My Diary
11/3/08 - i drove a pickup truck full of identical black suitcases while sitting next to an Iraqi man (no english) and listening to bluegrass (his choice). doesn't that sound like some sort of weird dream?*
11/4/08 - Barack Obama was elected president.
11/5/08 - I like America.
*[i got an internship starting last week with the Int'l Rescue Committee Refugee Resettlement Office in Suburban Washington DC. I mainly work with Asylees, gettin' them the services they need. Anyways, I'm really enjoy the work and people, but ain't gettin' paid none.]

Victory!
obviously i wish mckinney had done well enough to garner some national attention but still: HELLZ YEAH MOTHERBITCHEZ!!!
before we get carried away with this 'yes we did' business - we haven't done much of anything yet. this is the first, and easiest step. the man is elected - and now the challenge is fulfilling the promises that this event holds. obama needs to be held to higher standards than any head of state that has come before him, because there's no reason barack obama shouldn't be the greatest president in american history up to this point. it's not just the past eight years we need to recover from. that's why i proudly and futilely cast my vote for cynthia mckinney this morning: because there are litterally hundreds of years of american history that from which we need to recover - hundreds of years of injustice and shitty presidents that we need to make up for. and ultimately, i believe something more radical than the democratic party is needed to fulfill the promise of the united states.
but tonight i'm a bit overwhelmed with joy and hope. this could be an amazing start of something. they keep trying to tell me this is the most important election of my lifetime, and i kinda hope they're right. i hope this is the turning point.
and also, i totally wish i could be on foss hill tonight: shit is almost assuredly bananas.
be well, stay strong. love you guys.
