Bi-Partisanship never looked so good...

Wow... It's been a whole month. A MONTH since the last time I posted. I can't really explain this. Maybe you'll feel me when I say, "Things only get easier to put off the longer you put them off." I'm not sure why I put quotes around that. But the point is that I felt the need to write some kind of HEY I'M BACK kind of post. Well this ain't it.

To be honest the thing that really inspired me to sit down at the old 'lappy' (as one of my good friends loves to call it) is last night's election results. Allow me a moment of complete transparency and I'll let you in on a secret. I didn't vote for OBAMA... shhhhhhh It's true I didn't. But to tell you the truth, I'm too much of a social studies dude to not think the whole Hope revolution is cool. Just look at how many folks are interested in politics that weren't before. And most likely this intrest will turn into action. Now a whole new generation of people, who not only know that they can participate but also WANT to participate, are stepping forward. And don't take this to mean black people... Ofcourse that is a definite component. But on top of that you've also got Hispanics turning out in record numbers to vote, young voters turning out at an extremely high level and millions coming out to see the acceptance speech after the dust settles. This is big folks. Whether you supported Obama or not, so what? He's the president now so you might as well pray that he does a good job and join the party. Why? Because not at anytime in recent history was bi partisanship and politics in general so sexy. I love it personally and I hope you do to.

To catch you up on some stuff thats been going on with me personally...

I won a pie eating contest at my school's recent fund raising carnival... the key is to take in plenty of water, makes the pie go down smoooooth...

I also shot a deer on opening day that looks like a decent sized dog but is full grown I promise....

And of course I have to give you a little of everyones' fave:

Overheard at WoRMS:
kid: Do you think Obama is going to die?

me: yup

kid: Just because he's black? man that is messed up.

me: hmm yeah that and he's a person, dyin's what we do best.

kid: No I mean like assasination. Do you think he has a better chance of getting assasinated or dying of natural causes?

me: natural

kid: but he's a black president! you don't think he'll get assasinated?!

me: we're done here

I see a girl sharpening someone's pencil while holding the pencil sharpener in her mouth.
me: Umm... Why are you sharpening pencils like that?
girl: Like what?
me: *hufffff* Why do you have the pencil sharpener in your mouth?
girl: because it just fits
me: *heeeeehhhh* just sharpen pencils normally please
girl: I don't want to
me: why not?
girl: because the sharpener has spit all over it.
me: woof...
(I have pictures of this one but I can't put them on for confidentiality sake... it's truly unreal)


Sorry again for the long hiatus. Hopefully if the country can turn over a new leaf so can I.... now where did I put those papers I was supposed to grade two weeks ago?
