A bit of a rant today, because I’m not feeling well and I just want to vent. We’re going out to eat with my mom and her “friend” today for my birthday. This guy is very anti-Obama and as we’ve come to know him, very anti-anything-that-is-not-white. He claims he is (or was) a die-hard democrat. Funny how that happens. On Halloween when they came over to sit with us while we passed out candy, he snuck into the garage and put a McCain sticker on my car. Very mature, no? If you ask him why he is against Obama, all he says is that he (Obama) doesn’t believe in our country, his name might as well be Osama and take your pick of all the stupid chain emails going around about him being a terrorist - he apparently believes them all. (I’m probably inviting flames from people who agree with my mom’s friend. I. Don’t. Care.)

I whole-heartedly believe in and am proud of my decision to support Barack Obama. I’m so very happy that he was elected. But I leave it alone. I don’t talk politics with people, because I’m not good at getting my point across in a calm manner when backed into a corner. But my limits are no doubt going to be tested today. When my mom called me earlier to ask where we wanted to go, I heard him in the background saying “as long as I don’t have to eat Obama. None of that watermelon and chitlin crap. hehehehe”. GAH. If you don’t hear from me for a while, I’m most likely sitting in a jail somewhere.
