We the Kings, The Academy Is...., and Gays?

Election night was so exciting. I went over to Gordon's with Katie and Ben amongst others, and we just had an all out fun time. In the end, when Obama was the winner, our friends were tearing up, and so was Oprah! I think it was one of the greatest moments in the history of my generation. I mean, this is the start of something new for us, and it really says something about us, especially all of us that voted for the first time ever, it really was the perfect year to be a first time voter. I feel bad for my friend Ian because he's still 17 and couldn't vote. But anyway, Obama's speech was completely amazing, and I do feel bad that his grandmother couldn't live to see him win the presidency. Michelle Obama seems like the Jackie Kennedy of today, she's just got that thing. I must say that John McCain made a very nice recession speech, and that I'm disappointed in his audience when they booed at the name of Barak Obama. It was very disrespectful and immature. My jaw dropped when they did that and I still can't get over it.

I had to write a paper this week for my Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies class. It was on my opinion on gay marriage, and I think I got my point through very well. I'm completely for gay marriage, and even though I know that Barak Obama is against it, I hope that one day soon we can change that. My heart broke when Proposition 8 passed in California. They were really taking a leading step in moving this country forward, and now they're just moving backward again. I may just add my essay on this blog one day, I'm not sure yet.

Halloween passed last weekend. How awesome it was. I went to one of the parties as a Puppet, Gordon was a Panda, Katie was Tinkerbell (of course), and Kaitlynn was a Druggie...haha, it was great. We had mucho fun and sadly had to witness people having sex against the wall....ugh how disgusting.

Last night (Wednesday), Katie and I drove back up to Parma to go to the "Bill and Trav's Bogus Journey Tour". It was AMAZING. It was Hey Monday and Carolina Liar with We the Kings <3 and The Academy Is... <3 It was probably the best show I've seen yet, and I wouldn't mind seeing either or both bands again. William Beckett is gorgeous! Just saying...

And right now as we speak, Arielle is rocking out to Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne, and I'm kind of enjoying it. I'm watching Airplane with Miller Manor, Katie, and my boy tonight, I'm pumped.

Shout out to Phil and Joe!

Omigosh Michelle Obama reminds me of Jackie Kennedy too! And Jackie is one of my heroes, so that's a compliment to Michelle haha.

Also that's totally sweet that you guys saw The Academy Is...
Last time I saw them was 2005, at Warped Tour, and I think that they were still pretty new then. I really don't know much about We the Kings though.
