i can't help but think that generations from now, when kids are taking their US history classes and reading about how the first african-american* to be elected as president happened on november 4, 2008.. they'll wonder about those times.. how epic it must have been for us.. in fact, even now i can't even fathom how epic it is. it's been happening, and is still happening right now, and it's huge. they'll be wondering about the headlines that must've been printed, about all the parties, about all the tv specials and news stories, and they'll probably look some of that stuff up online, and ask what it was like. it's like i almost want to take screenshots of different online news sites. we are living in an epic thread, but at the same time.. and this is what these kids in the future won't really think about.. life is just normal. it's like 11pm.. quiet outside.. refrigerator is humming.. computer running. i'm wearing my stage6 jacket, which has shrunken from being in the dryer too long. i'm not sure exactly what i'm trying to say.. maybe it's the contrast (or juxtaposition, if you will) of this momentous occasion in history with regular life.
anyway. amazing times.
*edit: first partially african-american. dude's half white.
