man, i went to the John Kerry rally at the waterfront on friday...and let me tell you. it was awesome.  first of all, i was disappointed that i didn't get to see mr. dicaprio because i came after he spoke...but i for SURE was there for bon jovi (or long john bovi as hanna and i call 'em.) and that was cool.  this was one of the first times i've actually listened to a speaker and really cared a lot about it.  his wife, theresa heinz (go ketchup) kerry was jsut off the hook.  how far she's come, and how strong she is as a result of her past was really inspiring to me.  when big john finally took the mic, i was even MORE aware how the fact that this country needs to change and with john kerry as president...i think i'll be less fucking ashamed to be an american.  how promising is that? it felt so awesome to be in that crowd of 50,000 people.  like mrs. heinz kerry was saying...its beautiful that we live in a countrty where opposing political parties can co-exist and collaborate, we really take advantage of that.  the sad thing, is when people are so ignorant and unaware, that they wont even begin to accept the ideas and opinions of others.  anyways, it was an amazing experience
