Furutani, Nakano Lose in Primary Election

In an election marked by low voter turnout, both George Nakano and Warren Furutani were apparently defeated in Tuesday’s primary election.
Nakano on Wednesday afternoon had not conceded to opponent Assemblymember Jenny Oropeza in the race for the 28th State Senate pending final tallies on absentee votes and provisional votes. He was seeking to become the first Japanese American in the State Senate.
“We did all we could possibly do to win but sometimes you’re just not the right candidate,” he said to The Rafu.
Richardson beat Furutani in the Democrat primary race for 55th State Assembly seat with 54.11 percent, or 12,141 votes. Furutani had 45.89 percent or 10,297 votes.
“Someone described the past six months as me waiting to exhale,” said Furutani. “Well, now I’m exhaling.”
Hope everyone was able to vote in this past CA election for who they wanted to represent them in government, unfortunately it won't be Furutani or Nakano this time
Since I've been back, I've spent my time watching some DVD's :
King Kong:
[seeing a footprint that Kong has left] There's only one creature capable of leaving a footprint that size. The Abominable Snowman.
What about a yeti?!?!
The Syrian Bride:
Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky:
This is a song from my home in the valley of Gondoa that explains everything. It says, "Take root in the ground, live in harmony with the wind, plant your seeds in the Winter, and rejoice with the birds in the coming of Spring." No matter how many weapons you have, no matter how great your technology might be, the world cannot without love. ~Sheeta
Mr. & Mrs. Smith:
John Smith: I guess that's what happens in the end, you start thinking about the beginning
Nina's Tragedies:
Now I'm leaving you calm, with a smile, with great love.
And if you look real close,
I bet you'll see me bragging about you up there.
-- The Red Violin
Now what? What do you do when the thing you wanted most... so perfect... just comes?
I really need a hobby this summer...
Any good reading suggestions?

My Love Lyrics
Lionel Richie
I've been through so many changes in my life woman
It's a wonder I ain't lost my mind
And I ain't never said how much I need you sugar
But I sho' need you by my side
My love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind
My love, just thinking about you baby
Just blows my mind all the time
Life with me I know for sure it ain't been easy
But you stayed with me anyway
And even though you ain't gonna lose too much by leaving
I'm so glad you stayed
You've been my friend and you've been my lover, oh Lord
Honey you're everything I need
You've made my love so strong now I know where I belong
Oh girl you'll never have to worry
Oh baby any more, any more
