well, 53% of us.

i can't say i wasn't emotional election day. i couldn't stop dancing. part of me is sad that i couldn't be out in the street somewhere where a crowd was gathering, but i don't really like big ass crowds anyway. as time goes on i will prolly look back and wish i had a cool story to tell about november 4, 2008.

kissing god goodbye
for most of the past week, i've wanted to blame the church for the passing of prop 8. i've already noted that my own church had played a relatively active, though horribly awkward and horribly STUPID, role in the yes on 8 push. while local media outlets seem to want to blame black people for prop 8's passing (how original, let's just blame black people), i've been almost sure that the coordinated surge from churches led to prop 8's passing.

i've come to the conclusion that i won't discuss politics at home unless i absolutely have to, meaning unless my parents make me. my parents know pretty much where i stand, and i kinna know where they stand, though niether party actually knows why each stands there. (i'm pretty sure my parents attribute my liberal views to the simple fact that i went to berkeley, not to the fact that berkeley could've taught me to think for myself) and really, my parents are happy with me being who i am and having my own opinions. so what kind of son would i be if i wasn't happy that my parents have their own opinion as well?

ok that last paragraph infers that both of my parents are conservative (catholics, i'll just put that since i'm pretty sure that's where it comes from) and therefore republicans. but i've come to believe that just my mom voted for mccain. i'm almost certain that my dad secretly voted for obama. though i can't prove it because i won't ask him because of the first sentence in the previous paragraph.
