this that and other things

So now that I'm getting older (I turn 24 in only 9 short days) I've been doing a lot of thinking and reminiscing. It seems crazy to me that Brian and I have been together for 4 years already and even crazier that 4 years ago the American people decided to reelect George W. Bush on the exact day of my 20th birthday. Talk about a fucking birthday dissapointment. But luckily for me my 24th birthday happens to fall on the day daylight savings time ends which means while all of the rest of you only get a measily 24 hour birthday this year November 2 is the only 25 hour day in all of 2008 which means I get an extra hour of the world revolving around me (and my birthday twin, coworker and friend Emily, who also shares my special day.) I think this is God's way of appoligizing for the last 4 years. He's saying "Shelley, I really fucked you over bad...so to repay you this Sunday I am sending Barack Obama to Fort Collins and allowing you to see him speak for free, I'm giving you an extra hour of birthday fun, and 2 days after your birthday I will make the American people choose Barack Obama as president." OK so I'm not sure about the last part, but lets all hope it's true cuz God only knows we don't need a Sarah Palin rose. But how cool is that that Obama is coming to Fort Collins?!?!?!?!?! And you better believe I will SOOOOO be there. I'll be the girl camping out at the security entrance the night before he gets here with my dogs and their Bark Obama tags...

PS...Just a little snippet from John Kerry to make you smile (you remeber John Kerry, the man who was suppposed to make all my 20th birthday dreams come true..."Barack got asked the famous boxers or briefs question. I was tempted to say commando. Then they asked McCain and McCain said 'Depends.'"
