Happy Birthday, Chris! I don't think you're officially old until your balls dip into the toilet water while you're shitting. I know you pride yourself in being a low-hanger, but you probably have a couple more years before they're floating around on your turds.
Tonight has been absolutely surreal. I've been following this election for about 2 years straight, hoping Obama would get elected, and today it happened. Today they started calling him 'President Elect Obama.' Even though I was completely certain he was going to win, I couldn't help but have a little doubt in the back of my mind. Even we wonder if America is too stupid or too corrupt to act in its own best interest. But I stood in line for nearly an hour today with a bunch of Democrats, waiting to cast that vote. It felt good (and was actually pretty fun. We took turns doing Palin impressions).
I am confident we made the right choice. I think Obama has the potential to do seriously great things for the whole world...we just gotta go with it and keep paying attention. I mean that's the most amazing thing to me- millions of Americans simultaneously pulled their heads out of their asses long enough to get organized and make something positive happen. That's a first in my lifetime. It's unrealistic to think
everyone in the US will maintain this level of interest in politics and world affairs after tonight, but you never know... Barack Hussein Obama is the 44th President of the United States.
It's a trip.
