I am so attracted to everything from that era...fashion-wise, I mean.
I intended on posting something eloquent about my propensity for all things 70's and I wanted to descend into a diatribe that explained the desire to grow out my armpit hair (it's already 1/4 of an inch long!), but I can't focus on such things because I just listened to an EXTREMELY IGNORANT GENTLEMAN speak about how he's "all for a black president," but can't seem to get past his name, "Barack Hussein Obama"....WHAT THE FUCK? ARE YOU SERIOUS? I AM SO FUMING RIGHT NOW THAT I'VE GOT TO WRITE IN CAPS. WHO IS LIVING IN THIS WORLD? IT'S PEOPLE LIKE THIS WHO MAKE ME SO GODDAMN ASHAMED TO LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. YES, I SAID IT. I AM ASHAMED TO LIVE HERE WHEN I HEAR AFOREMENTIONED STATEMENTS. THIS IS THE RESULT OF POOR OR NO EDUCATION. I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE IT.
LOOK AT THE FACTS, PEOPLE! I DIDN'T WANT TO BLATANTLY SUPPORT A CANDIDATE ON MY BLOG (SINCE I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE AVID SUPPORTERS OF THE OPPOSITE PARTY), BUT I THINK IT'S TIME TO BE PUBLIC WITH MY VIEWPOINT. JOHN MCCAIN IS FLOUNDERING NOT ONLY BECAUSE HE SUPPORTS A PARTY THAT HAS FAILED THIS NATION FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS (AND BEYOND), BUT ALSO BECAUSE HE HAS LOWERED HIMSELF TO SPEAK ABOUT PERSONAL ISSUES AND NOT POLICIES. I AM ONE OF THE FIRST TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIS EXPERIENCE IN FOREIGN POLICY. I LIKED HIM BACK WHEN HE ACTUALLY WAS A MAVERICK BETWEEN PARTIES. I THINK HE'S A STAND UP GUY WHEN HE'S NOT PREACHING ABOUT "HUSSEIN" AND "TERRORIST" AND FALLACIES ABOUT "TAXES" IN FRONT OF AMERICA.
STOP WATCHING FOX NEWS (A STATION THAT *ALMOST* EVERYONE KNOWS IS TOTALLY AND CONSERVATIVELY BIASED!!!!!!) AND EXTEND YOUR KNOWLEDGE TO RECEIVE ALL OF THE FACTS....NOT JUST THE ONES THAT SUPPORT WHAT YOU ALREADY BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!
I'LL RESPECT YOUR VIEWPOINT IF YOU GATHER INFORMATION FROM ALL SIDES.
This is bullshit. I'm moving FAR FAR AWAY or I'm committing suicide if Obama doesn't win. I don't think I'm alone in this endeavor. It's time for a FUCKING CHANGE. I'm sick and tired of living in a place where a woman's right to chose is constantly in jeopardy or where homosexual men and women can't get the benefits that they deserve or where the entire middle class is suffering because we're in a fucking WAR and someone has decided that's the best way to spend our national monies (or not, since most of the money isn't even ours - it's borrowed from 10 other nations). All of these issues have consequences that clearly were not factored into the larger picture and we're all victims of poor foresight. But it was our choice and, hopefully, we'll do something about it.
It's a FEAR vs. HOPE election, folks. McCain vs. Obama, respectively. Choose what you will, but don't come crying to me if McCain's elected and the nation burst further into flames. Don't come crying to me because I'll already be dead.

I just have to say that I second that thought exactly... I'm in Canada next week and I'll be really tempted to not come home if things go McCain's way. I'll take socialism over another 4 years of fear tactics. I want a president smarter than me, not another one at the bottom of his class.
Hey Kel,
Seriously, I respect how you feel about the state of the upcoming elections, however,there are just some things, we as a general public, have no control over, so I hope some of the comments in your blog are just a reaction to all the commotion EVERY election draws from the public.
Love you and miss you!
Mom
Ignorance and apathy are a dangerous mix.
Kelly, I like your thoughtful and honest response, but your in-the-moment emotions from hearing "hussein" are a bit irrational. Regardless of what happens on Election day, life will go on. You're not going to move out of the country and you most certainly are not going to hurt yourself. Every day, people lose jobs, lose loved ones, lose hope. Life goes on...
Obama and McCain are both worthy of Presidency. I'm glad you wrote this piece, despite what others may think. In 10 or 20 years, you'll look back on this election with perspective...and you'll understand why it mattered sooo goddamn much in 08'
Hey Kelly!
Glad the results worked out so you didn't have to kill yourself, however i hope you were only kidding! I remember 4 years ago i heard several people say "if Bush is re-elected, I will move to Canada" and they are still here :)
But anyways, I was curious if you actually measured your armpit hair? This is something I could see you doing!
Hope you're doing great!
Miss & Love you!
