No title for this one, please.

End of the semester stress is starting to mount on me. I'm in the middle of reading a book for pleasure, and I hope to write a review for that when I'm finished. I find it hard to read anything for pleasure when after I'm done reading the assigned readings from my books for school I always end up falling asleep. This actually just happened, and I was awaken by my mother yelling at me. Little does she know I have a jug of Bacardi and Patron in my car, ready to be consumed for tonight and Saturday night activites. I'm quite pissed off she woke me up, but I guess now I can finish my homework, ignore my research projects until Friday night, and do my "I get shit-faced drunk, how do you handle stress?" impersenation.
I've been wanting to write, but have had no time or no drive to. It's not that I have the dreaded writer's block, it's just that I'm actually afarid to speak my mind now. (When the hell did this happen?)
But I will say this.
John Dewey believed that morals can be changed when they didn't serve a purpose to society. He believed in real consequences and effects. The real here, and now is something he also believed in. "As things change, knowledge arises." I hate it when people say "change is bad. I'm sick of hearing about change." You are closed-minded. This country NEEDS to change. It will change for the better (hopefully) but it's going to need your help. If you people can't look past the color of his skin and his middle name of our upcomnig president, when he was named after his Dad, then get the hell out of the country. We don't need you racist ignorant people who don't think a "black dude" should be in the white house. Maybe you don't want change because it brings knowledge, and knowledge is something you fear because it brings you furthur away from this apparent crackpot in the sky.
I was looking at the TIME magazine commemorative issue for Barack, and when they showed 4 states that were battle ground states (Montana, Missouri, Indiana, and North Carolina) all of the counties that had major cities in those states (excluding Jefferson City) were blue. A majority of the counties that were rural were red. A few counties that were red since 1996 in such states as Colorado, Ohio and Virginia have turned blue. People seem to want change, since this asshole who somehow got elected in 2000 and re-elected in 2004 has turned this country upside-down. 1.20.09 will be an awesome day that's for sure. And even though I'm sure I'll be in school and freezing cold I'll still have a smile on my face because the 43rd president has packed his bags and gotten the hell out of the white house.
I feel like my ranting has gone too long, and that I need to finish writing this paper for my postcolonialism class, so I can take a shower and leave my Mom for the night. I also just have gotten another tattoo idea, which I will probably get in a few weeks.
