2 Second Break
This is gonna be really short cause I'm super busy at work, but I forgot to tell you all that I felt my first earthquake! I'm only excited because it was a little one (a 5.1 in Mexico) and no one got hurt... and I've been wanting to feel one since I moved here 9 years ago. Anyway, it lasted for about 3 to 5 seconds and made the building feel like it was swaying. So weird!
Okay, back to work for me, but, check out this article. Maybe fairytales are real, after all :)
I need a snow day.
Welcome to Southern California - the land of perfectly tanned beauties, buff surfers annnnnnd conceited weather reports?! I always knew that California was pretty full of itself, but this? Come on!
Send some snow my way!
Yes We Can.
Today was Super Tuesday... a day to vote. A day for change. A day to show what America is about. As I stood in line and signed my name and cast my vote, I felt proud. I felt happy. We are a lucky people. We are free. And, in a world like ours, that means a lot. I couldn't help but look around as I filled in my ballot bubbles and think about how lucky I am - how lucky we are. We can go to the polls and vote and not worry about a million things that people in other nations have to worry about. For this reason, and so many others, I love our country. I love America. So, now as I sit at home with my "I voted" sticker on my shirt and my t.v. tuned to the results, I'm anxiously waiting to find out the potential, future leaders of our country. We need something to happen, and we need it to happen soon. We need better education. We need better health care. We need change. The thing is, if I really think about it, voting is really important to me. Maybe more important than I've thought it to be in the past. As someone who is a woman and half black, I represent a collection of people who didn't get to vote for free. I represent a people who had to struggle for their rights, who had to fight for the ability to demonstrate their beliefs. This is why I feel so proud. Even if my one little vote didn't change anything. Even if it didn't sway the election, I know it's important that I made the effort to do what so many other people can't do. And, despite the fact that I'm a registered Republican, this video depicts what should be everyone's takeaway from the primaries and the upcoming presidential election - yes we can. We can make a change. We can make a difference.
Did you vote this Tuesday? I know I did.
