(no subject)
I just wanted some place to remember this (it's what Gov. Deval Patrick said about Obama at the Boston rally)
For once, I want a campaign that’s not about the candidate, but about us.
Not about a resumé, but about character. Not about connections or convenience, but about conviction. Not about smearing the competition, but about lifting us all up. Not about the right and the left, but about right and wrong. Not about yesterday, but about tomorrow.
I don’t care whether the next president has experience in the White House. I care whether he understands life in your house.
I don’t care whether the next president has already met foreign heads of state. I care whether he knows something about how people live and think in distant cities and villages and can remember that our actions affect them, too.
I don’t care whether the next president is the first black president or the first woman president or the first whatever, to tell you the truth. I care that the next president has moral courage, a political backbone, the humility to admit what he doesn’t know, and the wisdom to learn from others.
First semester is over. That flew by. Grades were good. Friends are awesome. I like it mucho. Now I'm back for way too long, but hopefully Chicago (?) and Portland (!) will break that up nicely. Christmas is around the corner and it kind of feels like it (mostly because i was on the east coast though and already have my presents wrapped and my dad is out shopping now/still). I'm enjoying a nice routine though back at home full of production. I'm picking the guitar (back) up, gym, movies, making t-shirts, and hopefully starting my screenplay.
If you haven't seen, my movie from this semester is on facebook.
merry christmas, and other miscellaneous holiday wishes.
