i am absolutely ecstatic :D
first time voting, and what a powerful vote it was
i dont feel like i had to chose the lesser of two evils.
sure obama isnt perfect and there are a couple of things im a bit weary of (war with pakistan?!...though i hope he just
said that to convince gun toteing americans thaht he takes action?), but thats just being human id say. hopefully im not
wrong about him
i really dont feel i will be though
i think therell be real change
and im looking forward to taking part in it
richmond was crazzzyyyy tonight. everyone was in the streets, it was great. unfortunately im not out celebrating with
champagne...our foreign friends got seperated from us :(
also, people were chanting USA in the street for a bit, and had a huge american flag...and i actually joined in and
felt proud of my country... i hope hell turn in around and make it something to be prooud of, and not how it is now where
people ask where youre from and you mumble eghh america egngjsf. in terms of our foreign policy, dont think i take it for granted here...though im sure i do.
anyway,
what a great time to be alive.
