Please spread the word, reblog whatever...

itsbedtime:

If you know anyone in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Florida, Virginia, or North Carolina and you think they will vote For Barack Obama please send them a text, an email, or a call (anything). Make sure they realize how important their vote truly is. Last election the RNC brought a serious effort in the last 2 days and the actual election with a “ground game” that brought out a giant republican turnout that was not expected. Lets not get caught off guard again.

My fellow Dems please do not think this “Is in the bag”. If you can help in anyway even just a quick email to your Aunt in Philly (I will be emailing her after this) take the couple minutes. It could alter the course of our country and the world.

dear childhood friend Geo Wyeth/Novice Theory performing ‘About The Dream’ on the BBC’s Later with Jools Holland

Geo (formerly Georgia) and I met the summer after our sophomore year of high school while studying at North Carolina School of the Arts. We spent the summer playing guitar, singing Ani Difranco and Ben Folds Five at the tops of our lungs and losing ourselves in our crazy alter egos and never ending improv sketches. She was my closest friend for many years but unforeseen circumstances caused us to drift apart. I still really miss my old friend. (I’m getting teary just writing this…) And I know at heart Geo is the same person, but it’s an adjustment I’ve just never really become accustomed to. I feel as if he never really gave me a chance to…

We ran into each other outside a subway station in NY last May and shared a short and rushed reunion. I was heading to a comedy performance in Brooklyn and he was on his way to mend an argument with his girlfriend. It was exciting and heartbreaking all at the same time. I really miss Georgia, but I also miss the man she has now become. Since then I’ve been following his musical success online (Google Novice Theory, he’s quite accomplished) and proudly sing along when his songs come across my ipod. I can’t even begin to tell you how proud I am of Geo. He’s an incredibly talented musician and I know it’s only a matter of time before he gains real critical acclaim. It still pains me that we aren’t close anymore but i wish him nothing but success and hope someday I can call him my closest friend again.

so this morning i waited in line for 2 hours in the “freezing” cold (alright, it’s only 58 degrees out but we’re spoiled) just to cast my vote. at first i was kicking myself for not bringing a magazine or a pair of headphones but talking to the other voters ended up being a lot more fun. there was so much excitement and positivity among the other voters. by the end of the wait we were cracking jokes like we’d been friends for years. it was so beautiful to see so many people from all walks of life, excited about this election and ready to make their voice heard. for the first time in my 4 years of living in miami, i was actually really proud to call myself a miami-dade resident. it was awesome.

This is the work in progress invite for our annual Holiday Shopping event. So far I’ve probably spent about 6 hours total working on it and I’m still not done! And about 2 of those hours were spent just perfecting the bow (which is my favorite part). I chose gold to keep it neutral in terms of holiday affiliations but I really think it adds an elegance to the invite that I hadn’t anticipated. I love how it looks so far, what do you think?
