President and Negativity

I didn't even acknowledge in this blog the fact that Barack Hussein Obama is our new President. We were in school during the oath, and I got to see Obama get sworn in live on TV. It was an honor. Everyone made fun of me all day long because I was so excited about it. None of the kids in my school seem to realize how big of a deal this is. We read a fascinating article in Civics about how the White House was built by slaves, and how now we'll have a black president living there. This is so incredible because it goes to show just how far we've come as both Americans and people in general. I have high hopes for Obama, real high hopes. I have faith that he can help us, and I trust him. I'm going to keep this positive outlook until given a reason not to.

Also, I wanted to mention how ridiculous things are getting with me, Amanda, Andy and Robbie. I don't care for negativity, at all. I don't like saying mean things behind people's backs, I don't wish death on other people, nothing like that. Andy and Robbie got into a huge argument today and they both wished death on each other and...well, I snapped. I can't handle all this anymore. I'm sick of everyone not accepting that change can be a grand thing. I'm sick of no one caring about how others feel. I'm sick of people not appreciating what they have. Most of all though, I just wish everyone would stop their hatefulness. I'm so tired of it! I can't be around this much negativity! I don't plan on talking to them all for a while, so they hopefully see my point. I don't want them dragging me into the latest gossip or the latest arguments anymore. Their hate is just a way to cover up their insecurities, and it's a way to feel powerful. I don't care for people like that. Maybe they'll see that.
