I will not be angry.
I will not be scared.
I believe in love
I am loved and I am in love.
Love conquers all.
Love will guide me.
I am thirty-six and have voted in four presidential elections. Three have won the popular vote, one won the electoral vote and became president. One vote was for Nader. If you must know.
I voted for Clinton, I live in a blue state and I am upset. I did my part. I didn't do enough...more later.
I couldn't sleep on Election Night. The gloom looked like ink running down a page. Feelings do interesting things to humans. I'm busy with work. Grateful that I don't have time to think and feel. I watched stand-up clips. It made me feel better. I listened to Louis C.K., Paul Rodriguez and George Lopez. I listened to talk show hosts Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert. I listened to a live podcast conducted during Election night - We Watch Wrestling #167. I listened to Renaissance Man Russell Brand on Trews (E372).
I'm going to knit the longest scarf in history as my protest. I'm protesting sadness. I'm reading a book and I don't understand what is going on. I'm protesting my incompetence concerning poetic fantasy.
This tweet made me laugh:

Nov 9 (2016) In very sad times, like today, I always find comfort in the fact that we'll all be dead soon & none of this will matter. You're welcome :)

You can't copy a tweet about death and then put up the suicide prevention number. Well, I did. Sorry. You can stick this somewhere in the middle.

What I've learned so far tonight: America is WAAAAAAAAY more sexist than it is racist. And it's pretty fucking racist. #ElectionNight

Initially I was going to write -
Go F- yourself.
F- this noise.
F- the B.S.*
F- that Puto.**
* A 311 song.
** Big ups Señor George Lopez.
Instead I put that thing about not being angry and love. I despise swearing so this is a one-time deal.

Find some Joy and radiate it.
I will survive this.
