Finally, it's only a day away.
Both the United States of America and the entire world are on the brink of history, with President-elect Barrack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden talking office tomorrow morning.
Obama has done an incredible job in convincing the country that he's the right man to be America's Commander-in-Chief, and lets hope he truly is. Signs, so far, point to a very likely and trustworthy 'yes.'
With the biggest inauguration ceremony in American history to boot, along with the mutual cooperation of Republicans and Democrats alike due to Obama's efforts to erase racial, political, religous, and ethnic boundaries, there is no possible way tomorrow won't be one of the most historical moments in modern history, if not history in its entirety.
Honestly, I believe Obama will be the greatest president America has ever had, providing he's not assasinated by Californian skinheads or members of the Klu Klutz Klan.
He has an aura of honesty, trust, and understanding that absolutley no other American president has ever had before him, along with an interesting background including the fact that he is directly half-Kenyan, and that he was born and raised in Hawaii as opposed to the American mainland until they moved to Thailand for a chunk of his childhood.
Obama travelled alot as a child, and due to this he gained a natural sense and understanding of international affairs, which will certainly help him with his job as commander-in-chief, most notably with countries such as Russia and China which both show very slight political hostilities towards the United States, and historically always have (mainly, we're looking at you, Mister Former-Soviet-Union and president who is an ex-KGB agent.)
I hope that someday, I to may be able to dabble in politics myself. I have a feeling I woulden't be half bad at it.

The world is meaningless,
there is no God or gods, there are no morals, the universe is not moving inexorably towards any higher purpose.
All meaning is man-made, so make your own, and make it well.
Do not treat life as a way to pass the time until you die.
Do not try to "find yourself", you must make yourself.
Choose what you want to find meaningful and live, create, love, hate, cry, destroy, fight and die for it.
Do not let your life and your values and your actions slip easily into any mold, other that that which you create for yourself, and say with conviction, "This is who I make myself".
Do not give in to hope.
Remember that nothing you do has any significance beyond that with which you imbue it.
Whatever you do, do it for its own sake.
When the universe looks on with indifference, laugh, and shout back, "Fuck You!".
Rembember that to fight meaninglessness is futile, but fight anyway, in spite of and because of its futility.
The world may be empty of meaning, but it is a blank canvas on which to paint meanings of your own.
Live deliberately. You are free.
