Today my TV tuner arrived in the mail! By a happy coincidence, the first thing which graced my glorious 24 inch screen was the winning speech by future US president Barack Obama!
Having studied Speeches for my English HSC, it was inspiring to sit there and watch in awe as he delivered his uplifting address to the nation. The camera would occasionally snap to a totally supportive crowd, teary-eyed and revelling in every word he said, cheering him on all the way! His speech even moved me to the brink of tears - his dictation was truly masterful. To have sit through and watched it makes you feel like you've just witnessed history in the making, like the world will be different tomorrow - just that feel of grandeur!
He is the next Martin Luther King Jr.! In fact right now I'm watching a montage of MLK and Obama snippets during their famous speeches. One African-American woman made an interesting comment - "
Martin Luther King had a dream. Barack Obama is living the dream!" I hope his leadership, despite his lack of experience in politics, will help out the US and get the world economy back into shape! O-BA-MA!
btw - the HD channels on this lil baby are RIPPER!! It even makes Neighbours and Home and Away worth watching! Just for the level of details...hahaha.
Sigh...I'm screwed for physics tomorrow...><
