I smile every time I see this photo series. This time it made me cry.
We’ve gone to a few different rallies over the last six months – I was there when Obama spoke in St. Paul the night he clinched the Democratic nomination. Starting then, and at every event I’ve attended since, I have said the same thing (especially after watching the RNC on TV). “This crowd is inherently representative of the population of this country. How can this be wrong? How can someone see this as a bad thing?”
I love it. I cried on Election Night too, by the way. And we were not alone. In and outside the theater we were leaving, I saw hundreds of people cheering and dancing and smiling and crying and hugging.
I think we are finally headed in the right direction.
2009/9/16 - So much squee “Use Somebody” – Kings of Leon is so much <3. So. much. <3. I’ve liked them for awhile, though some of their songs have been an aquired taste. I have felt this song for parts of my life when I just felt invisible. It makes me smile and sad… and hopeful. (0)
2008/6/21 - PlurknTwit As though it weren’t bad enough that I installed a TwitterFox, I also installed Plurk Firefox Sidebar… because while I don’t always update, I check often. Man, oh man. It’s all about being a geek tonight!! (0)
