Will.I.Am- “It’s a new day” video

“I woke up this morning
Feeling brand new.
The dreams that I been dreamin
Finally came true.”

Hologramed-in Will.I.Am and his real counterpart have been a pretty great asset to President-elect Barack Obama. The viral video became a real force to be reckoned with this election.

On Friday, he released his latest video–a celebration of Obama’s victory. It has the usual visits from celebrities (Fergie, Kyra Sedgwick and husband Kevin Bacon, etc.), this time dancing in celebration. But more importantly it has that same energy of optimism and possibility.

I don’t know how long the fact that Obama won will give me chills. I hope forever. It’s a great feeling.

Really?

I know the technologies of today could always have the possibility of causing some side effects tomorrow, but I find it hard to believe that the wireless signals are making people’s legs go numb.

You have to love local stories, though.

But I would have a lot harder of a time trying to do what I want to do for the rest of my life. The world really is at our fingertips…
