this weekend so far has been crazy. i've been mostly happy. i've been pretty lucky this weekend, random spontaneous shit has popped up and it's overall been good. i've hit 88,888 miles on my car today, and apparently 8 is the chinese number for good luck, so i've had good luck on my side. i felt the need to rant though, cause i got EXTREMELY mad today. if i see my mother, i'm going to throw something, that's how mad i am. but i'll get to that later, i don't feel like talking about that now.
i voted. i was anxious excited and anxious nervous at the same time. today all in class i thought to myself holy shit, i'm actually voicing my political opinion by going into a booth and pushing a few buttons. yet when i got there i was nervous cause i saw the thing and thought oh god, what do i push? and i got there and just hit the button by obama and thought oh cool, i just voted 4 obama! and the rest i just voted republican so i guess you can say i'm a conservative liberal. it literally took like 2 minutes though and it was quick.
now, to my mom. i'm so pissed off beyond belief at my mom right now. like i've literally had it up to HERE this time. the past 2-3 days alone, in the final days of this election, i've told my mother i was going to vote for obama and she SCREAMED at me not to. mind you i come from a conservative family, and since i'm so young the democrat/liberal political issues do appeal to me more, but in no way shape or form am i biased by the younger generation to vote democrat. i do have a mind of my own and i do have issues that i do or do not want supported. and i told her i voted for obama and she told me "pack your things and move out then if you want to be a liberal". it was such a slap in the face that i let my mom have it. i told her "first off mom im not one of the people that makes $250,000 a year so i'm not going to get my tax on my paycheck raised significantly" and she told me that obama changed it to $100,000? um the mccain/obama ads even says itself FAMILIES UNDER $250,000. WHY WOULD OBAMA CHANGE IT SO LATE IN THE ELECTION RACE. so she's flipping out at me that my parents make a combined annual salary of $100,000 and so she said "why are you supporting a presidental candidate that's going to tax this family." and i said "FOR ONE THING I'M NOT VOTING FOR THIS FAMILY. I'M VOTING FOR THE ISSUES THAT MATTER TO ME." it's like how dare she try to persuade to vote for what my family wants, it's about the issues that matter to ME. and if she's going to shun my political opinion, i swear to god it's going to be the last straw and i'm packing my shit, and moving to my grandparents. my grandparents (on my MOM'S SIDE) are voting for obama, why doesn't my mom flip shit out on them? another thing is, what does the president even do? i understand he's the commander in chief and leads the troops, i'll get to that later. but he ELECTS people in the cabinet to do OTHER THINGS FOR HIM AND MAKE OTHER DECISIONS TO RUN THIS COUNTRY. to raise taxes it takes the CONGRESS and the SENATE AND the house of representatives to pass a bill. just because a president signs or vetoes it, the constitution allows congress to override a president's passing or veto of a bill with the 2/3rd's majority vote, with both house and the senate. obama wants to withdraw troops? the agreement with iraq explicitly says we're going to withdraw all troops by 2011. and obama is going to withdraw a certain amount of troops at a time, he's not going to take them all out at one time to risk chaos breaking out in iraq. i've just never been so angry at my mother. she's saying shit like "black people won't go out and vote, they're lazy" and "oh N's (i'm not saying it) are going to rob liquor stores but they won't go to the polls". and i've literally said to my mother's face that she was a racist. she stereotypes against black people ALL THE TIME, and it fucking pisses me off. like i joke around and say "nigga" but NEVER will i say the full N word to ANYONE. i don't care WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE. considering 45 years ago, that the civil rights act was passed, and now an african american is running for PRESIDENT. is AMAZING that in not even half a century we've gotten this far with equality. and now my mom is biased against black people, i'm not gonna sit back and listen to her be derogatory against another race, when they bust their ass to get to be a PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE and my mom is scared that rich families like hers are going to get taxed. and i don't care who the fuck reads this, because it sickens me to live in the same house as her if she keeps continuing the way that she's acting now. she has no right to say the N word in front of my face and feed me hate and racism. at least if i packed up and moved to my grandparents (i probably would have to sleep on the couch, but w/e, they never use it anyway) at least i would feel more comfortable being around someone more accepting of my beliefs. maybe i'm overreacting a little bit, and if obama does win, i hope my mom feels pretty embarrassed, because i DO believe obama would do a good job, because he has SO much more issues that he would tackle than mccain, in my opinion. but if mccain wins, then oh well, it'd probably be like the 2000 election all over again, where gore won the popular vote, and bush won the electoral vote, because in the end the electoral vote matters. so if my mom's flipping out over MY ONE VOTE, it's not like it's a big deal to make out of if the electoral vote determines who's gonna be president, NJ is gonna get handed to obama anyway, considering how widely democratic NJ is. chances are obama might win the popular vote, but mccain win the electoral. shit like that can happen again.
i just hope that history is made tonight.
a man of a different race, or the oldest man.
we'll see what it comes down to.
it all happens tonight.
