Free-write?

I sat with the cursor blinking at me on the screen for a good ten minutes trying to figure out what to write about when I decided to just start writing and see what happens. I've only posted about four times and I've already ran out of things to write about. I was going to continue to complain about how it seems as though my life has gotten even more hectic but people are being forced to read this and I feel obligated to mix it up a little bit. Be prepared for some very random thoughts floating around my mind. I do apologize is some complaining sneaks in there, after all; I am a femal and it's what I'm good at.

I suppose I could start with the first thing I did this morning (after picking up Michelle at seven in the morning. Opps, there it is already!) After stopping at Kwik Trip to get some coffee Michelle and I headed to the La Crosse center to see Obama speak. We started walking and quickly realized that this was not going to be a short line. As we were about to walk all the way around the park to get to the end of the line I heard my name, and luckily enough saw Corey motioning for us to jump in by where he was standing. Once the speech finally started I was engulfed with the man's amazing ability to speak. Obama's words came out almost poetically as he promised us all hope of a better future. Don't get me wrong; I had planned on voting for Obama all along, but after hearing that speech it seemed almost impossible for anyone to vote for another canidate. While we were leaving I got stopped by an interviewer for the La Crosse Tribune. The woman from the Tribune asked me how I felt after hearing the speech and I proud to talk about how excited I am to vote in the next presidential election. Many people my age have told me that they couldn't care less about who becomes our next president. This just baffles me! How can someone not care about something that will determine how the rest of their lives along with the lives of their future children will go.

Now I'm exhausted so I think i'll head back to my house where my internet doesn't work because one of Ty's wonderful friend broke my router :)

I totally wwould of gone and watched him speak, but I undoubltfully had class, which may I add the teacher did not even show up! So I would of gone. I heard exactly what you said, that he is a great speaker from many different people who went to see him. They all said that when he speaks, everything just flows very naturally like he's a professional. Well, I guess he kind of is.
