Imagine, a new President comes into power. Cool. One question which isn't important in the scheme of things.
Films will come out depicting a hostage situation, perhaps it's like a Harrison Ford movie, Escape from (insert city name here) or maybe it's aliens attacking the planet, or it's an episode of West Wing. When the President appears as white as mashed potatoes, what's that say about the movie?...

Films will come out depicting a hostage situation, perhaps it’s like a Harrison Ford movie, Escape from (insert city name here) or maybe it’s aliens attacking the planet, or it’s an episode of West Wing. When the President appears as white as mashed potatoes, what’s that say about the movie? Is it totally out of date? Is it a chuckle, as in “what the… didn’t they get the memo?” Are films going to depict a President of Color more often? Will production go so far as a dark skinned President? A Native? An Asian? A woman? How will Hollywood compensate? I brought this up to some Hollywood folks. They didn’t seem too interested.

I like this painting in progress. It's mine. Here's a few images from the Choe house in NYC. Works in progress are pretty cool. They're almost done. I hope those aren't images he's using at bottom. If they are, the final product looks nothing like it. It makes no sense. Maybe he reads while he paints.

Wow! What an amazing day yesterday was! I am so excited and happy to see the collective energy present at the swearing in of our 44th president. Truly a historic day in American history and one that will not be forgotten for generations to come. I am proud of what we have done as Americans. They say there were upwards of 1.5 million people there to witness history in the making. I really wish I could have been there to absorb all the good vibes. Although Obama’s speech was somber, I think his message to all of America was extremely clear. We need to get off our asses and do our bit to make America a respectable nation once again. The illusion of prosperity of the past 8 years has really screwed things up for not only the country but for the world and it’s our responsibility as a world leader to tighten up our belts and pitch in to help fix what was damaged and at the same time take us into a new era. I am excited!
