CNN is trying to make some different scenarios sound
interesting by talking about states like Oregon and rattling off a bunch of
numbers. Did I mention the people discussing these fake scenarios in which
Obama could possibly not win are old dudes in suits? BORING.
But I went and voted tonight. It wasn’t easy either. Is the
laziness of my never getting around to updating my voter registration address
to Hickory Hills from Lemont cancelled out by the fact that I, yet again, drove
all the way to Lemont to vote? In my defense, I totally forgot there was an
election going on. There were no clues, I generally spend all my free time
watching TV, going on facebook, and trolling twitter, how was I supposed to
know??

Anyway, I really like going to vote in Lemont, because I’ve
asked around, and I’m pretty sure the Witkowski center has the best old man volunteer
sticker-passer-outer. I like to imagine each time someone finishes voting he
thinks to himself “my time to shine”. I also imagine he waits at home all year
with his calendar carefully marked with election days, and each day peels away
another page anxiously. On my way out I noticed a young girl walking in, and
was pleasantly surprised to see the youth vote in action!! I got ready to give
her a knowing nod, to say, I’m with you, fellow member of generation y. But
then it was my sister. So I of course avoided eye contact all together and
waiting until she was out of sight, so I could siphon her gas like usual.
I love voting, the civic duty, exercising my right as an American
citizen, my chance to imagine my voice is being heard, and the opportunity to
vote ‘no’ on every presiding judge, EVERY TIME! Haha, hilarious, next time I’m
standing in front of one, I’m telling him (or her, like those lady judges on tv)
“Hey, I voted no on you, asshole!”
I know, you’re all wondering who I voted for. Obama? Romney?
It’s not really your damn business, but…..Neither!!! Illinois isn’t a swing
state, stupids! WOOO! Libertarian party!!!!!!
