Some Inspirational Words

Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther King could walk.

King walked so that Barack Obama could run.

And now, our children can fly.






Think about it. We've made some huge strides as a country. It's a great time to be an American.

I'm Ready to Ba-Rock With the Obama-rama!

He won. He fucking won. I feel like it's a dream. I really really wanted a newspaper today, but they were gone by the time I got to any. Curses. Maybe my dad got my text. Doubt it.

Anyways, I voted Tuesday morning. Skipped all my Monday classes, and my first Tuesday class to make sure I was home to vote. We left there at like, 9:15, which apparently was a great time. Before then, it was lasting forever, and after it took longer(my mom, who had been sleeping when me and my dad went, waited for like, three hours). Either way, I got to vote. I had applied for Absentee, but it came too late so I had to get out of line and made sure I could vote. I would have kicked some ass if I couldn't.

I voted straight Democrat, simply because I wasn't too sure on other people. I hadn't had time to look into it all. And I voted yes on a small tax increase on a way to preserve land. I did a whole essay on that last year, of course I want to save our environment. I like to think they got to my essay and read it and proposed it because of me. ;)

And since my computer has been down, and there is no tv in my room, I wasn't able to watch the coverage. Which really disappointed me. I've been watching presidential election coverage since I was little. I don't know about when Clinton was re-elected, but I most definitely watched with Bush vs. Gore. I really love that kind of stuff. It felt awesome to know I was a part of it this time.

My lovely Finnish Spitz gave me updates and I made my roommate keep checking online. I was just writing my story, and doing whatever and I get this text. "He clinched it!" It was a little past eleven, and I assumed Barack, who had a sizeable lead, had gotten California or such. Then all of a sudden, outside my room, I hear someone scream "Obama!" It reminded me of the World Series, which had a good five or six people running down the halls screaming, "Phillies!!!!!" That was pretty nice, since I watched in my suitemate's room.

Anyways, I started to obviously, realize Obama had won. Very surreal. I didn't believe it. I don't know if I still have let it sink in. My suitemate started hitting things(she voted for McCain) and then I was pretty sure. I went over there and was like, oh my gosh. I mean, President Elect Barack Obama. It's an amazing thing to see.

My brother called and was like, did McCain just, give up? They hadn't even mentioned the states that had just been won on whatever station he was watching. I laughed a bit and explained. Then I talked to my mom and she put the phone to the tv so I could hear McCain's concession speech. It was decent, and I admit I teared when he started talking about Barack's grandmother. Every time I hear about that, I start to get upset. I know the feeling all too well.

Then I went to my suitemate's room to watch Obama's speech. Wow. Just wow. It was so powerful, and like some of the voices on the tv said, very humble, and not showy. He was very much like, I understand that some did not vote, and I'm here to listen to you. I loved it. I got misty eyed, but wouldn't let my suitemate see me cry. Later, when I went back to my room, I did cry. I felt so happy. I mean, after so many weeks of intense fighting, it was over. It's such a relief. With the economic crisis that we're in, I mean, I truly believe Obama can help bring us out. And that has been this constant worry on me. I finally was able to smile and go, wow, maybe this all will be alright. I mean, I was so worried about it all, I wasn't even going to ask for anything for my birthday. I have a horrible issue with putting every single person in front of me. In some ways, I'm very selfless, but I'm not going to call myself completely selfless. I do love indulging in myself a lot. :)

Anyways, I got to go to sleep, smiling. Not because I got some new clothes, or my computer was fixed. It was better than that. It was this feeling knowing that life would be different. I did make a difference. I felt like I mattered. I mean, when Obama gave his speech, I felt like the only one there. I felt like we were having this conversation and he was telling me that we'd get through this. That's such a powerful thing. I would have loved to be there. I also would love to meet him. Or just be in his presence. It'd be an amazing thing to occur.


I don't know who you all voted for, but I hope that you did not regret your choice at all. I just hope you researched it and felt that was the person that spoke to your heart. I'm fully glad I voted Obama, and I think it was the best decision of my life. :)

Riding Demo

Hell. Yes.



Originally I wrote 'Riding Demi'. Whoops. Mind in the gutter.


You all better be riding Demo come November 4th. Or, well, we'll have to seriously reevaluate our relationship.

Obama/Biden(That's Enough, Sarah Palin)

I didn't feel like doing some catchy title. Because frankly, with this debate, I mean, there was no competition. All those people can say Sarah Palin did good, but in my opinion, she rambled, and never answered a real question. She kept going back to the question before. Biden was incredible. He had specific points, and dammit, each point sliced into Palin like no other. I mean, he is a great debater. He knows what to say, and how to say it. Plus, he knows his shit. Palin doesn't. She only knows what McCain told her to say. Biden has his own mind, and knows what to say. I loved that.

So Palin needs to stop with her quaint little Alaska things. We get it, you're from Alaska. No shit man. You can see Russia from your house! Ohmigod! Do you want a medal? You betcha! Darn Heck! Joe Six Pack! Hockey Moms! What are stupid quote can I put in from Palin? Everything she said was like, uh....could you be any more stupid?

And Biden. Really. Wow. I never knew much about him, and lately it's been "Hockey Mom"-Gate, as in every one has been talking about her for the last few weeks.. But I just felt like he was an incredible debater, and was able to constantly prove his points while keeping on the question at hand. I mean, he really is so strong. When he discussed about his first wife and daughter's death, I was just blown away. He really didn't shove it down your throat, and there was this little pause, where it hit me, and tears totally came up behind my eyes. He had choked up there, and I knew that he had seen these horrors, and had been to the brink, and you know what he came back? And if a man so far down a rabbit hole of despair could get up and just, become this, well, great person, I felt proud. So proud. Proud just to support them.

And sadly, I haven't seen Obama speak, but I cannot wait. I really cannot. If Biden is just the VP and can provoke such joy and pride in my choice of a candidate, what can Obama do? I'm hoping so much more.

I know I supported Hillary. And yes, I know she lost. But I'm almost glad? Because Obama really is great. And I'm glad, no, PROUD to support him. No lie. Betcha didn't think you'd be hearing that from me, huh, Finnish Spitz? ;)

Aw, How Cute. Oh Wait...

Yes, yes, this is a nice touching moment. Kevin and Joe are registering to vote.

But wait?

Yes, Kevin is almost 21. Joe is 19.

What the fuck, JoBros???

Those boys should have registered the minute they hit 18. I did that. Well, I sorta did. I filled it out at midnight of my 18th birthday(and yes, that is what I spent on the night of my 18th birthday) and went to send it out, but my mom was like, this isn't filled out, and she only told me this like, four months later, and I told her, no, you could fill this out mom! and it was a whole big argument, but whatever. The reason is I registered the minute I could.

That's what ya'll need to do.

BBs, please go out and register. It does mean something.

And if you don't? I'll choke a bitch.

Michel(l?)e Obama is Boss

First off, that is my new favorite description word. BOSS. Heck yes. I am boss. Oh, can't overuse it.

Anyways, Michele(or Michelle? Someone inform me, please) Obama is awesome. I recently just became a full Obama supporter, and I don't know, her little thing she did with Ellen in the beginning with Nick Jonas behind the door when you think they're talking about Barack was fucking funny. Like, she totally played it perfect. Look how excited she is!

And Nick looks so little....and adorable. Is that a smile??? I hope so. Don't make me pull out my photoshop, Nick, don't make me....

Anyways, I'm proud to be an Obama supporter. And Kevin and Joe are registered. I really wanna know who they'll vote for. I mean, I wanna say they're Democrat, but their upbringing worries me. They seem pretty chill; I mean, they're close with Ellen Degeneres, who is a lesbian, and that's like, a bad thing for Republicans. I simply think they could be both, but I'm really hoping they're not Republican. It'd wreck them a bit. But I mean, if that's their choice, I'll respect it. Just like if say, my husband was Republican, I suppose I would deal with it, because everything else is pretty awesome about him(Kevin...;))
