| Rats don't eat daisies

I was at the library last night, and at around 8:45 pm, I saw this piece of news on Yahoo.

Obama has officially won the Democratic nomination. Yeah.

I'm glad that it's over, but I still feel a degree of sorrow for Clinton's loss. Unlike some bandwagon-hopping n00bs, I've supported Clinton 100% of the way, with no regrets. However, these last few weeks have opened my eyes to the fact that Clinton was fast approaching the end of the road. I still believe Clinton is the better candidate. But also unlike some n00bs who selfishly vowed to switch their votes to McCain if their candidate lost, I am whole-heartedly resolved to throw my support behind Obama now. We really can't afford to have any more division within the party. Especially since America would go to hell, figuratively speaking, if McCain were elected (for which my contingency plan would be to immediately move to Canada).

Again, I'm glad the struggle is over. But the "Dream Team"? Would Obama and Clinton be prepared to work together? Clinton certainly is open to the idea. But is Obama?

Imagine what it could do. It could completely unify the country.

In other news, I woke up at 9:45 am today. My first class began at 9:05. Oh shit, thought I, rubbing sleepers from my eyes. Oh fucking shit, thought I, realizing with a jolt that Father Dear was in the city taking Brother Dear to the clinic. But hey, I then marveled with inordinate cheerfulness, I got six hours of sleep. I later picked up a daisy at the side of the road while making the treacherous 45-minute walk to school.
