I don't think I'll mind getting old. There is something about having hold of years of wisdom that is appealing. Anyways, it's much better company than the average person my age. We all know I'd rather talk about Hillary's political future than L.C.'s.


I think that I have been so melancholy the past few days because I get frustrated when I can't have what I want.

I need an adventure. And even dangerous one seems much needed. Although getting hurt is not what I most enjoy, I would rather take the risk than not even try.

But that could be the rationale of thinking that constantly gets me bloodied up.

Being someone who enjoys nothing more than being shocked, waking up this morning to CNN headlines declaring John McCain's VP pick, I was ecstatic. And my friends have asked me now what my thoughts are on the situation and my struggle with support for Barack Obama.

Basically on Monday, I was not feeling inspired by the Convention. There wasn't a spark. Things seemed disconnected, and I felt it halfway across the country. Tuesday, I had thought for weeks now, would be the highlight for myself because it was the night of Hillary's speech. I had been going through tough withdrawals, because after almost two years now of being able to hear her speak daily, for the past two months she has no longer been on the forefront. Her speech was an amazingly charismatic one that I feel started to spark in me a sense that it was time to move on and really move toward the mission of the DNC. The convention only got better from there, and by last night I was in full Obama mode.

Unlike most, I think that John McCain's pick of Sarah Palin is great. First off, it freshens up the stale campaign that he has been running for months now. She is a fresh face, albeit inexperienced one, and I think that Republicans will respond well to it.

Palin though aggravated me when she assumed that she could carry on in the footsteps of Hillary Clinton.

With all due respect Mrs Palin, you are no Hillary Clinton.



last night reminded me how refreshing it is to have friends who are like you. it's nice to remember that the crazy things i think about aren't as isolated as a i think.
