This is our time, this is our fight.

As it has been revealed since yesterday evening, Senator Barack Obama has made it to the nominations of becoming the possible next President of the United States. I've been reading the comments ranging from pure pride and joy to the bitching and bitterness from all sides, but on a personal note I am definitely overjoyed with this result and hopefully, after everything has settled down over who we wanted as the democratic nominee, we can focus on what's really important here, and that's which person, Obama or McCain, is a better representative in this presidential race to become leader of this entire nation.

I don't normally discuss politics here for various reasons, but this is such an important thing that it would be ridiculous not to announce it, even though I'm sure everyone's heard about it already anyway.

Also I'm choosing not to get further involved with the Jared rumors other than what I've been hearing because that is their personal life and they should do whatever they choose to without fans hovering over their every little move they make. Privacy, I respect it and so should other fans. But hey, that's just my opinion.

The thing with politics is that it's quite a fickle thing to get into, the same with religion with some people. You can have a nice friendship with someone but once you get into political debates it can become nasty if you're both of different parties or have different views, and sometimes I feel like I might drive people away based on my views or what I say. IDK, it's a touchy subject that I sometimes feel awkward getting into because I'd rather not get into a bitchfight over who is a better candidate, who has the more experience and whatnot.

But aside from that, politics do intrigue me because this is what our society is made up on. Government, law, politics, etc. Without it, where would we be? So I'm scared but fascinated at the same time. Is that weird? Heh.
