“well, well, well!” as Vegeta would say, looks like my expectation came true afterall. Barack Obama has been chosen by the American people to be their president, and it’s a big suprise on the win too.
i thought maybe he would win by 273 electoral votes, but it was beyond that. he beat McCain double his votes!!! as Americans will say, Obama really wooped his ass so bad, McCain had to back down. ahahaha!!! and the look on Sarah Palin, well, sorry, the Hilary tears trick won’t work this time. ahahaha!!!
one thing Americans should know is that the World is now on your side. even in my native country, Dem. Rep. of Congo, people came out in the streets honking and screaming. why? because they feel somehow that Obama will finally hear our cries since none of the previous American president did. maybe He’s the answer to the civil wars that happens in many African countries. with Obama having African blood in him, he won’t joke around when it comes to talk business, and he wont hesitate to strike down those who will oppose America.
that’s why i think he will be an incredible leader, and the best U.S. president in United States history. ;D
tomorrow is a big day, and i am so excited about it; even though i’m not voting (hint: not a citizen). whatever happens tomorrow will determine our fate for the next 4 yrs, maybe even 8 yrs from now. i’ve lived through a republican administration, and i don’t think i liked it. so, i’m hoping to see a democrat in place and see how things will go. for the record, i’ve known that democrats are better at paying republican’s debts. lol, talk about spending.
well, America, you decide. i’m just a spectactor, and watching how the game will end. Change has come!
last weekend, i worked 12 hrs on saturday, and 11 hrs on sunday. i’m so tired that i can’t think. i had to cover for someone since he requested off. this is another proof of how bad Mr. W Bush has messed up this country. people are really struggling. even the rich are complaning, and i’m just a student who can’t afford to have $50 bucks at the end of the month.
i haven’t really found a lot of blogs out there that has any of my interests, but i’ll just name five of them that i have been in it for quite a while.
The Fresh Page:
I’ve discovered this blog website, and it’s all about electronic music. it’s new to me, so i don’t really know how to go around the site, but i think it’s a great site to discover unheard electronic music that are out there. as an artist, i don’t like it because it cost a lot to be a premium member, so i’m just going to be standard member. i need to spend more time to find out if the blog is really worth it.
this is my number one blog when it comes to get news. i love the Yahoo newsblog because it’s always updated and accurate, as you can see, it’s Yahoo!! it has to be accurate. everyday when i’m online, this is the first thing that i see on my home page, news. i love politics and hate it. i can’t get enough of what’s going on in the world. i don’t want to be ignorant, so i have to stay tuned. that’s why this one made on my list.
it’s a group blog on Facebook that i spend some time in there. it’s a christian blog where non christians and christians alike can post topics and reponds to it. i love it because there is a large amount of topics. there is a lot of hate and love at the same times. topics about God, death, sex, homosexuality, etc…. you can also meet some people in there just to question, not to get answers, just to bother.
it’s a blog about some of the best 80s music. i love 80s music, so when i have found out about this post, i fell in love with it. it’s based on a person’s point of view, so i’ll see if what i like is the same as his.
i don’t really follow up with it, but usually i go there when there’s a review over a song or about artists who have past away. it’s okay, but sometimes i don’t believe on some of the post they have there, but they are pretty decent.
well, i’ve found this post from the Philadelphia Inquirer. the author, Michael Smerconish, put out a very details information as of why McCain was not able to get his vote. in this link http://www.philly.com/inquirer/currents/31242619.html, he put a little details of the 5 tests that McCain has failed:
Terrorism. The candidates disagree as to where to prosecute the war against Islamic fundamentalists. Barack Obama is correct in saying the front line in that battle is not Iraq, it’s the Afghan-Pakistan border. Osama bin Laden crossed that border from Tora Bora in December 2001, and we stopped pursuit. The Bush administration outsourced the hunt for bin Laden and instead invaded Iraq.
No one in Iraq caused the death of 3,000 Americans on 9/11. Our invasion was based on a false predicate, so we have no business being there, regardless of whether the surge is working. Our focus must be the tribal-ruled FATA region in Pakistan. Only recently has our military engaged al-Qaeda there in operations that mirror those Obama was ridiculed for recommending in August 2007.
Last spring, Obama told me: “It’s not that I was opposed to war [in Iraq]. It’s that I felt we had a war that we had not finished.” Even Sen. Joe Lieberman conceded to me last Friday that “the headquarters of our opposition, our enemies today” is the FATA.
Economy. We face economic problems that are incomprehensible to most Americans, certainly they are to me. This is a time to covet intellect, and that begins at the top. Jack Bogle, the legendary founder of the Vanguard Group, told me recently that McCain’s assertion that the fundamentals of the economy were “strong” was the “stupidest statement of 2008.” In light of the unprecedented volatility in the market, who can dispute Bogle’s characterization and the lack of understanding that McCain’s assessment portends?
VP. I opined here that Sarah Palin demonstrated the capacity to be president in her speech to the Republican convention. Sadly, there has been no further exhibition of her abilities, and she remains an unknown quantity. We are left questioning the judgment of a candidate who bypassed his reported preferred choices, Lieberman and former Gov. Tom Ridge, and instead yielded to the whims of the periphery of his party. With two wars and a crumbling economy, Palin is too big of a risk to be a heartbeat away from a presidency held by a 72-year-old man who has battled melanoma. Advantage Joe Biden.
Opportunity. In a speech delivered on Father’s Day, Obama lamented that too many fathers are missing from the lives of too many children and mothers. Look no further than Philadelphia for proof that the nation has a fatherhood problem at the root of its firearms crisis. And no demographic is affected by this confluence of factors like the black community. Among the many elements needed to address this crisis are role models, individuals whom urban youth can aspire to emulate. Little more than a year ago, Charles Barkley told me: “I want young black kids to see Barack on television every day. . . . We need to see more blacks who are intelligent, articulate, and who carry themselves with great dignity.” Obama can be that man.
Hope. Wednesday morning will come and an Obama presidency holds the greatest chance for unifying us here at home and restoring our prestige around the globe. The campaigns have foretold the kind of presidency we can expect from each candidate. Last Friday in Lakeville, Minn., McCain himself had to explain to a supporter who was “scared” of an Obama presidency that those fears were unfounded. Another told McCain that Obama was untrustworthy because he is an “Arab.” Those exchanges were a predictable byproduct of ads against Obama featuring tag lines such as “Too Risky for America” and “Dangerous,” and a failure to rein in individuals at McCain events who highlighted Obama’s middle name, all against a background of Internet lore.
Last Saturday at Progress Plaza, I heard Obama say: “The American people aren’t looking for somebody to divide this country; the American people are looking for someone to lead this country.”
i can remember my first time when i became a member of myspace. i was unfamiliar with it and i didn’t know how thing went. then i got to meet Tila, i’m sure all of you know who she is before she became the mega star of myspace. myspace was good for me to talk to my friends who are living far away from me. i was a teenager at that time, and i had no money to own a cell phone. so, myspace was a way for me to communicate with my buddies.
now i use myspace for music since i’ve become a music producer. i have quite a few listeners who come to check my profile daily. i haven’t had time to actually promote my page since i’m too busy with school and work. with the upgraded version of myspace music, i think it could help me with my promotion.
i use facebook more to get in touch with my friends who are now in college. it’s much better than myspace because they have an online chat. so whenever you’re online, you can talk to your friends if they show up on the online status. although i was not happy with the newer version (i accidently upgraded when i looked at my friend’s profile), i kinda got used to it.
Youtube.com is also an awesome site that i love to use to watch videos and even promote mine. http://youtube.com/makaku777
i bet there are more site out there that can lead me to meet new people. i was thinking of the dating website; i forgot its name. yeah, match.com, but i refrained myself because it’s more about dating than just meeting new people. maybe i ought to give it a try and see if i can get any result, but i won’t try to date someone from there because i don’t trust online dating. i prefer meeting a person face to face. physical appearance is more powerful than hiding behind the computer.
okay, this is a lyric that I’ve written some days ago, and i thought maybe i should put it out there so people can check it out. i thank this election year because it has inspired a lot of people. okay, here it goes:
A little bit about me, I’m originally from Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo), and I’ve lived here in the States for 7 years now. My original talent was art and design, but two and a half years ago, I discovered my skills in music. Since then, I’ve been mixing and creating music. So far, there are more than 300 tracks that I’ve made, including experimental ones.
Here some bands that I think have influenced me :
first, my favorite band, A-ha. Then: Depeche Mode, Madonna, Whitesnake, Scorpions, Dead or Alive, The Cure, Michael Jackson, New Order, Chicago, The Cars, Megadeth, Pet Shop Boys, Journey, Aerosmith, AC/DC, and all other 80’s artists.
