ELECTION 2009

DECEMBER 12 2009

A day I will never forget.

Now, part of the reason it took me so long to update was the fact that I was taking time to deal with the loss of the election. Many people don't realize this, but in many ways the loss of the election was like a death in the family. The death of a dream, The death of one potential future, and the death of a years hard work. I have gone through a myriad of emotions, but it was all worth it. We met some amazing people along the way as well as getting to know Houston better. My father gave up everything for a shot at becoming Mayor, and I am so proud of him. He ran his campaign with honor and dignity. He is a hero to me. Unfortunately I cannot go into too much detail on here, but many media outlets screwed him. A lot of mistruths were spread, and I urge you to not believe everything you hear. This process has opened my eyes to how ugly the world of politics can be. I will also think twice before believing the new big celebrity rumor I hear.

For the record, Perez Hilton, as did a lot of National media outlets, got some of the facts wrong because they got their news secondhand. For starters, my dad was NOT a conservative candidate. Also the margin of victory was not 53%. The vote was 53% to 47%, only a 6% difference. It was a very close race, with record low voter turnout, coupled with a smear campaign launched against my father. My father is NOT a homophobe and did not accept endorsements based on his opponent's sexuality rather than his ability to lead. I feel like the biased media felt a need to create an enemy to sell papers and get ratings (ABC 13 and Houston Chronicle) due to the fact that both candidates were very similar politically.  It is important that I note that not all of the news media is so biased.  I applaud Isaiah Carey with Fox News and Lee McGuire with Channel 11 along with a few others for their unbiased reporting. I put this out there only to clear some things up. My father graciously accepted defeat, and congratulates Ms. Parker.

We are now in January of a new year, and oh my God what a year 2009 was.

NEW YEARS

I spent New Years in Houston with my good friend Reema at a House Party. Reema has some great friends, and I had a really good time. To top it off, somehow I did not have a hangover the next day. If you ask me, I think that's a sign that 2010 is gonna be a pretty good year.


GALVESTON

I had gone to Galveston for the previous week with my family, and we had a great time in our beach house. I love the Ocean. I feel like it has healing qualities, and there is nothing like going out to the beach to clear your head, and get back in tune with nature. This time was great for helping my family collectively heal the wounds of the loss of the Election.

CHRISTMAS

This had the potential to be one of the worst Christmas' ever due to the loss of the Election, but it was one of the best.  My family came together and we made great memories.
