i just had to say... i find this fervor for obama downright touching.
of course, there's palin fervor too.
i guess you could say the obama stuff is touching because i UNDERTAND IT.
with so many politicians, i feel like they are just there for the power. and whether or not you agree with his positions, i really do feel like obama is in this whole circus because he wants to make a difference.
maybe i'm gullible, but maybe i'm right - and what a nice idea THAT is.
Apparently I have a bum hard drive.. They are sending me a new one. I hope very much for you that you have a good one! This whole computer drama has SUCKED ASS. And it's still not over.
And I did the paper - and only had to stay up til 4 to do it! I walk dogs at 9. :\
I'm Stacey. I'm a 31(!)-year-old Wisconsin girl living in sunny South Florida. The highlights in my life are my lovely boyfriend, my aloof cats, my adorable/adoring stepdogs, my two lumbering tortoises, select family members, being outside, being underwater, taking pictures, yadda yadda. Stay tuned for lots of babbling!
A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and he spent much of his time exploring the seashore.
One day the boy learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.
When the tide went out, he went down to the beach, began picking up the stranded starfish, and tossing them back into the ocean.
An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what the boy was doing. Seeing the man's quizzical expression, the boy paused as he approached. "I'm saving the starfish!" the boy proudly declared.
When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, young man, but if you look down the beach, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look up the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."
The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up another starfish, tossed it out into the ocean, and said: "Well, I sure made a difference for that one!"
