Are You Pressed or Nah?

Recap of my week after the election.

Are You Pressed or Nah?
http://presidentialpolls-2016.com/us-elections-2016/

With the recent election results, the world is in disbelief. It's very disappointing that people didn't vote because they didn't like either candidate, they felt their vote didn't count or were plain lazy. Now that their president has the highest office in the land, let's break this thing down.

First, before Trump can repeal any law Obama put into effect, it goes through a chain of command. Just because Republicans run the House and Senate now, the majority has to agree. Some of you may be too young to remember this, but when President Bush was in office and the Republicans ran the House and Senate, Democrat's gave them a run for their money. But I'm very disappointed in the fact that Trump supporters are pressed, which means angry and will not give other parties respect.

This past week I've had to bite my tongue because I will not come off my throne to address petty peasants. Let's make one thing crystal clear, I'm entitled to my opinion and so is everyone else. But if you attack me over a general post that didn't have anything or state your name personal, why do you feel the need to tag me? I have never in my entire social media experience had to reply to so many ignorant people who feel the need justify their racist and bias opinions. I commend one of my new friends on my social media pages who had a very intellectual conversation with me about this whole election. He stated that people need to do their research themselves and look past color and gender and look at the big picture that neither one was a great choice but who was more qualified to do the job. Also, if you didn't vote just because that's ridiculous. It seems to me that the people who make the most noise are the ones who are protesting. Now what perplexes me is you didn't have time to vote, but if you have time to block city streets, set trees on fire or stand in front of Trump Tower, then you should've had time to vote.

In life we tend to listen to respond, not to hear. And at the rate that we are going the end is very near if we don't get our act together real soon and open our eyes.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
