Barack Obama and I

I predicted a glorious future for Barack Obama way back when in 2004 when he got elected to Senate. I have been a big fan of him ever since. Today I find myself liking him even more. Here's what Rebecca Mead wrote about him in The New Yorker:

"In his first book, “Dreams from My Father,” Barack Obama described the marijuana that he smoked as a young man as “something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory.”

Which, ironically, is EXACTLY how I felt this morning after celebrating my friend Stella's birthday last night. Being tired of making decisions at work ALL DAY LONG, I was indecisive about what would be the best drink for me and happily took recommendations. I drank dry martinis only to follow them up with mojitos, which, in turn, were topped off with martini biancos and sips of my husband's beer.

My landscape was indeed very much flattened this morning. And my memory was blurry as hell.

My dearest Barack Obama, I would totally vote for you if I could. I know you would represent me well.
