SKSD Reading is Finally Posted!

(1:13 PM PST)
Holy crap, guys, you have no idea how much of an arduous process it was for me to make this video. I actually first worked on this from November 9 to November 12, though a virus prevented VideoPad from working correctly. So I got that cleared up, and I tried again. Since the virus afflicted the project file I was working off of (so much so that it didn't register as a valid project file), I decided to start again from scratch. So hours and hours of painstaking edits later, I finally got it all done, and I threw it all together in Movie Maker. The video exported overnight, so all I had to do was just come back when I woke up and post it to YouTube.

Game, set, and match. I win.

Anyway, this video features a reading my friends and I did on Skype. We read KexAndy100's latest "story," and...well, why don't you see the video for yourself? I've hyped it up enough already.

That's about it for today, folks. Take care. :)

My Thoughts on the 2016 Election

So the election happened last night. The people voted, the votes were counted, and even though Clinton got the popular vote compared to Trump (59,680,035 votes to 59,479,278 votes), Trump received 306 electoral votes, while Clinton received 232.

This isn't the first time this has happened (it happened in 2000 with Bush and Gore), but I know it's come as a shock to many people. I know many people out there are afraid of what Trump will do in office, now that he's the new president-elect, and I can understand why; several media outlets have not been kind to him, and I'm well aware that he's said things that I don't agree with. In fact, personally, I would've preferred Sanders to be our next president instead of Trump.

Here's the thing, though; no matter who would've been elected, they still would've just been a president. We have such things as checks and balances to ensure no one in the government has all the power. There's not going to be a day when all that will suddenly go away just because one person was elected president. They will simply come into office, do what they can, and then another election will roll on by. Besides, no candidate in any election is going to be what's best for everyone in the country. There's no such thing as a perfect politician; there's only people, and people are not infallible.

I'm not saying I'm happy with the results of this election, but I'm not upset by them either. All I'm saying is that, even though we don't know what the future holds until we get there, the last thing we should do is live in fear of it. I understand where the fear resides, but I am here to say it's going to be okay; this is just another election, and this is just another president. Only time will tell where things will go from here.
