Wow

Last night, I sat on the couch with my friends, and watched my country elect its first African American President. I watched my state join the blue column. I watched John Stewart call the election, and actually teared up. Things aren't great in America right now. And although I believe things can get better, I know it will be difficult. But for the first time in a long time, I felt two things last night. Pride in my country, and hope.
