A change
So yesterday, I was pretty sure I wasn't going to vote. I was really iffy for the past year because I kinda gave up on caring because of the 2004 election. I put my heart and soul into that election and was majorly let down.
So anyway, I was on my way to work yesterday and I saw so many people on the street corners waving Obama banners. I actually didn't see a single McCain banner (and I'm sure McCain supporters would say something along the lines of, "That's because McCain supporters have jobs unlike Obama supporters"). And I felt inspired. I didn't realize there was so much support for Obama (I have no cable and I don't read the papers, so I am isolated from the whole world).
Also, there were three guys at work who ganged up on my boss about his political views, which really annoyed me. I could hear the whole thing because my office is right next to my boss'. I felt like getting up and saying, "Hey, didn't you ever learn not to talk about politics in social situations?" Seriously, don't do that shit.
During our first 15 minute break of the day, I said to my boss, "So I heard they were ganging up on you in there." He exclaimed, "Yes! It was so mean! Are you going to vote?"
I said I wasn't going to because it didn't seem like no matter what I did, McCain would just get elected. He told me not to lose sight and vote anyway because it mattered.
I went through such hell to vote! I hadn't changed my address since I first registered to vote in Alachua, which was when I lived on campus. So I went to the precinct on campus, only to be told to go somewhere else because I said I had changed my address. So I had to sit through campus traffic to make it over to the right place. I almost didn't do it. I almost tore up the slip the clerk gave me and went home.
But I stuck through it.
Before going into the place to vote, this woman stopped me and told me about the Mills property tax blah blah i forgot what it's called. She said they are cutting school programs for computers, music, and art by $14 millions, and if this small tax is created for homeowners, it would raise $13 million dollars over the course of four years and it could bring back some programs. So I voted yes. I'm not a homeowner, so it doesn't affect me, haha.
I am sorely disappointed that Amendment 2 passed. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT GAY MARRIAGE, TARDS. It's about unmarried couples in general. People like my mom and my step dad.
Thanks, douchebags, for not being informed on what the amendment really meant. You're helping no one and you're making my parents' lives harder than it already is. THANKS. GO TO HELL.
The end.
