I am exercising my writing because my girlfriend and other things. I feel like writing again in a sense and I just want to exercise my mind.
First thing, Barack Obama. He's a mutt, but as tradition goes, if you're 2% black, you're pretty much black. I've heard the gamut of opinion on feelings of the new president-elect ranging from: GET YOUR GUNS! HE'S GONNA GIVE BLACK PEOPLE EVERYTHING! to RACISM IS OFFICIALLY OVER! None of which is true. It is a happy month because of the outcome of elections in a lot of ways. Thank god we don't have someone like John McCain in office at such a crucial time in American history for one. Secondly, it's good to see that at least the majority of Americans saw through the allegations of Barack Obama being a muslim terrorist loving person. Sadly, it wasn't a big majority and I'm sure a good chunk of that majority's decision came from the fact they hate women in power, especially dumb women in power like Sarah Palin or would wince and still vote for a black person just because "Dubya" has been so terrible. The less Sarah Palin we get exposed to in our lives, the better the world gets, her and Ann Coulter included. Barack Obama has definitely a tough job ahead of him: Saving 8 years of face to the world, dealing with two wars, the largest economic downturn in decades, a huge national debt that of course no one in America wants to pay another cent in taxes to pay but ironically support war and the trillions of dollars of money that go into it....the list goes on. I hope his youth keeps him energized and busy, because all this shit he has in front of him is going to advance his age 10 years.
Second Thing, Prop 8 and the measures passed in McCain's Arizona and Florida. Why and who the fuck really gives a shit in the sanctity of marriage enough to bring government into it? Where's the separation of Church and State when you need it for "christ's" sake? Okay, fine, gays can't marry in your chapel, church, mosque, or temple but why the fuck can't they get a marriage license, file a joint tax return, or take the benefits of straight people when it comes to things as property and deaths and custodies and etc? Why can't they go to divorce court like half of all marriages in the United States and litigate for what's what in their homes and their bank accounts? When did marriage get holy again? Have Elvis impersonators stopped marrying people in Las Vegas or something? How can America love Ellen dance and then on the other hand tell her she can't marry her love of her life? Really? Call it civil union if you have to, but give them benefits enjoyed by all, be it under the eyes of god or the eyes of love. When the hell did it become your business if two men or two women are fucking and living together with wedding rings on?
Third Thing, a lighter note, WHY HOLOGRAMS?!?!? CNN had the bright idea of projecting holograms during election coverage? Why? What a waste of computing power and cameras! I played Sega's "Time Traveler" video game when I was a kid and I died like everyone else playing that game trying to do that first jump in the game and I wasn't fucking impressed in the least. People are still watching election coverage on 2D televisions! If you wanted correspondents and guests to look like Obi-Won-Kenobi, you could of just did that shit on the cheap, certainly cheaper then 36 cameras and 36 projectors and probably 30 computers rendering images in real time and get the same effect. Unless you beam those fucking holograms into living rooms across the world, I cease to be impressed at all about this hologram shit. |
