No no, not the leaves changing colors or frantic pre-Christmas shopping and bargain hunting. I'm talking about voting time people. Nothing like having your favorite TV shows and radio broadcasts interrupted with commercials of one guy dragging another guy's name through the mud. I mean seriously, if people's voting was based off who could talk the best shit, I would be President of the Universe by now. Instead of talking about bad things the other guy is doing, has done, probably wants to do...blah blah blah...Why not take the time to tell people all the right you're going to do? Make me want to vote for you cause I like you, not because the other guy got caught touching himself in public back in '86.
I don't vote. I don't care if you don't vote. The only thing that bothers me is people who DO vote, but don't educate themselves first. I still feel like some people vote just so they can get that stupid button or little sticker that says 'I Voted' and show it off around town. That is worse than going to church just to be seen...which is a whole other subject that will rear its controversial head one day.
Which actually is the reason that I don't vote, I don't feel like I am educated enough on current situations to make the correct decision. (Except for that douche on MTV, I know enough not to vote for him) I would rather NOT vote than vote for something I know nothing about. Doesn't mean I don't care about what's going on in the world today, just means I haven't taken the time to do the correct research on the topics. Call me lazy or stupid if you would like, it doesn't bother me at all.
Do I need to? Yes. Will I one day? Yes. Do I care what your opinion is about my voting status? About as much as I care about what kind of hair products you use. I am going to make a conscious effort to start educating myself on a political level here very soon. Getting married soon and starting a family, only seems right.
So if you are one of the people getting out of bed early today, using your lunch break or just don't have shit to do AND happen to go vote - Good for you. Just hope you're using your voice for the right reasons. And if you're a person voting for the wrong reasons, I hope your get a paper cut between your fingers at some point today, cause that hurts like a bitch.
Happy voting bitches...
PS - Election Day still sounds waaaaay too close to Erection Day, which I do believe they celebrate in Europe.
