Finally February is here! Three weeks of January rain will drive you nuts. Only problem now is the humidity was keeping us relatively warm and now early morning temperatures are down to the low 30s(F). So… cold…

Today’s a big election day, something like 22 states are all holding democratic or republican party primaries. By the end of the day we should know who’s running against who for president. I’ve been rooting for Barack Obama but only because I know one of the more obscure candidates who I prefer, Dennis Kucinich, didn’t stand a chance. In fact he dropped out a couple weeks ago. I’ll admit I didn’t know who he even was until a couple of months ago, often confusing his last name with Kruschev. Haha, I blame history class for that one. I have my fingers crossed for vice president. I turn 18 on the 20th(zomg) so I can’t vote in this primary but I’ll be voting in the actual election. But hey, the second I see the Green party pick up some momentum I’m so jumping ship. Sure I won’t be able to vote in the Democratic primaries, but I’ll never forget the party representatives that came into our econ/gov class a couple of months ago. The Green party rep out-classed all of them. He was also the only rep… maybe the only person in the room… that knew what Net neutrality was. I actually somewhat owe him one for being able to explain it a bit better than I was(which was nerve racking in front of axp60+ kids and apx10 adults). The funny part was the Republican representative was some sort of networks engineer (or so he claimed) and was caught completely off guard by the subject.

I’m a bit pressed for time, I’ll update again tomorrow.
