Assertion... Getting Back into the Swing of Regular Posting

I haven't been posting... but I'm gonna try to get back into the swing of it this week a bit! Working retail this time of year eats up a lot of time and energy, but let's see what I can do for the month of December!

So for today just to get a post up, I'm throwing out a quick song I've had stuck in my head by the Vancouver band, 16mm. This is from their TBA release date self-titled EP.

"S.O.S."



Enjoy!

Appreciation... Snow Patrol "If There's a Rocket Tie Me to It"

I think this is a beautiful song. It's hard to not to be with that someone you love. Sometimes it's just the fragments left behind, the moments that you shared and store up in your head as all you have to hang onto to.



"A fire, a fire
you can only take what you can carry.
A pulse, your pulse
it's the only thing I can remember..."

Dedication... Bright Eyes "The First Day of My Life"

Back to blogging with a song for someone very dear to me...

Realisation... A Union Can Be Perfected!

To say I am happy tonight, to say I am satisfied tonight would be an understatement... I knew this moment could be achieved and this day has been won! But it's only the beginning... I am so anxious to see what's next... and I think I would somehow like to be some part of the call to service that we will see in our country. The is the most triumphant moment of history I have witnessed in my lifetime! I am proud to be an American. I am proud to call Barrack Obama my president.

Realisation.... We Still Have A Lot Of Work To Do!

This is it people! Let's bring about some change! I'm going to be up in 4 and a half hours, and I'm going to vote, and if I can do anything else to help tomorrow in my time before or after work, I would like to do that too!

Anticipation... Election Day November 4th, 2008!

It's almost upon us! Finally! I am excited! Not because I am tired of all the campaigning stuff, the commercials, the signs everywhere but because I am very thrilled to cast my ballot tomorrow. I hope my vote joins enough other votes to effectively end the reign of an administration that has held this nation in a stranglehold of ignorance and fear for the last eight years and replace it with an opportunity for hope and real change.

I feel this is my little corner of the internet, so yes... I can proudly say I am voting for Obama/Biden tomorrow! I don't care how anyone else votes, that's an individual choice each of us makes, I'm simply stating my preference. I haven't gotten too political on this blog, but I think there's a place for it now. I had the opportunity to volunteer a bit during this campaign and I think the thing that frustrated me the most during my time phone banking was talking to voters who simply feel there vote doesn't even matter. No matter how you vote, no one should feel they have no interest in this process.

This is the moment! I am very excited to have witnessed a man such as Barrack Obama politically take shape in my lifetime. Tomorrow I choose hope!
