in the past, i have somewhat used this blog as a personal journal so just for my own personal reference twenty years from now:

today is the day I cast my vote for Barack Obama and he was elected as the next President of the United States of America.

I voted for Bush in 04. I don't regret my vote in 04 but I am thankful for all the experiences and wisdom I have gained since then. I now truly see how parties measure up against each other and how I now want to use my vote to support the whole of the world and not just myself.

woke up early

watching local programming. there's a "heat warning" for this upcoming day.

the news anchor says, "the heat and air quality could be a danger today"

then they show footage from yesterday of an obese woman being wheeled off into an ambulance.

the anchor should have said "the heat could be a danger today if you are obese and dehydrated, all others... have a nice day in the pool"
