A Different Thanksgivng

Thanksgiving is near and it is the time that my whole family come together and spend time with one another. it has been like that since before i was born. Every year, we would all go to my grandmothers house and basically eat, and laugh with one another. I always looked forward to going there every year. But this year is going to be different and when i mean diferent, our Thanksgiving has totally changed due to the passing of my grandmother this passed April. With the passing of my grandmother, it meant that her house was up for sell.
With Thanksgiving around the corner it meant that my family had to choose a different house to celebrate at. My house was choosen. as my mom called the family to let them know the plans, one of my family members decided that they were not going to show up because it wasnt going to be the same. Now i know that the passing of my grandmother hurt that person bad, but it hurt everyone else as well. We all have to make the changed and i believe that we should make the changed together. Being around family members especially with this situation is the best way, i believe, to move on in life when something like this happens. I miss my grandmother so so very much and i do not think that she would want her family not to come together on this holiday just because she is not with us anymore. To me, I fell like that its just plan selfiness of that person who doesnt want to come. What im hoping is that this person will stop and realize what mistake that will be made if the desicion is not to come.

So today i was browsing around the internet and I ran into a ridiculous story about president Barack Obamas wife, Michelle Obama. Basically the article was about what Mrs. Obama wore on the night of the election when Mr. Obama was giving his acceptance speech. The article which was from msn, was critizing what she choose to wear. The article said what she wore was a BOLD choice and that it was not right to wear for that occasion. When i read this, the question that popped into my mind is, why do people care what someone else wears?
I believe that people in this society have nothing else better to do then to critize other people. The night was suppose to be about Obama and the change that was happening for America. Focusing on what they wore especiially what Michelle wore has nothing to do with what that night meant. People always have to find something wrong with other people to make them feel better. This in not the first time that has happened either. It also happened when Sarah Palins daughter was exposed for being pregnant so young.
Michelles dress sand Sarah palins daughter were both critized and it was not necessary because it had nopthing to do with the politics. People need to stop critizing others because they are not living thier lives. I just think it sucks because if you were in their place being critized and the whole world reading about it, how would you feel? I dont know, i just think that we need to stop focusing on unecessary things and start focusing on things that matter like um, the economy!

A Change Has Finally Come!

Last night, as so many were, my mom and I were watching the 2008 presidential election. We were so eager to find out if Obama was going to be our first African American president. As soon as we found out that Obama had won the states of Pennsylvania and Ohio, my mom and I knew he was was going to be our president!
Obama being our president is a big change for our Americans. but another change that i noticed was that the House of represenataives also went for a big change. Before last night it was all republicans that had the seats but after last night election, democrats had the majority. That tells everybody a lot. Americans are tired of the same thing in the white house and the House of representatives. The same people, the rebulicans, have been in the white house for so long and from my point of view, it feels like Ameriacans were put in these conditions we are now in because of them. With Obama in as president, I feel like something is going to be done . I know that Obama will not neglect people, such as our current president has done, and will do everything in his power to fix America because America right now is in a bad position. With this change, i feel like people have realized and step up to have their voice heard. They were heard because Obama swept Mccain.
This is just my view of the election, what do you think?
