Watching crazy footage of the loop (downtown) Chicago, maybe I should go outside to see if I can hear the yes we can's from here... crazy totally crazy. To think that I'd vote democrat after years of supporting republicans its bizarre, my moderate libertarian background has made me bitter towards 8 years of fiscal irresponsibility, with shades of fundamentalist religious madness, and big conservative government all in the name of an ideology that has degraded, humiliated and bankrupted our country...
Thank god for a change! While I'm not 100% behind him, I hope Obama does a lot to repair the bullshit we have finally left behind!
Finally, I'm curious how my moderately pro-McCain parents will respond, I'm sure they won't be happy, but I'm cautiously optimistic.
Hey at least I'll sometime in the future be able to use trains as a viable option to going back home... I'm really looking forward to it.
And Chicago, well Chicago is going to get a boat load of awesome stuff, it will be a great time for the city.
I wish I wasn't so tired from last weekend (which was awesome btw!), I'd be staying up much later...
