I can hardly contain my excitement for this election. The last election still felt like not a ton would change. New guy, new taxes, everything kind of washing out the same. I had no idea what would happen over the last 4 years that would inspire so many more Americans to feel like they have to vote. But I feel their pain. It took 2.5 months to find a job. I spend $200 a month in gas to get to work and back. I know a lot of guys I went to school with and went to parties with who are shooting guns to defend their lives, our lives, on the other side of the world. You can really feel how much it matters.
The wild part of it all... today, at 9:44 the election results on the east side of the country look so similar to the union/confederacy lines of the civil war. Observe:

Is this not completely insane?? It's not perfect... but its wild. We are resting on the verge of a major american historical event. To think, that some 200 years from now, this will be a question on a menial quiz. Middle schoolers will scratch their heads before answering, yet so fresh today is the thought of our first black american president.
This is it. The world is changing. Everything is going to be different. Change is hard, but it's a good thing.
I can't wait to see what the next 4 years bring. The end to the war? It's been going on so long. A booming economy? I'll not take it for granted again. Racial bickering? How nice to lay that by the side of the road and move forward.
Imagine...
