title: I Love You and Buddha Too by Mason Jennings

i heart that song. so very much.

so today has been one of those days. today was a day when i was so hopeful i could haven cried. having just recently become a double major i've been nervous about this endeavor but today i couldn't be more excited. i resent when people tell me i'm idealistic because i'm young because if not me, then who? i used to argue with my dad about this all the time. i don't think it matters that my hopes may be unachievable. if no one had ideal what would be the point in living? if everyone truly believed that nothing in this world could change wouldn't we all commit suicide? i forget the exact quote but jon foreman once said if you go around believe everything is fine you're not being truthful, but if you believe nothing can be fixed you'll commit suicide. somewhere between pure optimism and pure pessimism is honesty. i want to believe things can be different.

on another note, i'm sick and tired of people complaining about obama. true, i'm not too happy with him at the moment, but i don't think that gives them the write to call him a marxist. that is simply not true.

i guess i don't have much to say. i'm just feeling the itch to do something amazing and i had to let off some of my liberal steam. having a republican roommate can be torture sometimes, especially when she begins most statements with "well i'm catholic so i believe..." *sigh* if only people would think for themselves.

Okay, so no agenda or "read my blog" comments here. I just wanted to leave you a note and let you know how much I appreciate reading your blog. From one idealistic young person to another, I think you're on the right track.
