No red, no blue, just purple.

Yes this may be long, yes it may be rambling, yes this may be incoherent and yes it may be entirely possible that no one other than myself will ever read it but that's just fine with me!

I will start out by saying go check out this awesome website .

Did you do it??? Do it so you can share in my euphoria!!!!

Ok so I was browsing face book and somehow I stumbled upon the link to the above website and all I can say is WOW. I have renewed hope for human beings! It's about darn time that people joined together as one. I am so proud that finally my generation is standing up for something, and not just anything but for the right for everyone to co-exist peacefully regardless of politics. My generation (and a lot of Americans in general) is known for some pretty negative things; we have a ridiculous sense of entitlement, we have been at times apathetic and lazy but it's not entirely our fault. This is all still so new to us, there has never been a country like this awesome one and so we're still figuring it out. We might make mistakes, we might stumble and fall flat on our faces but you know what??? It doesn't matter because we have far more good qualities than bad and we will pick ourselves right back up, band together, and change the world. I am so proud to finally be feeling the sense that maybe I actually can make a difference and see a change, maybe my generation really is part of something great. It's terrible that things had to get so bad for us to finally stand up but I have faith in us, that we can and will make changes where they need to be made.

As you may or may not know, I am no optimist and I realize that there is a crazy amount of work to do but I just feel so privileged that the human beings of this country are starting to realize that it takes ALL of us to make a change. We ALL need to be heard as well as learn to listen to others, we all need to take responsibility for our mistakes and fix them. Basically, we're all in this together LET"S DO IT!!!!

And with that I'll put the pipe down and get back to the grind of real life :)

Me and Chelsea: BFF's

So I forgot to tell you about this one time a couple weeks ago when I met Chelsea Clinton. She's much prettier than she was when she was the first daughter and was very well-spoken. I am still absolutely floored that anyone even remotely famous in any way would come to my school because that just doesn't happen. We are like the lepers of our county, we don't get outside visitors ever. Apparently we're moving up in the world, that or Hillary really wanted to win Ohio (I'm pretty sure it's the latter) regardless, it was fun and I do have a picture of me and her but I must warn you that it is BAD. In all caps and bold kinds of bad. I will not defend myself for going out in public looking like that, there is no excuse (plus why the heck is the camera zoomed in so much?) And also my pirate eye and triple chin-they suck some major ass. But hey I can't look perfect all the time (or ever).




p.s. Even after all this I still didn't vote for your mom, sorry Chelse-meister hopefully we're still BFF's

p.p.s. No I did not shave my head I had it back in a ponytail with a headband in and apparently it just frizzed the heck out (I'm so embarrassed, blush)

My dad (a devoutly religious man) would punch me if he read this entry

As I was surfing the Internet I stumbled across this

I have to say after watching it and reading some of the reports beneath it I am pretty disgusted. People are acting as though being Muslim equates to being a racist, disrespectful, inconsiderate, terrorist. Let me just say: no. There are extremists in every religion and I really just wish people would stop wasting time believing in and putting emphasis on stereotypes. I don't know a great deal about the Muslim faith nor do I purport to however I am a firm believer in freedom of religion which is one of the great rights of being in America. I guess what I'm saying is I wish people would not answer questions such as the one asked in that clip by vehemently denying that they are of one faith (in this case Muslim) and making it seem as though it is something wrong. The answer should be a simple no and not a "No I am absolutely not a Muslim, I am a Christian, and I was sworn in on the BIBLE" making it seem as though Christianity is the only acceptable religion. Those e-mails were meant to play into prejudices and by answering questions in that manner I feel that it just re-inforces said prejudices.

Oh and also this has nothing to do with who I do or do not support in the election it was simply a solid example of a phenomenon I have been noticing for quite some time now and it does not mean I think anything of Barack Obama one way or another.
So put that in your juice box and suck it all you people who like to make controversy!!!! :)
