I haven't blogged in two weeks. There's alot of reasons, but really the fact is I ran out of things to say. If in the past two weeks a mind was still not made up as to the best choice for this country, I don't know what more can be said to force a direction.
Casting my vote, I reflected on the reasons I supported Obama throughout the past four years (yes, since his convention speech). I had a long post planned out in my head, giving the rationale for casting my vote, and about the people that had influenced me in my life and given me the knowledge in my soul that this man was the right man for this country: my father, Joe Strummer, my eighth grade history teacher, and countless others who lead me to the belief that the strength of this country is not only the voice each individual citizen has, but the shared beliefs in the goodness of our fellow man that gives weight to that voice not just for the present, but for our collective future. The post was planned in my head to perfection, or at least to the level of perfection an aspiring writer can achieve.
And then I decided not to write it. Because I read something that said it more perfectly than I ever could. I'm going to shut up again now, and wait until tomorrow to post. I just want all my friends to read the link below. I hope it moves you, as much as it moved me.
Read this, and know hope.
