VOTING

The day has (almost) arrived. The day where I get up, do a little stretch, put on a shirt with a not so distracting design (I need room for my 'I VOTED' sticker) and head out to one of my favorite places, the polling center. It's the one and only, ELECTION DAYY!!

This post will be short and sweet, and mostly to the point. I need everyone to go out and vote. All I ask of you fine people, is to get out there and exercise your right to have a say in this country's well being and future.

I just love to vote. I really, honestly get so excited about voting, that I cried during this year's primaries when I arrived at my polling center in Blacksburg, Virginia and they had CLOSED EARLY. I was so tired and upset, that I got back to my apt and cried to my roommates and to my father on the phone about not being able to vote. I hadn't even made up my mind about Hillary or Obama, but I just was horrified that they took away my right to vote. So maybe I'm being dramatic here, but who cares, so then when the only sliver of happiness left of my day was taken away from me when the release of 'Into the WIld' was delayed and I could not buy it to make myself forget about the voting outrage, I was grief-stricken.

SO enough about my sad stories, I am just asking you to get out there and vote. Otherwise I will not speak to you on this election day. But I guess if you just didn't register, that's a whole different ballgame. So if you're registered, then that means you need to VOTE.

peace, love and hope. (and happy voting to you all.)

and here's my not-so-hidden choice for whom I hope you're voting.
