A new day is here!

So today is the inaugration of Barack H. Obama. Today we see the change we so richly seek and the destiny of a lifetime fulfilled. For me, it means so much more than just the election of a Black man to the highest office in the land. Today brings the knowledgethat I can look at my 2 children, full of hope and truth and light, and tell them that there is nothing that they cannot achieve.

As the grandson of a man lynched for simply wearing the uniform of his country, a country that he risked his life for countless times - today is special. As the son of a man that, in order to continue to work for a country he loved so much, had to go to court just to achieve that priveledge, today is amazing. As a young man who has been given every opportunity to showcase his potential and sometimes failed miserably, this is a new dawn.

I stand before my friends, family and my God to tell you that today starts a new Chapter in My Life. Marc 2.0 if you will. Many things will stay the same, but over the coming year you will see many new changes. Some of you might cringe at what you see, but know that its all for the best. Some of you might decide that you don't want to "opt-in" to the new Marc...and that's OK too. We've had a good ride and all of you have helped me get this far on my journey.

Enjoy the spectacle of what we, collectively, are about to witness today. We won't see anything like this for a long time.

Marc...
