I don’t remember when it was I announced that I supported Obama in the Presidential election. Not that it got nay news coverage but watching the arguments between Mick and Dino caused me to keep my distance. To be honest, I didn’t think America had it in them. To elect the first (half) black president. I thought McCain would be making the inaugural address today. But thanks to a brilliant campaign and a VP candidate from Alaska, Barack and Joe did it.

I wondered a few days after the election if Bush could leave office then and just get paid for the last few months he had left. It seemed like it would be forever until this day would be here.

But now, January 20th is upon us.

I’ve said before this was the first presidential election/candidate I cared about in my soon to be 26 years. I hope I do get this excited about someone again.  I know I will about Obama in 2012, but I want to feel like I do now in my lifetime again. I don’t want this to be my sole memorable presidential moment.

I’m super excited. And I know, this isn’t gonna change everything overnight. I never expected it to. I just wanted America to go in a different direction. I hope Barack is just the first piece in that new direction I hope for.

Here’s to you Barack. I’ll have a cold one (or two) in your honor later.

Yes we did.

Now Mick will yell at me. lol. I don’t mind.

Actually, it's CNN's but it sums it up.

President(-elect) Barack Obama. I like that. I'm excited about that.

Don't let us down Barack. And by us I mean everyone. No pressure.

I was with Monstalung when they called it. We both sat and stared at the TV speechless for about 10 minutes. Wow.

Apparently, CNN doesn't want the embed link to work. http://tinyurl.com/5fbbvq

UPDATE: Obama won 6 counties in WV, including mine. That's a pretty awesome feeling.

I actually got some sleep last night. Went to bed at 12:30, up at 8:00. It was nice.

Hot as eff again today. I'm so ready for it to cool off. I definitely won't say I'm a cold weather person yet tho.

The Yankees are currently ahead of the Rays 6-3 in the 6th. This will bring the Red Sox closer getting near the AL East lead. I just hope the Yankees don't get hot. And the Twins should keep sucking too.

I watched the second hour of the new 90210 last night. Not too bad. I think it will find its footing after a couple episodes.

Palin is giving her speech tonight at the RNC. I might watch. I should watch. Depends where I am.

I really don't have much else to say. I'm kinda blown. See previous post.

I'm really just posting this for the sheer hilarity of it. And who still says bugging? lol.
