9.In Which I Discuss the Election and My Loneliness

As all of you know, last Tuesday Barack Obama became the next President of the United States. I was glad because I voted for Obama after all, but I just don't know why some people have to freak out. Things such as "our country is becoming socialist." Please, the majority of people that I know don't know what socialism actually is. It seems like the Red Scare mentality still exists in the minds of the ignorant. The people have spoken on this one.

Even if you didn't vote for Barack Obama, I'd recommend that everyone trust that he can lead our country. I know that I would have supported McCain if he was elected. I like both Barack Obama and John McCain. They're both good men, and I'm glad that one of them is leading our country. I hope that everyone who voted did so out of their belief on who can best run our country. Values are important, but if you only vote for someone based on values, that's kinda missing the big picture.

I'm not sure exactly why, but I've started to feel lonelier each day the past few weeks. I just hope that it goes away. I think that some of the loneliness might come from the fact that I have several big assignments coming up, but I don't know. I'm not the happiest guy around. Well, I hope all of you have a great day.
