bummmmmmmmmeerrrrr

guess who got laid off today? i'll give you one guess.

you can read more about it here if you'd like.

i will survive, just like that song says. no worries.

happy inauguration eve!

i'm old enough to know that no presidency in the last 20+ years has brought about this amount of excitement and joy. i am awkwardly more hopeful and happy about this than i care to admit, knowing that politics are never a clean business, and there seems to be corruption everywhere. i am generally a skeptic, but tomorrow seems like an opportunity for so much. as i write all this, i am trying to temper all of my hopes and ideals, with a "let's see what happens" attitude, instead of speculating. needless to say i will be glued to the television tomorrow.

Campaign/Barack Obama Art

one clear community that flourished throughout these campaign months is the art world. it has been so fun to see the works of designers and artists making creative and crafty things in the name of politicking, strong beliefs and sarcasm. as jess posted recently, 30 reasons posted a different piece of art that was designed by someone that wanted to convey the message of why someone ought to vote. here are a couple of my favorites from 30 reasons:


and here are a couple more than i found that i enjoy:


(the donuts and bacon is from here, and the OMG is from here.)

there are far more out there, probably far better ones, but those are the ones that have caught me eye.

and here are some flags i painted a year or so ago:

this was amazing. IT STILL is amazing. i'm actually proud of america & to be american, and am so thankful to have gotten to vote in this election. oh goodness!

The 44th President of the United States:

colongratulations to everyone who voted. win or lose, no matter your candidate, it's about being able to exercise the freedom to speak your minds.

amazing.

i can't even think thing straight. i'm about to cry!

please vote tomorrow.

“A woman’s ability to decide how many children to have and when, without interference from the government, is one of the most fundamental rights we possess.” — Barack Obama (Statement submitted to NARAL Pro-Choice America)

We can not forget that it was illegal to have an abortion only 35 years ago. The right to obtain a safe and legal abortion is not a guarantee. Your choice this November 4th will affect the choices of so many others to come. Choose Obama.

polaroid saturday

i am still without my computer, which means i am yet again posting a polaroid from my polaroid blog. i hope that next week i will be getting my computer back, and to step it up.

also, goodness i think i would have rather watched ufc than those GD debates.

i wish i could put mccain in a rear naked choke right now.

if i survive this election, it will be a miracle.

really? REALLY?

i don't even have words for this.

at least there's still humor. right?
