It's been a while hasn't it

I don't know what happened to be honest, but I am back to writing and I hope to write a lot more.

First of all, I would like to say how happy I am that the election is over. I am very happy that Barack Obama will be our new president. After losing two jobs to a horse-pocky economy, I am happy that Change is gonna come to this country.

By the way voting at McDonald's was fast and painless. See Asher's video:



I was done in a couple minutes, then got a number 2. The line to get McDonald's took more time than voting. Alas, it wasn't free.

This was my first West Coast election and I was really surprised how fast it was over. I am used to not hearing who the president was until at least 11:00 p.m. Here it was over at 8:00.

Many of you might have heard about Proposition 8. Which eliminates the rights of gay/lesbians to get married and other additional civil rights. It did pass in California, which shows you that there is a lot more to California than LA and San Francisco. A lot of people here are really angry about its passing and there has been many protests. In fact one is going on right now at city hall. Their hope is to get it overturned in the 2010 California election.

All in all I am happy that the election is over.

So I am back to writing again and couldn't be happier.
