it feels SO good to be BACK....
now playing: dave loggins, "please come to boston"
well....this is it.
went to the polls on the way to work this morning...decided as i was pulling away from the curb in front of my house that i'd drive by and see how the queue looked - apparently i was visited by wisdom from outside my own realm. there were a total of seven people in the line when i got there. five minutes, done.
to say that i expected a little more fanfare would be a given, even in the smallish borough where i live. i was accosted by one nice old republican gentleman, who was far too pleasant to subject to what i might've said under other circumstances...but, ya know - screw it. today is zero hour. the time for clenching our fists is either over or just upon us, but i wasn't ready to start any shit first thing this morning.
today's quote in my daily new york times email was pretty apropos for this day:
"All I hear from Washington is that trade is a win-win proposition. Then I look at our growing trade deficit and think about the 3,400 good people in our good factories that we had to let go and I want someone to show me where we have won."
JOHN A. EMRICH, chief executive of Guilford Mills in Greensboro, N.C.
as i breeze around the blogs, i have to say that i feel pretty good about where we stand right now. i mean, florida is already pulling their shit today, but there are some results starting to roll in from the early voting in florida and iowa, and the results have been pretty encouraging.
however, the thugs are out en masse, and will be a force to be reckoned with...
i feel good about this election...it's a calm resolve, really - not the kind of adrenalin rush that you get before walking onstage for an important gig, but more of a reflective optimism. i know where we stand as a divided nation...the fact that kerry isn't polling at 75% is a good indication of how insane we are as a nation, but i think enough of us have gotten the proper insights into the character of our candidate to put him into the job and hopefully get us back on the right track as a nation.
and if not?
then it comes down to a coin toss between canada and new zealand, i guess.
let's see...other news?
maybe later...this is becoming one of those entries that threatens to take up an entire day as it is...
well....this is it.
