1. A special election blog post, here we go...
2. Home of Michael Jordan, home of Kanye West, home of Bill Murray and yes, home of your newly elected president Barack Obama, Chicago is for the winners. Chi-Town, stand the 'f' up! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
   
3. Since I am in Rome right now, it was just all night event for us and it was just insane...since we get CNN in our apartment just about everybody decided to come through to our apartment and lot of dudes were staying up all night to see the voting count. I missed the most of tally part because I had to go to bed but got up just right to watch his acceptance speech. Isn't this guy knows how to talk or what? Every time he steps on behind the podium, he just tops the speech that he gave before. I'm already excited about inauguration speech. 'We are United States of America', that's the best part. Some of kids in our apartment got choked up, I didn't cry but rather, I was so joyfully shocked and I felt the goosebumps running through my body. It was so awesome. Barack is the swagger king. It's not just a speech that makes him the swagger king...
4. 338-159, 338-159, 338-159...just to make sure that we ain't gotta go through all that recount madness, he CRUSHED him. 338????? Are you kidding me?
5. It doesn't matter who you are, we are all Americans. This was my first election and this was only reason that I wanted to be naturalized couple years ago so that I can be part of this country's democratic process. Thought of my vote actually counted to have a new president that I WANTED in the office was a crazy feeling. I can't describe it, really. I'm so proud that I casted my ballot. I may feel like I'm never American enough because of my ethnic background and my race (trust me, you do feel that if you are in my situation) but my vote counted just like yours did and that was so awesome. That I was in part of make up of America. It was a thrilling moment. Megatrons, Decepticons, American League, National League...ish don't matter. We are all Americans and all we wanted and want is for us to get better. I have to admit that lot of this was a bit of circus but at the end, I realized what America is all about, at least for a little bit. I'm proud of myself for exercising my rights like I did today and you should, too if you went out and voted. Doesn't matter who you voted for but fact is you made your voice heard.
   
6. Next 4 years going to be pretty good. we can make it happen. YES, WE CAN.
7. Anderson Cooper looks so damn sexy right now and Wolf Blitzer's beard looks like a madman's festival. If I see Judy Woodruff and Jim Lehrer right now, I don't think I would make it through the day. I'll probably die in an euphoria.
   
8. California, you kinda suck.
