Every morning your alarm rings, you try to throw it into the trash can before realizing that you have to get up or you'll be late for work. You force those limbs to move, make the strongest possible caffeine possible just to shake off that drowsy feeling when you open the door and collect the morning paper. You take a sip out of your favourite coffee mug and read the headlines...

You spit the coffee in your mouth out at the cat who jumps and starts running around the kitchen, behaving like it's got ants in its pants(if the cat actually wore pants that is)But you don’t need the coffee any more. The headlines do what the coffee couldn’t-hits you so hard that you jump and hit the ceiling(or just “wake up”)-Obama wins presidential election.



Something of the sort happened to me this Tuesday. Now Obama’s victory didn’t come as much of a shocker to me. But perhaps subconsciously I wasn’t willing to accept that there would really be a change in the American presidency.

All humans are like that. We aren’t willing to change unless we're forced to change. We don’t want to evolve unless we're forced to evolve. We resist change because we’re too comfortable in our own skins, in what we know and what we understand. To contemplate of the existence of something beyond our grasp of comprehension would be equivalent to forcing our minds to change.

But we all change in the end no matter whether we like it or not.I should know...
That's why I'm calling this blog METAMORPHOSIS.

And what better way to start this blog than talk about Obama. So on ending note:
Obama is more than the manifestation of Martin Luther’s "dream". Obama is more than America’s president. Obama is more than just a man in office. Obama is more than just the change America needs. Obama is the change the world needs. Obama is revolution. Obama is the symbol of what "metamorphosis" means.
