Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight, Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight

okay, maybe not.

But have you heard? I have DNC fever! SO when, at the last second of the speech tonight, when we heard the same fireworks that we saw on tv... we raced outside to see if we could see them as well as hear them. we couldn't. i had a Fivel moment and just had to remember that "It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky" seriously, i don't think i have ever seen that movie. and i most defintely never saw fivel goes west. is that even the same fivel? oh well.

ew, and upon watching the end of the speech again, i am glad we missed that terrible country music. here's a tip: at the end of any politician's speech that requires a song about america to be played at the end, think about how many songs about America are actually good songs. THEN, you have to subtract the songs that have already been used by political candidates in the past. then, run out of the room. i honestly think the only song left is "america" from west side story, and that song is all about sticking to your own kind. not so much the message we are looking for. and when i say "we" i mean democrats. Whiz! Bang! Just kidding folks! kinda.

you know how in other parts of the world, you are hated because you are a democrat? you think i am kidding? check out this douchebagnumerouno:



ANYWAYS, Neil and i went to the most amazing art exhibit today. it was only here for three days or so....just for the DNC. i don't think i could possibly explain it and do it justice. so here is the official website. and here is an article from sfgate.

The first painting we saw was not a part of the exhibit. or it was, but no is gonna buy it because it is painted on the gallery wall. i was blindsided by emotion. if you know me, you will probably chuckle at this because i cry a lot. but this was a new cry. no puppies being abandonded or moms dying. just the weight of how important these times are:
there was a contest. many entered but few won. most of the pieces are being auctioned on ebay with the proceeds going to obama's campaign.

hee hee!
and finally, Shepard Fairey's absolutely stunning piece that has been made famous by t-shirts such as my own. Check out the fancy BET reporter. He bought up a lot of the art he saw today.
This was not just a room full of bland portraits. this was peoples' hearts and hopes, all resting on one man. oh, and that man is not colbert, in case there was any confusion.


oh, and here is some art we saw outside of the gallery:
kinda not really on the same level. but still kinda funny.

okay, i've got to dnsleep it off.
please vote.
