gotta start making changes.

If it is possible to be too open-minded, I'd be the first one to nominate myself for that label.  Although usually associated with positivity, being too open-minded can also have its pitfalls.  I long to be passionate about something, to have a set of strong core ideals-- I want to fight for something I truly believe in.  I am too easily convinced, I always see more than one side, I'm indecisive.  

This is especially troublesome when it comes time for a presidential election.

I will admit that the Obama "hype" initially intrigued me enough for me to claim myself as one of his supporters.  Then I realized that having blind faith in a presidential candidate wasn't the smartest thing to do.  I strived to seek the knowledge that would give me the ability to cast a more educated vote.  I began finding out that I didn't agree with some of Obama's stances on particular issues, namely on the economy and healthcare.  The majority of his ideals coincided with mine, but the realist in me began questioning him as well. 

But I digress.

Anyway, does anybody else think that Tupac wrote the song "CHANGEs" specifically for Obama?

"And although it seems heaven sent, we ain't ready to see a black president"

"We gotta make a change, It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes, let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live, and let's change the way we treat each other. you see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do what we gotta do, to survive"
