inauguration day

today's the day! after eight horrible years, bush is finally out of office. i remember talking to tons of germans in 2003/2004 while studying abroad about how terrible he is as a president; i've been waiting for this day for quite a while, and the rest of the world has as well. i'm not being ignorant, and i'm not being anti-american. i love this country, absolutely, but life does not start and stop with the u.s.a. the sooner we realize that, the better. i recommend everyone to travel abroad, listen to what people say about politics, economics, efficiency, and acceptance. our egos are our own worst enemy.

i believe we can change. i have hope for the future. i do not know what the future will bring, but i believe it will be bright and beautiful. in obama i trust, and you should too.

current music: sigur ros - "hoppipolla"
