To all the Obama haters out there, even to all the people that just feel mild dislike, or don't care for him either way, I cannot understand you. There is some way that things work in your brain, and I simply can't conceive of it.

November 4th was a tremendous victory for America. It was a tremendous victory for 95% of the population. Yes, even the people that voted McCain. For eight years, eight years we've had a president who not only bumbled his way through office, too incompetent to realize that he was destroying most everything that made us great and too selfish to see and care that we, as a nation, were hurting.

I am tired of hearing the upper crust tell me what to do, how to feel, where to spend my money. I am tired of being treated like less of a person because I am not rich. Because I don't own a home, a car or a flat screen TV. I am tired of the top 5% holding 40% of this nations money, and contributing less than 50% in taxes (if they even pay, and don't find loopholes out of it).

Obama is not some miracle savior. I know this. He's just a man. He's a man who felt obligated to step up, even though it will be stress and strain on his body, his family and his sanity. He's a man who knew the nation was in trouble, and decided to come forward, regardless of the fact that people would try to kill him even before he got elected.

I don't understand what there isn't to like about this man. He has an economic policy that will work, one that will give most all of us a fighting chance at building the business or career that we would all love to build. He's trying to bring back the American dream, and make opportunity possible. He plans to get us out of a war that cannot be won. Not by us, or anyone. He wants to make it so we can all get an education, become better, smarter people. This way it won't only be the rich with a shot at a career. He wants to make it so if I get sick, or you get sick, or your child gets sick, then you can go to the hospital. You can get treated, and not be scared how you'll make rent if you get something checked out. He's made Europe like us again. In one day.

So, to all the Obama haters out there, or even people who say that the choice between McCain and Obama was picking the better of two evils, I don't understand you. I cannot conceive of remaining so blind to something so rare. This is a politician who gives a shit. This is a politician who has good policies, and falls back on reasonable thinking rather than fear mongering. He speaks to the people as though they can understand reasonable thinking, and for the first time in a very long time, we've proven we can.

Yes, we can step out of this debt. Yes, we can see our boys in the military come home. Yes, we can open our eyes, and give everyone equal rights. Yes, we can remind ourselves that the community, the nation is bigger than the individual. Yes, we can have a man representing us that does not feel we owe him, but rather knows that he owes us. And yes, we can realize that we all owe our nation.

We're a part of something, like never before. We can make a difference, and we're finally getting off of our asses to do it.

Obama is m-m-moe~

So, today I went to school and found out Kevin, one of the dudes in my Graphic Communications class reads One Piece. WAT. He's caught up. He was like, "Yeah, well, I read it in Chinese." And I told him, "Whatever. I read it in English. It's not like either of those are the original language it was published in." So I think that's awesome.

Also, the teacher in that class I think has a thing for me? At LEAST a, "this student does all the homework" thing for me. But he totally singled me out because I'm like, the only one who said anything during critique. I also tsked him later. So it's all good.

My English class totally sucks, though. Because my professor is the worst at giving us direction. The worst. I would like to actually... learn anything. It just feels like I'm wasting my time in there. :I

Tonight at work was fine. One of our customers asked if I lost weight. That was awesome. :D
