Illusion of Words

Day of Remembrance (and day after election)

Kind of weird, talking to a twelve-year-old while digging at the stubborn grass. 12 seems like a thousand years away - am I really that old? But it was pretty interesting, the kid wasn’t all that of a kid, but quite mature. In a way. How was I like at 12? I can’t really remember. Those years seem to be shrouded in a mist. Anyway, we used small spades and attacked the soil, hacking away at the grass roots that won’t seem to come out. It was supposed to be the start of a foot-wide path in the garden.

Good to be able to help. That’s part of the American culture, isn’t it? Helping people and doing community projects.

And of course, today marks a new beginning. Well, not quite so yet, but then there’s Obama, and I hope that America’s future will be brighter than ever, although I’m inclined to believe that the opposite will happen. I get a bit tired of all this politics talk. The world has been dissecting this election for months, and will be dissecting it for months after. But watch this video. It’s pretty awesome. I wonder what will happen if it came true…
