[blogs] fuck city

New FC Blog from Andy

obama won. i cant even put into words how this makes me feel. the emotions that im feeling are insane. it doesnt even make sense or truly register, the immensity of this event. it honestly feels like a weight has been lifted. like a new day is here. i never thought we would have a black president. i never felt like we'd have a president that i kind of cared about. the insanity that i experienced on the streets of nyc, around union square and angels and kings, it was just madness. everyone on earth seemed to have been ignited. it was electric, and it transmitted like a disease. and im an anarchist, so ultimately i dont believe it really changes anything, or makes a difference. but as someone who grew up in this system, and this culture, its still insane to think about a black president.

and it was just surreal to see that many people give a shit. as fucked as everything is, and it is fucked, and i want it all to burn...this is kind of cool. this is a remember where you were moment. and i will always remember. i was eating with my friend danielle at red bamboo when this dude runs in and says 'he did it! he got 281 electoral votes'. it just didnt seem possible. then people started running down the street, with pots and pans clanging, and shouting and chanting. just getting caught up in that, even if its total bullshit, and totally false hope and nothing will change, it was a great night either way. im glad i was a part of it.

but this whole thing still needs to come down. civicide. the cities will burn, and the natural world will grow back. knowing that it is still here, and will be for a while longer, not for a lack of alot of good people fighting back, it is refreshing to see this. and it is important to do what you can with what we have. voting for one of two pieces of fabric from the same cloth of civilization isnt doing much....if anything. but the things that do really affect people; the laws and social restrictions and choices that get taken every year...it is worth voting to protect what we can of those within this shit. i think so, at least. i just dont know sometimes. it feels so hopeless at times. but i know i didnt want sarah palin. that much i knew.
