feb. 5 : cali primaries.

barack won s.c. almost 2:1. i was overjoyed to learn that he had won, especially since the southern vote was suspected of being very difficult for obama to obtain, considering he is black. not surprisingly, the younger people came out to vote and that made all the difference considering he dominated in that age range. however, the older vote definitely went to clinton. additionally, the little display that clinton/obama had in the debates probably did not help one bit. nonetheless, more individuals interviewed in the exit polls stated that they believed clinton was to blame for the debate.  Also, Obama just got the Kennedy endorsement. That is going to help a great deal in Massachusetts. Reminder: vote in your respective primaries/caucuses. Vote Barack :). 
for the past week, eric and i have gotten really ill. eventually i got cabin fever and had to go out and watch rambo with the guys. so good! i loved it and it's ridiculously high amount of violence. (un)fortunately we didn't get back till 5am. i also saw ps. i love you again and sobbed like a baby. there will be blood was super awesome too. daniel day lewis is the man. paul dano was excellent, surprisingly good considering his part in little miss sunshine didn't offer any insight into the brilliance that could be extracted from him. cloverfield almost gave me motion sickness and i was not impressed. fuck, im a complete movie whore. 
vote barack!michelle.
p.s. j&i got "shushed" at the movies for making fun of nicholas cage's terrible hair job during national treasure 2. movie though was fantastic!

no love no hope...

"200gr8" (this statement alone forced this post to be created...so i don't forget)

it is nice to have a positive outlook on life. being this happy is refreshing. i have a really good feeling about this year. it'll be substantially better come november and barack is in office :)

love

michelle.

p.s. hating is a very tiring thing. your outlook on life impacts the way you live your life. slowly, but surely i am cutting the negativity out of my life.

random note: i underline captivating quotes as i read. 

ignore the converge sticker/bookmark. book: barack obama, "the audacity of hope" (again)

yes, we can...

B. Obama lost NH. I am so bummed out, but I'm looking towards a turnaround. Obama was the underdog coming into the primaries and caucuses, and according to Obama, he is not a front runner, he is the underdog. I highly doubt that Clinton's candidacy has been changed 180 degrees. She still has to convince a lot of people in order to take the Democratic seat in the upcoming presidential election. Michigan is this coming Tuesday. (Obama isn't on the ballot, regardless I'm hoping that Clinton does not win)

94% Barack Obama
90% Chris Dodd
90% John Edwards
90% Hillary Clinton
81% Joe Biden
78% Bill Richardson
76% Mike Gravel
75% Dennis Kucinich
48% Rudy Giuliani
39% John McCain
31% Tom Tancredo
30% Mitt Romney
28% Mike Huckabee
17% Fred Thompson
8% Ron Paul

2008 Presidential Candidate Matching Quiz

not surprised that my candidate is a democrat, let alone b. obama. i also laughed a little to see ron paul at the bottom. that man is a waste. Has anyone ever seen Kucinich? IF you have, please check out the Simpsons episode about Ralph becoming a nominee for the presidential election. They have a moment where the Simpsonized Kucinich makes an appearance and I fell off the couch laughing. It was so good. 

love
michelle.

p.s i may go cross eyed with how much halo is being played. i love life.

"i've been in hostage negotiations that have been more civil than this"-Bill Richardson.

I finally watched the debates from yesterday. Hillary Clinton is a fucking idiot. I hated Edwards due to his persona, but he basically schooled Clinton; therefore, he gained some respect from me. Regardless, Obama, even though the debate forum is a weak point of his, brought his A game. Being juxtaposed with the likes of Clinton just point out his intelligence and eloquence. I'm embarrassed for Clinton, but not really. According to estimates, Clinton/Obama are tied in NH, but who knows after this debate. It was a debacle.

I really wouldn't mind going to Boulder either. I also wouldn't mind going to Chicago Feb 1st/2nd for HWM/Lucero. Or going to Seattle to FINALLY hang out with alison. OR going to NYC to hang out with lexy. OR being in the snow.

Signing out,
Michelle, an avid cuddler.

P.S. Where in the world is Alison Powell?

"our time for change has come."

Obama wins Iowa! I'm ecstatic. He won with 38%, and Edwards/Clinton are battling for second. I love the fact that I received a dozen texts when Obama won. Nevertheless, Huckabee, the ignorant fuck won the GOP caucus in Iowa. The other pig, Ron Paul only got 10%, with Giuliani surprisingly only getting 4! February 5th ladies and gentlemen is the California caucus, so get your voting hats ready. Vote Barack! Educate yourselves before you go vote. Barack in 08!



politics are so sexy. i would say, they're an overwhelming turn-on.

i found out jake's a republican; so i'm over it. i take political allegiances very seriously in regards to who i choose to date in my life. i could never ever date a republican.

i have yet to sleep. watching obama win iowa is far more important. playing halo3 till the early hours of the morning was well worth it as well. paddling out at san onofre while the sunrise happened was breathtaking.

floating on cloud nine!
michelle

p.s. love life. this is my year for sure. chris mccaughan, thank you for your words. your music is the soundtrack to my year. i love you for this.

virgils root beer party keg.

spent new years eve with my friends who opted out of their boat cruise to hang out with me! man, they absolutely rule and i love them tons. jake even brought over a root beer keg and by the end of the night, i couldn't even smell root beer without dry heaving. regardless, it sure is nice to have one friend who isn't a drinker. midnight hit and we all got our respective kisses to ring in oh-hate. we fell asleep watching simpsons...spider pig, spider pig! hilarious.

2008: making all the right moves. keeping it posi.

root beer kegs + spider pig!
michelle.

p.s. i have a good feeling about this year.
