Putting everything as far as ideas and point of view aside, its time to think about how much this election has impacted our daily lives. 

On a personal aspect, it has been a daily thought. Somthing I have always been able to talk to friends and family about, almost like a conversation starter like, “So, its realyl cold outside today!” or “Wow, gas prices are really down from last week!”

Well folks, its almost the end of the road. A road that has been one of the longest I have ever seen, tho i have only lived through 2 elections in my short life (that I can remember without being a small child.) This time it has dragged on for a long long time. 

People that I have talked to have mentioned mostly about T.V commercials as the prime annoyance of this election. I quoted someone saying “I would rather start seeing christmas ones then Obama, or McCain ones right now.” This is scary considering its not even Halloween yet! They also dream of a day when they can eat dinner in peace without the phone blowing up all night long.

I can see how people can be ready for this election to be over with. I Personaly hope that it ends the way that I belive it should tho, I have also learned alot about people during this long period of time.

I have learned that some people really do care about politics, even when they say they dont. Some people also have got involved for the very first time this election becasue it is so inportant to them and our generation. Barack Obama has given a energy to the young people that I have never seen before. John McCain has given people that are ok with the current way of politics somthing to belive in once again. 

I have meet so many great people along the way as well. From meetings to meeting people along the way as we try to sway theri votes, people were for the most part, very nice and kind and ready to have an open mind about the future of our country.

So what will happen when this is all said and done? Will people just go back to their everyday lives? Or will people and the media still be caught up in the election 08 mindset for a while to come?

Its up to the people to decide our next president in november, but it will also be up to the people to decide how life goes on after a long and hard fought election.

For the past few days every time I step foot out the door, I want to go run and jump in a large bath or into a warm sauna.  I never remember it getting this corld this early in the fall before, maybe just becasue this year had not been like every other year…

Not only has this year gone by so fast but so many amazing things have happened. Let me list out for you some of the most inportant thing thus far.

-I feel like I am growing up, never before have I felt like I am ready for resposiblity and action into creating my future. 

-I have meet an amazing person that fills my life with joy on a day to day bascis. Before I never really looked down on myself (ask my mother, I never have really had any selfissues so to speak) Now I am just confused as to why someone would care so much about me, tho it is becoming more clear every day.

-I have noticed reason for change, not only in my life but in the way that I think and do things.  I have got more involved in politics as im sure if you know me you have figured out by now. I have been more blunt and honest with people, and have not been so hesetant to tell people how I feel about things. 

-Im ready for the future. Im ready to realize that im grown up to a point, tho im still young, I have to make alot of decisions that will impact the rest of my life.

I feel that this is a proper first blog to state how I feel about my life as a whole.

I am absolutly blessed with my friends, family, and everyone that surrounds me at work and in my everday life. Hurrdles mean nothing to me anymore and im ready to take on the world.

Goodnight all.
