Voting is for Old People

If one more person tells me to vote, I am going to blow their brains out. Now, don't get me wrong, I have no problem with people voting, or expressing their opinion on who they are voting for. I also understand that people have no right to complain about how things go politically if you can't participate enough to vote about something. However, all you people simply saying "go out there and vote" or "it's your civic duty" or "blah blah vote blah", shut up already. I have a question for all of you people....if someone was convinced that they weren't going to vote, and your actions of demanding them to vote was what they needed to convince them to vote, would you really trust their opinion? What if immediately after you said "go out and vote!" someone was right behind you saying "and make sure to rape some people, don't waste those genitals!". I wouldn't trust those people, so why should you?

I am not giving the excuse of not caring enough about either candidates, I am simply expressing the fact that I don't have real evidence of a single vote ever making a difference. The government and media have told us how and why voting works, and we take their word for it, which is fine, but I don't know for sure if it really was. Wasn't there possibly an election about eight years ago where people voted, and one guy got more votes, but he didn't end up being president? From a scientific standpoint, I need cold hard evidence to believe in a concept, or agree with facts coming from sources I trust expressing how and why something works for me to just follow it blindly. Since I don't have those sources, I don't know if I will be voting. I'm not saying I am ruling out the idea entirely, and I am not saying the government has some epic conspiracy, I am merely saying that I don't know if voting really DOES make a difference, and if anyone out there has proof, I am all ears.

Now, say I were to get this proof, what would I do then, you may ask. Well, I honestly don't know which candidate I would vote for. I do not feel like I am educated enough about both candidates equally to be able to say which I prefer. That's not to say I don't agree with one candidate over the other, but if I don't have a complete picture, I don't think I have a right to make fair judgement. I have to listen to all these people saying "Candidate A is the best because they believe in this, this, and this", yet when questioned about what that candidate has to say on other issues, that aren't the trendy hip issues, they don't know. Or when questioned about what Candidate B has to say on all of the same issues, they don't know for sure. Also, where are these people getting their information from? I don't think I can trust the word of any news source interpretting issues in the way their audience would see fit. For example, say I watched a channel called "Faux News" because they had babes as anchors rather than watching something called "MSPCA" because all their anchors looked like dorks. You wouldn't be getting the same information in the same way, merely based on the fact that the anchors are reading different prompts. How can you make a decision about who will head the Executive branch of our country if you only have some of the information, but don't have a complete picture of the whole scheme? Just being an expert on one issue, or one topic, doesn't really give an adequate representation. Would you go to a foot doctor if you had a cold? I mean, why not, they have a lot of expertise in one area, why wouldn't they be able to make the best decision possible when it came to symptoms throughout the whole body?

So the next person who tells me to vote, I will simply smile and nod, and vote "Yes" to human sterilization in their bloodline. And to be honest, based on the people demanding I vote, I wouldn't be surprised to find more species than just humans in their bloodline.

Fall Fashions!

Let's discuss fall fashions. Yes, it's MUCH more complicated than we think. I hope this is more of a discussion than just me making one post. Let's think....thermal shirts or flannel shirts? Pullover hoodies versus zip-ups? When you go outside, hooded sweatshirt or light jacket? As far as jackets, denim or leather? Once it gets cold, winter coat or your fall jacket over a sweatshirt? And Jesus Christ, what about scarves?! So many possibilities! Yes, this is my first post in a while, and it should have been filled with more interesting things, but this is VERY important. Also, let me just say that wearing a thermal shirt under a t shirt looks coolest with black jeans. Anything else makes you look LAME. Here is what Arthur has to say about it....

I HATE YOU

Oh my sweet lord, I don't know what kind of description to give. This video makes me laugh on so many levels.

Maybe It's Just Me...

...but when you wear shorts on the train, and you find people staring at your shark with legs tattoo, you can predict exactly how long it will take before looking you in the eye to confront the sick mind that would think of such a tattoo, only to flop your tongue out of your mouth and roll your eyes into the back of your head so they think that their judgmental stare caused you to expire? Lord knows I certainly do!

Working For The Weekday

Not just the weekday, however, but SUPER early on a weekday. I woke up at 3:30AM to work a 5:15AM-9AM shift. Why, you ask? Because Saturday is Miki's birthday. Yes, Miki the beluga whale. Due to this, apparently someone somewhere thought it would be a good idea to do a radio broadcast and involve babies somehow or something. Who knows, I wasn't really paying attention. Either way, I decided to chronicle my morning with cell phone pictures.



This has to be the first time I ever saw the clock on the oven show 4:10, except for my days of playing COD4 until 6 in the morning. Well, except of course, when it reads 4:10PM. Come to think of it, I am pretty sure I saw it read 4:10 yesterday, so, forget how exciting this picture is.



Wrigley Field at 4:14AM. I am sure you are all as shocked as I am that there aren't any jocks standing over their date rape victims as a Playoff sacrifice or something, because that's what I always assumed hapeened once the doors closed.



A large iced coffee with extra cream and extra sugar at 4:55AM could never taste quite as good if it wasn't held up next to a "No Panhandling" sign. Also, this picture turned out to work some magic a few minutes later...



This tunnel on the way to work is usually filled with people selling 50 cent bags of M & M's for 3 dollars, but at 5:04AM, after holding an iced coffee with extra cream and extra sugar next to a "No Panhandling" sign makes their heads blow up. Unfortunately, I decided against taking pictures of their bodies.



My building at 5:07AM. Quite......boring. I mean, really boring, I think at the time it seemed like a good idea.



The sun rising at 6:04AM, even though it just looks like God is playing fireworks. Oh wait oops, there is no God, slight flaw in that description.



The raging mob I had to hold back from jumping into the dolphin habitat at 7:32AM. They might not look ferocious, but trust me, they aren't.



MY GLORIOUS REWARD AT 8:05AM. Okay I didn't get to eat the whole cake, but any day that you get to have cake for breakfast is pretty awesome. YES HELLO I AM AN ADULT!

I would have taken pictures on the way home, but why would I waste time doing that?
