here comes the sun again (my subjects work!)

THIS, along with many other similar situations, is one of the biggest reasons I do not subscribe to organized religion of any kind, be it Christianity or Judaism or Buddhism or Hinduism or Islam or ETC. ETC. ETC. The whole "my religion is more legit than yours" mentality is nauseating.

We saw Barack Obama speak yesterday! Twas amazing. I have pictures which I will put on here soon. He's incredibly charismatic, even though he says mostly the same things you expect politicians to say, with a few hopes and unitys thrown in for good measure. But it was really cool, and I'm glad it's something I got to experience. They were taking copies of his book from people to have signed, and we didn't have one, so Sean handed a really old copy of Around the World in 80 Days (we brought it to read while waiting in line, also Children of Men and Living to Tell the Tale, Marquez's autobio) to the campaign manager, who just shook his head and said Barack was only signing HIS book. Then a guy working at the hotel B.O. spoke at took it from us and said he'd see what he could do, but alas! the book was returned to us unsigned. They had to hand all the books individually to the campaign manager, so I guess he saw it and figured we were just messing with him. It sucks, because you know Obama would've dug that shit, getting handed this ratty copy of a book not even remotely related to his campaign, instead of his nice, glossy, hardback book he authored. Oohhhh well.

ALSO, blogger won't let me put subjects on my posts anymore. I have no idea why.

I love them:
