phew!

thank you, america, for restoring my faith in my country and my people. really, during this entire campaign, i felt so terrified and cynical, shell-shocked from the previous two elections. america, i thought you were stupid or blind to your own self-interest for electing (kindof) george w. bush.

in the past couple of days, despite my dour election outlook, i started to feel elated by the possibility that obama could win. and i knew that if he didn't, i would again be crushed, but all the harder.

halle-frickin'-lujah. that's all i have to say.

oh, and i know it's kind of late, but i only just saw this last night. must share. take 4 minutes to watch both.
