Election Day - HOPE!!! - Quotes

Change doesn't come from Washington. Change comes to Washington.
- Barack Obama, DNC Speech, August 8, 2008


Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
- Barack Obama, speech, February 5, 2008


I will never forget that the only reason I'm standing here today is because somebody, somewhere stood up for me when it was risky. Stood up when it was hard. Stood up when it wasn't popular. And because that somebody stood up, a few more stood up. And then a few thousand stood up. And then a few million stood up. And standing up, with courage and clear purpose, they somehow managed to change the world.
- Barack Obama, speech, January 8, 2008

Lyrics 4 (dedicated to AG & HN)

In Repair by John Mayer

Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight
Too many corners in my mind
So much to do to set my heart right

Oh it's taking so long
I could be wrong
I could be ready
Oh but if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, I am in repair

Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new luck upon me

Oh it's taking so long
I could be wrong
I could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, I am in repair

And now I'm walking in a park
All of the birds they dance below me
Maybe when things turn green again
It will be good to say you know me

Oh it's taking so long
I could be wrong
I could be ready
Oh but if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unready
Oh I'm never really ready
I'm never really ready

I'm in repair
I'm not together, but I'm getting there
I'm in repair
I'm not together, but I'm getting there
I'm in repair
I'm not together, but I'm getting there

About Me

My photo
I'm the fun, sarcastic, slightly bored and over it woman you saw at the other end of the bar. And yes, I am laughing at you and your friends. I've got a crazy sensitive BS detector, but I still have a beautiful smile. My friends come to me for advice, tough love and attitude to spare. I get along well with most folks, though I'm never quite sure why. There's a good chance I was mocking them just a few moments earlier. I'm over 30 and a voracious traveler, though I love my house to a startling degree. I still play video games, can probably drink you under the table and my family matters more to me than anything. I'm honest, mostly straightforward and hard to know really well. I've been called judgmental, and I'm working hard to not judge the idiots who said that. I learn from my mistakes, but that's no guarantee that I won't repeat them. I am an incredible friend, a decent worker and (apparently) a terrible girlfriend. But you'll love me anyway. Everybody does ... except those who don't.
