This will be the first presidential election in which I can vote, although I did volunteer and campaign for Kerry in 2004, and for Dean in the '04 primaries. I've been an opinionated and political person for as long as I can remember and never let my inability to vote deter me from supporting the candidates with whom I agreed. And, of course I'll be voting for Obama.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
