Semisi Fahiua, take it easy!

Last week I found out that a really good friend of mine passed away. Dude, he's a year older than me. His parents and my parents were one of the first one's here in Sacramento and have been best friends forever. He was like my brother, looking out for me, watching over me. I remember a bunch of videos and pictures w/us, too. He was out in New Zealand, and got really sick. He pops went out there to bring him back. I think the funeral will be next week. It hasn't hit me yet, as most deaths don't, until I see the casket. I don't know if I'm ready for this funeral. It's too close to home, it's too...just way too close. He was about the same age as me...he was like my brother. Man, take it easy Semisi, and tell my grandma I miss her.

baROCKED THE VOTE! Yes, Late...but oh well!

We so rocked the vote on Tuesday. I took my niece with me. She's hella cute. She said, where are we going? And I told her we're going to vote, and she asked who're you gonna vote for. I said, Barack Obama, and she said, NO, vote for my auntie! It was way cute. So we're getting ready to head out the door and she said, can I take my Barack Obama paper? And I said sure. She walked in the polling place w/her Barack Obama paper, it was too cute. Then we went to Jack in the Box for lunch and someone is reading a newspaper w/Obama and McCain and she said, LOOK! It's Barack Obama! And I tried to tell her who John McCain was, and she couldn't grasp it.

I just think it's simply amazing how interested the kids are in the election. Even though they may not fully understand all that's happening, just the smallest amount of interest gives me hope. I thought it was pretty cool that the lady gave her a sticker, that way I didn't have to steal one.

I guess I'm happy w/the results of the election, although the results of the Propositions aren't sitting too well with me. I can see why some people vote the way they vote, but I can't stand people who vote the way someone tells them to vote. Bah...but that's just me. I hope everyone's having a great week! I'm so glad it's almost over!

Lina at the Polling Place w/her sticker and lollipop! They were so nice!

We both got stickers! Swear!
