Obama for America: A word from the President

Obama for America: A word from the President:

barackobama:



In which the President contributes a blog post to this Tumblr (really):



We’re three cities and 12 hours into our 48-hour marathon extravaganza fly-around tour—and I couldn’t ask for a better way to kick off the last few days of the last campaign I’ll ever run.


Being out here brings back so…





I’m not even American but I want to reblog Barack Obama.

hey, i know this is probably really random, but i was wondering if you had an old short story i could use to hand in at school, as i was supposed to do one and it was due way back in january.. i understand if you dont want to but the reason i am asking ins

Hii - I think it would be best if I didn’t do that sorry, mainly because I tend to keep my own stories completely to myself as they are too personal and related to me to be of any use to anyone, and secondly its probably not the best thing to do anyway. I feel for you - its difficult to do work/anything when you have problems going on outside and away from school, but I really can’t help in this case sorry. Maybe if you tell the school you are having problems? Either way, apologies that I can...

This is not unlike how I imagine the town in The Travelling Circus of Lacrimosa, just minus the snow. That moon and stars played a massive part in that story, evoking the appropriate atmosphere.

Nevermind, it already started getting notes, so it's all cool :)

Hii its up now! Sorry for the long delay - tumblr has been down for me all day, I was bereft and scared when every time I logged in, I got a blue screen of death and a “sorry for the inconvenience” notice. Grim. Thanks for submitting anyway, good luck and apologies once more for the delay :)

This year’s All Hallow’s Read posters. Spread the word, and share the love of reading!



I’m pretty sure no one reads my blog, BUT if someone does, and that someone comes to my bookstore (Eljay’s Books in Dormont) and they say “Hey Chris, I saw your tumblr, give me a horror book” I will let them pick out two of the $2.50 paperbacks (or I can pick them out) from the horror section. One to give to a friend, one to read for All Hallows Read....
