I am here and it is now.

Welcome to the new world. This feels more like the New Year than January 1st did. I'll make my resolutions now instead.

Teila's been getting on my case for caring so much about the American election. She claims that I'm just jumping on the band wagon and that as a Canadian I really shouldn't care that much. The thing is that I honestly believe that the ruler of America has more influece over us than the ruler of Canada. We are going to do what the President wants no matter who's Prime Minister. Maybe I'm speaking too soon, Harper and Obama do have an upcoming meeting about the environment. If Obama brings up cutting oil drilling Harper might start to cry. That'd be really funny.

In case anyone missed the inaugural speech (which was amazing) here it is on YouTube:

"Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world?"
-- Abraham Lincoln, from his inaugural address
