You know, I can understand that people are upset because their guy did not win, but you know what - get over it. I cannot believe how some people including some on my flist have been striking out in anger and saying some very hurtful things not a few regarding race ( Read more... ) -

Glory.
I have been crying on the phone with my best friend for over an hour. I didn't think it would hit me like this. I was excited about this but the sense of relief that the long dark night is almost over. God, it's been a long agonizing eight years and it's almost over ( Read more... ) -
Election Day 2008 - God Bless America!
Well, here we are. It's today.
Although I've already voted, I am up and as excited as anyone about what's about to happen today. I'll be up all night watching the election returns.

It took 20 mins before I got to the head of the line and was able to vote. We had very cool new electronic ( Read more... ) -
General Colin Powell on Meet The Press
As you know, I have limited my interaction on LJ in recent weeks but I wanted to reach out to my flist however breifly this morning.
I have never been more moved than I was watching General Powell on Meet The Press this morning. By the time it was over, I could hardly hold back the tears. He's a good man and I think he speaks to the hearts of the ( Read more... ) -
Oh My God - It's Caprica!
That was my first startled impression when I first laid eyes on Vancouver as the plane decended through the clouds for landing. The cityscape had the same outline as we see from the opening credits of the BSG - there's no mistaking it. I was amazed! The image of it registered immediately as Caprica on my brain and I haven't thought of BSG in ( Read more... )
