Today's The Big Day

So I started out this morning fully intent on going somewhere to register. Unfortunately, being as lazy as I am, I waited way too long and City Hall is now closed. It looks like I'll probably be able to register at the library though.. Julia is coming to pick me up and I guess we're both heading up there. 

I had a pretty rough day yesterday, both at work and when I got home.. and I ended up going out later that night. It got me thinking, when is too much going out really too much? A friend of mine recently got upset with me for being a little too crazy for my own good..but what kind of world do we really live in nowadays? I think one of our biggest problems is that so many kids just don't know what to do with their lives. 

I just sometimes wish that suburban/ohio life wasn't the way it is. A lack of anything to do means that after work and school you are either at the bar (for those lucky enough to be 21) or at a friends house sitting around drinking a beer (etc.). I don't even think that it gets better in other places, because there is a nightlife in Cleveland, I just wish it was more gorgeous here and there were more community events that were actually interesting. I think the ideal place for me would be a more Coventry-like area. Maybe I'll move out there if I ever get the money.

Voting is a Pain in the Ass

I was driving to work this morning and in my half-awake state when a McCain/Palin sign in someone's front yard caught my eye, which got me thinking.. What in the hell is going to happen to the United States?

It seems like every time there is a presidential election, the candidates before the primaries always don't seem too bad, but after the primaries it all goes downhill. I am not saying that I wanted to vote for Hillary, for the record, but I feel like going out to vote this year is as important as it is pointless. 

To be honest, I know that I am voting for Obama - but he is far from my ideal president. I don't think that I should be taxed more for government aid programs because right now, I don't use them. That is selfish and immoral, but its the truth, deep down I am not a democrat. I just hate George Bush and McCain because of their stupid bullshit values and this war that's going on right now -- politics are so corrupt nowadays. How are people suppose to have the motivation to go out and vote when neither president is good all-around? I just wish that for once, a well qualified and intelligent person would run. Barack will have to be close enough, I guess.
