Voting hurts the mind...
I voted today.
I guess I always thought that once I did something magical would happen to me. Some life changing feeling would come over me and I'd know all the wonders of the world. Always felt like once I voted I would, in a way, have a voice. Years of schooling have left me with the mindset of 'complain if you vote'. Don't sit around and pick over the way of the world when you don't take the time to let your opinion heard. Voting is that way to be heard... hell Diddy thought so. In your vote holds your voice; in a sense your freedom. Looking around in the sea of 'voters' tonight, I find that thought is a bunch of BS. People vote for things they know. They search for a name or being that is 'normal' to them. They find safe haven knowing they have given that person another go at a life they could never have. What kind of peace can that give you? Have a voice of your own--don't look to others to find yourself. We put all this importance into voting and the idea of voting--and it really doesn't mean a damn thing! Think about it-- we vote, they count the votes, one side wins and the other is left to bitch and complain. Same cycle, same people (for the most part), same idea and downside...why waste time with it all?
I'm in a 'I don't give a damn' mood if you haven't noticed. Yeah not the direction I was going for but ehh that's life.
Ohh and if you're unopposed why are you on the ballot?! You won dumbass! Thanks for wasting my time reading!
Sidenote: Going to Erie on the 20th of October... I do look forward to that. Yes D that shall be an interesting weekend.
