MICHAEL ERIC freakin' DYSON!!!

I kind of hate this picture of me but don't care because I freakin' just met MICHAEL ERIC DYSON! He gave an amazing lecture at UNCG and I must say, he blew my mind. I feel like a whole new person. Well, at least a more aware and inspired person. I have to admit. I saw Spike Lee on Weds. at Winston Salem State and was not impressed. He's a bit stuck up and not a very good speaker, honestly disappointing. I mean I love his films and respect what he has done for the black community but Dr. Dyson simply buried him. He was eloquent, articulate, truthful, and passionate. I felt like I was listening to someone who not only knew what he was talking about but honestly cared. It was a privilege and an honor to be in the same room as him and that is why I have that ridiculous grin on my face. He may have changed my life. God knows I'm ready for it.
