I got a nice present.

I know Obama is not Jesus and that he can’t part the Red Sea.

I think I just mixed up my Biblical references.

Anyway.

I know Obama isn’t any biblical figure. I know that if he comes into office, I will disagree with him on some issues…

I am still proud to call him my candidate.

This is the first time however I have felt really passionate about who I am voting for. . . I thought I did in 1992, but my 22 year old self had no idea. She had no idea how the world would be so terribly different 16 years later. Reminds me of a Jon Stewart joke. . . Refering to George H.W. Bush he said, “Remember when we hated this guy?” Ahh, yes. Those were the days.

There’s something else I will be watching today… Prop 8 in California which is seeking to block same sex marriage. I hope it fails.

I know not all of you that read my raging against the light of day are on the same page as I am and that’s cool.

I’m going to be staying up all night tonight watching the returns. I’m not the praying sort but there will be a lot of nail biting. My joke status on twitter and Facebook right now is, “Nicole is trying to think positive but preparing herself for a broken heart. Sort of like the time she dated a drummer… but you know- different…”

I really will be a slight mess if my heart gets broken again, and it will be so much worse than four years ago. . .

Bush twice and George W. Bush once.

Got me all teary actually. Thanks Ewan for forwarding it.

Remember the old Wassup commercial? No? Ok. This is one of them.

Why am I posting it? Because the original actors are back with a twist on it.
