The Gap

- We won, do ya hear me? We won!
- What do we do now?
- Huh?
- I said, what do we do now?

It's pretty darn ironic that i could draw the connection between my pitiful career and that of a president-elect. For while he stands there counting the ways of relieving economy and making a better tomorrow, i sit on my mac, doing more or less the same. I think up ways to promise people more out of a tagline they are already familiar with (and, dare i say, oblivious to). We're both fluffing and bluffing. I herd the sheep to the barn where he is pacing. Suddenly, we've got our hands full with too many of 'em clueless sheep to feed.

We have that one biggie in common: the gap between thinking and doing, planning and delivering, promoting and producing. We got real good at one thing, it would be sweet to forget the other. But son, the other's here to stay, coz the numbers don't add up, and those sheep ain't going nowhere.

I dunno, kid. I still have some faith in him. It's a lot of work but at least he's DOING something instead of pulling a Bush. His power is in inciting the imagination of us citizens to hope and take action as well. You can do it too :)
