the most exciting american event i have ever seen

(Posted to the www.myspace.com/palmerston at about 7pm, 11/4/08)

...So,
After months of build-up,
Today,
Tonight is the night to elect a new American leader.

In LA, its a beautiful, stormy autumn evening, and its about to rain...

All across the country,
Men and Women,
Brothers and Sisters gather
To make their own voice heard
Together.

I've observed quite a few elections in my quarter-century or so, of life so far, and I have NEVER seen anything quite like this.

Politics never really interested me, all that much, but I do love to see fellow human beings, passionately expressing their beliefs...

And regardless of the result of this event,
What's obvious is how much more important this election seems to be, than any election in history, really.

Its incredibly fascinating.

AMERICANS-
WE STAND, AWAKE,
TO WITNESS A MONUMENTAL OCCURENCE, THAT WILL BE REMEMBERED AS A GREAT MOMENT IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY.

I feel it necessary to remind anyone who may have forgotten, of that fact.

The sky over Los Angeles,
Prepares to open up,
And cleanse us all of our confusing past.
The aftermath
Will prove to be
The way we make it through,
Into the future,
...Where we will dance.

Take a moment,
Soak it in,
Build this memory with marble and gold.

No matter who it is that wins this crazy thing,
We are all here to be a part of a big moment in American History.

Have fun

It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining here and it was strangely warm. I took my daughter to the polling place with me. I put the pencil in her hand and together we cast out vote. The feeling of what I had just done was indescribable. It was a radiant moment. We step out of the shackles of our past and into the light. We begin a new chapter. See you in Sikeston in a few weeks French! Much Love.
