Oh my goodness....

So I can't help but blog a little about the election that just ended. Despite the fact that I think some people are done hearing about it, I have a little more to say.

I was watching coverage of the race on comedy central. That's how attuned the young voters were to this election. When the news came in about Obamas win I can't lie...I was elated. It seems like so many things were a factor for this years elections....race, age, gender, ect ect ect. These are not the things I saw. I saw that Obama is a intelligent man who could possibly fix some of the horrible things going on in our country right now. Some people make it seem like it is, pardon the expression but black and white. That if Obama is president, the end of the world will ensue. Well pardon me, but I happen to believe that if McCain had won, there was a good possibility that several of my friends would be drafted to Iraq shortly there-after. It may not have ended the world, but it would have made my world end if any one of my good friends fell at the hands of a president who seems to think that the war in Iraq is still helping anyone.

The amount that we have spent on the war we will never get back, but you know what it could have done to help us? It could have paid in full for the bailout we are now considering....we wouldn't have had to borrow any money from China....it could have paid for every American to get a free education...there are a large number of things that we could have done instead of spending it on a war that we didn't and don't need right now.

So...I voted for my future. How I saw it best...and I saw it with a man that has the vision to end the war, to fix the economy, to do all the things that Bush couldn't. But here is the thing...the president is still just a man. If everyone keeps looking at this as black and white, good and evil...nothing will ever be fixed. How about instead we are just Americans looking to better the world we are living in now?

And to those people who still say, "we are screwed" and that is a direct quote from someone I know. Well, that kind of depends on you...but as I see it, the numbers have it. The large and vast majority of Americans want to...need to see change. And this is the first President since John F. Kennedy that inspires enough passion to do it. I can't remember the last time people felt so proud and hopeful.

Guess What??

My sister in law had her baby last night, and she had a little baby girl. Now I have one of each! :o) Not sure what the name will be yet. They were wrestling with a few different ones when we talked. Congrats to them!

Update!

Hey everyone!!

Ok so I know I haven't really posted much on here, sorry about that. I am hoping that in the near future I will be able to do some video blogging, so check back for that. Everything is good here in Florida so far. I miss everyone terribly, but time at a Disney park helps :o) Love you all, more to come.

Head First

So here is my first blog on my new blogging sight and I suppose I should disclose why I named it such a seemingly dark name. Well, I named it "Head First Into the Abyss" because as a writer, that's what I feel like I am doing each time I start to write something. When I begin, all I can see is this dark hole and I have no idea where I am going to take it, but as time goes on I find a direction and run with it. I am not a dark person, and I didn't want people to get the wrong idea just from the title of the thing. So I thought I would explain all of it away with one swift blogging movement. Hopefully, if I can keep up this blog, I will be able to share all sorts of ideas with as many people that are curious enough.
