I'm always so frustrated with people who don’t have a real solution to problems. Like my friends who are against Clinton, for instance. They say neither Hillary nor Trump, but if you were to press them for a solution for not voting for either of them, I doubt they would know what to do. Eight years ago, I was hopeful and optimistic about Obama’s historic win. Tonight, before even knowing who the elected president is, I can’t muster any optimism. It’s terrifying and heartbreaking and I’m so nervous that regardless of who wins, there will be a shit storm like no other shit storm. The way people have behaved this electoral season has been shameful and upsetting and it’s made me legitimately fearful for my sister’s safety. The xenophobic fires that Donald Trump stoked will have a lasting effect on that country and if that doesn’t upset you, it obviously doesn’t affect you personally. I'm praying that Hillary wins tonight. I need her to win.

How HOT will tonight be for this lovely couple?? eeeeeeeeeeee.  I can't help but feel a little sorry for Dubbya. His legacy will be forever debated...  He will be remembered by a crashing economy. He will be remembered for a war. And to be followed by Barack Obama. Yeah. It must be hard being George W. Bush today.

I read this book in grade twelve--one of the awesome book suggestions that Mr. Dvorak gave us (also on the list: Albert Camus' The Stranger )--and it's amazing how different things are today. "Colored" bathrooms... "Colored" water fountains... "Colored" restaurants. It leaves me awe-struck to know that ignorance caused so many people pain. Thank God things are different today. Thank God there is more racial understanding and that ignorance is not always heeded.  Life is not perfect, racial segregation is not completely obsolete, but things are changed.   Tomorrow will be amazing. The beginning of Barack Obama 's Presidency. How far we have come.
