trying to escape so expect some updates VERY VERY SOON!

So ever since Obama won the presidental race, almost every text message I get has a racial theme to it. Here are a few.

1. ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE TO REPORT TO THE COTTON FIELDS BY 7AM TOMORROW MORNING FOR ORIENTATION.

2. It ain’t looking good! They just replaced the rose garden at the white house with a watermelon patch.

3. The national bird was just changed from the bald eagle to a fried chicken.

4. The National anthem has being changed to “Movin’ On Up”.

5. Do u know why some of the blacks didn’t vote for Obama? Because he promised them jobs.

6. The Senate is asking that all assassination attempts be held til Martin Luther King day to limit the # of
black holidays.

1 – At the end of the day
2 – Fairly unique
3 – I personally
4 – At this moment in time
5 – With all due respect
6 – Absolutely
7 – It’s a nightmare
8 – Shouldn’t of
9 – 24/7
10 – It’s not rocket science
