Wow, it's late, and I'm feeling...Political.


I really wish I could have gone to see Barack Obama when he was here, unfortunately I had to work and plus the  8,000 free tickets sold in 11 or so hours, but the internet has definitely allowed me to pretend I was there. (Hey! It was  also on CNN!)  However, it was pretty cool at work to see all the people that attended the rally shop at work, I would walk out onto the floor and it was alive with people talking to each other, people who didn't know one another but wore the stickers, "Hey, you're wearing an Obama sticker as well! Wasn't it great?" It was really cool to see a community come together and bond over such an experience. Even though it was absolutely hectic for me....

From the Paper:

Many people left the arena quickly after Obama did, but one man was so moved by the possibility of hope and change that he sat quietly in the stands and cried.

Doug Frandsen said Obama represents hope that there’s something better for this country. The Missoula man said Obama is charismatic, but it isn’t his charisma that speaks to him. It’s his message.

“I don’t think I’ve experienced anything quite like it. I thought the Rolling Stones was good. This is better,” Frandsen said.



The Mayor, this guy is awesome he shops at the store quite a bit and is so friendly and funny, and here he is endorsing Obama: I think this is one of my favorite videos!
("Frankly Folks he (Obama) could be a Missoulian")

I can't believe I searched all those videos...Oh well! I can't believe out of all those videos I saw, I kept recognizing people in the crowd....wow, I live in a small town! :)
 
Anyways, regardless of your personal political stance; when the time comes to election day just go out and vote, let your voice be heard. We live in a great country where we can CHOOSE who runs our country. 

Happy Robert Burn's Day Everyone, well, a little late...but better late than never!




Haggis anyone?

Well, it was an extremely uneventful, yet fun trip! I was officially inducted into the band, however, I missed the usual getting the new person drunk thing, yay?

Well, to sum up the trip;

1. Getting get kicked out of a bar.
2.  Inducted into the band as a bagpiper
3. Making up a dance in front of a crowd to a made up tune.
4. Getting shunned by the band because of my Campbell roots.
5. Forgiven
6. Watching the History Channel
7. Made fun of because of my Campbell roots, watch out I'll steal YOUR sheep!
8. Wondering about White Supremacists.
9. Freezing.
10. Pondering things.

However, now I'm back in good ol' Montana, and now I have to work, boohoo.
