evidence of my vote - I have never been so exicted to vote before! random voting thoughts...

Ok I voted.  Adriene and I went at 8am and voted in a person's garage - I guess that's what voting is like in suburbia.  I've been in nyc the last 2 elections - so I actually have never voted in california really.  

I anticipate the moment when I can say tonight that I am going to cry out of happiness that america will have its first consciously mixed-race president.   (why do i say consciously? no need to go over US slave history why some whites may deny being part black and vice-versa.)  The media needs to stop saying "obama, the first black or african-american president."  He's a mixed! he has never referred to himself as only black. 

What's made me sad is that hilary clinton has been so absent in all this election business. where is her support for obama? sore losers are no phone.

oh well - I'm going to be patriotic tonight - I am going to be an american - I am going to the madonna concert in SD!  One of my advisors offered me a ticket so I could not pass up this opportunity.  Madonna is the queen of contradictions - how much more american can that be?
