HOT DAMN.
For once, the election interfered with my sleep in a GOOD way.
I admit it: I had a hard time staying awake through all the returns. So when I woke up and my friends told me that AP was calling Florida for Obama, and Virginia, and and and THE ELECTION? Well, I thought I might be dreaming. I rubbed my eyes a lot. John McCain's concession speech made me wonder if he had been body-unsnatched, as he sounded like the guy who I thought would be an OK president when he won the nomination, back before he chose Sarah Palin, and "suspended" his campaign and on and on.
When I was setting my alarm for the morning, I turned on the radio just in time to hear Barack Obama's acceptance speech--and cried. Can you believe this?
What a day this is. Everything looks different this morning.
Time for a new mix, and this one is about victory. Hot damn. But with a caveat: Track #18 hopes that voters in California, Arkansas, Florida, and Arizona won't always be haters.
I feel like taking all my clothes off, dancing to the Rite of Spring, and I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing. . . .

Any chance a green person might obtain a copy of this mix?
You were spot on about the McCain comment before he chose Sarah. That is why i was willing to vote for him earlier. Boy, did he fall down.
I spent most of Wed. with a sinus problem and continued tears--couldn't believe we have arrived where we need to be.
What a tough row the new pres.elec. has.
