The days what a day! Election.
I have been sick lately and I missed co-op today. I went to have piano lessons. I am learning Mineut in G Major by Bach. It is so hard! I doubt I will know it any time soon. It’s a lot of fun playing a song I actually recognize. I have a pretty big project due Friday and I haven’t even started I’ve been sick and well the election. I am also just a procrastinator. Let me sum up the past couple of days.
Sunday: Halloween! We carved a pumpkin and he looked freaking awesome! We named him Fred. I went with Dad to go and buy some candy to pass out to them little kids. We got a lot. So the time came for the trick-or-treaters to come and Bekah and I were ready. Kenny left to trick-or-treat with his friends. Bekah and I had to different bowls of candy one: good candy for the small kids who dressed up good. And another one: with not so good candy, for the older kids, and people who didn’t dress up. They all started to come at the same time. Crazy!
Later on they started coming about once every 3 minutes. I want to say that this girl who came up to us was the cutest one ever!!!!!!!!! She came and said sooooo happily and excitedly “Trick-or-treat!” She couldn’t stop laughing and she was so excited I told Bekah to give her a lot of candy! She also said I’m Cinderella and she was so excited I don’t know how to describe it. I’d have to say that the little girl was having the time of her life. Bekah and I went in and started to watch Scooby Doo: Monsters Unleashed. It was mediocre; we had pizza and answered the Door for trick-or-treaters when they rang. At about 8:30 all that was left was older kids coming to the door without a costume. That makes me so angry! (Even though I did it last year or maybe it was two years ago?) So I told Bekah just to turn off the light and keep the candy for us. Muahahahahaha!
Monday: I wanted to use this line in my journal at about 11:00 P.M. that night, I think I made it up and it’s how I felt about the entire day:
“Today was a terrible day, and I just want to sleep it all away.”
Yeah I feel that you can sleep the day away and the next morning is a bright and new one. So on Mon. I started school early and Adrian came over and invited me to lunch. I said yes, and we went to Applebee’s (sp?) we had a nice talk. We talked mostly about Nancy (Adrian’s G/F), like we do most the time. I don’t have a problem with it, she’s important to Adrian, which means she’s important to me. Anyway, we came back home and said goodbye and I started school. Later on we went to Bally’s and I hated it. Then we went to eat at this Chinese food restaurant and I didn’t like it. So that day wasn’t that great, Bally’s made it terrible. I also was feeling sick. I just slept the day away. With anticipation to the election
Tuesday and early today can be summarized by ELECTION: I went and accompanied my Dad to the voting booth. He was assigned to Nichols elementary, we went exactly when the kids came out of school. The best part about it was watching the kids come out they’re so great! I also got to see the new touch screen voting machine, interesting.
MY little analysis of the election ( I wrote this earlier):
Bush won for re-election, I had predicted it. In the last days before the election, I seriously doubted his win. Everyone that I heard was saying that John Kerry was going to win. Bush won by an amazing majority too; much to the surprise of all the people who thought that everyone hates Bush. I watched the election coverage for 7 hours straight; I was very interested and sick too. I flipped through channels CNN, Fox, MSNBC, and CBS. Flipping through the channels was extremely fun! They all called different states for candidates at different times. When Fox and MSNBC called Ohio for bush at about 3 or so in the morning, I was just waiting for CNN and CBS to call it. They didn’t, and at about 7:30 A.M. 100% of the precincts from Ohio were in, and Bush was up about 125,000 and they still didn’t call it!
They said that all the provisional ballots weren’t counted, which is true. But it would have taken practically all of the votes to go to Kerry and he would have just barely passed or tied Bush (I’m not sure?). You can call it cautiousness for both networks I call it cautiousness for CNN. I like CNN, but CBS was just bias. It was funny watching Dan Rather for CBS he was crumbling when they figured that it was impossible for Kerry to win. I don’t mean to say its funny that Kerry lost but Dan Rather is suppose to be non-partisan, and he was so clearly for Kerry, that is very funny!
I was extremely surprised at the majority that Bush had, and I think the whole of America is surprised. Anybody surprised? Kerry gave his conceding speech earlier today. A lot of thank yous, and he was rather disappointed, it was sad watching it. He was a great sport, and the media and most everyone was/is saying that America needs to unite and Kerry and Bush need to acknowledge it, Kerry did and most everyone was proud of that. It must have been really hard to humbly say that it is over, on Kerry’s part. Edwards’s small speech at the beginning introducing Kerry was definitely not a uniting speech. He was saying that it’s not over, not anything that people were hoping for or thought he would say. Nobody really cares what he says anyway, John Kerry is the star. I also watched Bush’s victory speech; he said something about unity after thank yous and laying a small outline of what he is going to do.
Is anybody bothered by the fact that the peoples vote in Ohio counted more than the people in Texas? That Bush is going to win Texas no matter what? The Electoral College has many flaws, but who has another system better than that?
