Every Vote counts...

being a student of political science, I completely understand that. I know I will cast a vote in november, but I don't think that I will really feel like I am voting.

I'm not voting McCain, and I'm not voting Obama. I'm pulling the lever for the democrat, because, fundamentally I am a democrat - always have been and always will be. I'm not voting for either candidate though, as I don't really believe in either of them at this point.

I'm still casting my ballot, and I am still gonna pull the lever for Obama, but I'm not voting for either candidate, more for the party. that sucks.

Informed decision making...

I know who I will be voting for. It worries me though, that some folks will be making their decision without much information. All four of the Pres/VP candidates have public records. Three of the four are out on the campaign trail, offering snippets and interviews. The fourth has been secluded away, and the one interview she did offer was abysmal in terms of offering insight.

What does she stand for? What are her views? When will she give a speech that's not partly recycled from her acceptance speech or repeats the same damn line about stopping the bridge to nowhere? When will she stop being used to fill an arena for McCain and actually allowed to campaign on her own so people see the real Palin? Until she does, I fear people will make a decision on their vote without all the information.

The scary part about that is we can end up in a situation we couldn't get out of.

wow...so it's been a while...

since I blogged here. sorry about that. So, today, I'm at the gym, and I bring my umbrella, as it's supposed to be very rainy here. It's a good thing too, because as I exit the subway at the stop for the gym, it's raining. I pull out the umbrella and walk the few blocks to the gym. I get there, and of course, the umbrella is wet. I go to the locker room, and like so many other guys there, I put the umbrella on top of the lockers so as to not get my stuff wet. There are guys bags and shoes up there as well as some other umbrellas. I change and get to my workout. Long work out, and half an hour of cardio later I go back to the locker room to rinse off and change again to go home. My umbrella, along with a few others are gone. It's pouring out! POURING. I mean, really, is nothing sacred. You can't even leave your wet umbrella out to not get your clothes all wet and it gets stolen. What's up with that?

to the douche who stole my umbrella and forced me to walk to the subway and get soaked...what comes around goes around! Karma's a bitch...and she bites back!
