Yay, it’s election day 
The latest “poll of polls” from CNN has Obama up 7 points nation wide. Come this evening when we get the results, I’m thinking it will be more like 51% to 49%, and that can go toward either candidate.
God must want the election to be much closer or he wants McCain to win in NC and VA, since he is making it rain. The rest of the country isn’t that bad weather wise, except for in the upper pacific. Why god, why? :p
Here are some predictions: NC, OH, FL all go McCain. I hope VA goes Obama, because that will seal the deal for him, unless CO, NM, & NV go McCain. 272 to 266 is too close for my comfort, but a win is a win.
I heard talk a while ago about McCain pulling a Gore and winning the popular vote but losing the electoral vote. I believe Gore was down 6 or 7 points before election day, but ended up winning the popular vote. Yes, conventional wisdom says that most undecideds will go against the incumbent party, but let’s face it, this time the other guy is black. Even though I have no idea who these undecided voters are (or if they will even vote), I think a lot of them will be looking for a reason to not vote Obama because they just are not comfortable with him and the risk associated with voting for someone who isn’t someone we think of as a traditional candidate (he would be perfect if he was whiter).
Anyway, enough about race, even though if Obama loses, that is what it’s going to be all about. 2008 has been a somewhat crappy year as far as people dying in my family. Yes, it could have been a lot worse, but 4 deaths in a year is never good. My grandmother passed away in February, my grandfather two months ago, my step-grandmother last week and my great aunt last week. It’s ok because death happens, but I have grown very tired of going to funerals. I just hope the rest of 2008 is fine.
I am almost done doing everything I want to do in my place at this time. I have a couple more pictures and mirrors to hang up and I want to buy one more small piece of furniture to put somewhere, then I’ll pretty much have everything complete. I wouldn’t mind getting some of those small reclining chairs to put in a corner in the guest room, but I haven’t completely made up my mind about that idea.
I’m debating about going to class tonight or not. I think I will probably attend. The professor has talked about moving class up so we can get out around 7:15/7:30. Maybe we’ll have the Internet up and keep track of things come 7 when results start.
Take care everyone and remember to vote today
Hola readers.
It’s been quite a while since I written here. Almost a month has passed. It’s been awfully busy. My grandmother passed away two weeks ago (that’s it!) today and was in the hospital for the two weeks prior to her death. I was up there for most of a two week period and off and on during other times. We had a lot of house cleaning to do; figuratively and realistically speaking. I tired to get back in the swing of things last week, but it was spring break on campus and things were just slightly different. Busy, but different. This week is actually starting to feel like normal.
I saw a movie (10,000 BC) last Friday night, which was a first in half a year or so. I actually kind of liked it but I do enjoy history and thinking. It is neat to see how things could have been. There were some pretty random parts and the writing was not very… good, but it provided the epic movie it said it would.
I have a lot to say, but then again I really don’t. I always have a lot to say, at least in my mind it seems like a lot, but actual spoke words are much less. I had class tonight which I somewhat enjoyed. I don’t know if it was the lack of formal schooling for a year and a half or laziness or lack of motivation, but I find school harder than it should be. I enjoy and find interesting most of what we discuss, so I don’t think it’s the subject matter. Maybe the fact that I am not paying for class or I am not technically working toward a degree at the moment causes a lack in motivation or I could have lost some discipline. I don’t know, I’ll figure something out later :p
I am going to a show Thursday night. I guess you would call it a show. It’s at Meredith. There is a presentation of the Vagina Monologues. I never saw it at App, even though there was a presentation every semester, or so it seemed. Maybe the catchy name causes memory recall more often than what actually occurred. Who knows. All I know is I am tired and it’s only 8:50. Isn’t that a funny saying, “All I know…” Because we technically “know” an infinite amount of things, depending on your use of the word know. Yay for me giving you something to ponder over, like Brain.
