Dear America, I hope you're right

I seriously think this was the most poor democratic line ups (at least out of the three I can really remember in my short life).

I absolutely refuse to support Obama.

I tend to lean towards democratic ideals, I suppose like most people my age do, but Obama seems terribly unfit for office.

He's a great politician, that's obvious.
Being a great politician just means you have the ability to convince those who don't think & research for themselves that you're an amazing person.

Using obscure and vague speeches that run solely on the idea of "change" as opposed to specific ideals and a game plan its a great way to get people to follow behind you blindly. Furthermore, it's a great way to make your weaknesses in your "game plan" and flaws as a candidate seem nonexistent.

unfortunately for America, a good 70% of us are stupid when it comes to government, politics & the economy.


Dear America,
I hope you're right about Obama.

We Are Everywhere

I'm on the road and I'm having a good time.
everyone in the band as grown a lot closer due to this tour and we've all become extremely comfortable with each other.

I'm currently in Augusta, GA where we'll be having a sick show tomorrow night!
I can't wait. I haven't played my hometown in SO long.
and I can't wait to see my friends.

I also can't wait to get back home to work on new things and figure out the direction of my life, which I'm almost certain is going to change a little bit as soon as I get home.

that's pretty much all I guess.

dear god, call an ambulance

I've been extremely swamped with tour booking.
period.
it seems like the only thing I've been doing for the past 2 weeks.

but tour is almost here again. It feels like it's been soo long since I last hit the road, and I'm excited to do it again. even though I know it's gonna be a rough trek.

I got a new kitten. I suppose it's OUR kitten. (the band & my roommates)
she's cute. and I enjoy her! :)

I found out 2 days ago that I have a sister... yes, a biological sister...
I haven't talked to her yet, but I know that she's 16 and she lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
I guess my birth mother decided to let her know that I exist and she's been trying to contact me... I guess to meet me.
I've never once had the desire to meet my birth mother. and for some reason, I kinda don't want to meet this sister I apparently have. Maybe I'm afraid of change. or maybe I don't really want to come face to face with a female version of myself.
Whatever the reason, I think I'm going to have to deal with it regardless.

I haven't seen my best friend in 2 months.
I guess for some people that's not a big deal, but she's extremely important to me. and I may be having some sort of withdrawal. haha.
Lucky for me, I'm an expert at keeping my sanity.
