I'm unmotivated today. I think you all are unmotivated, too, considering the lack of blogging and commenting going on. I think I stayed up too late watching election coverage.
I find myself a fence-sitter on a lot of issues....I'm a liberal republican...or a conservative democrat. Do I agree with everything Barack stands for? No. Do I agree with all of what McCain stands for? No. Do I even like Sarah Palin? No. hahaha....
Anyway, I was pleased with the win last night and think this is going to be a monumental time for our country. Watching that sea of people at Grant Park was simply amazing. Chatting online, I said "This is better than a rock concert!" hahahaha!
I thought his speech was outstanding. I wasnt in tears or anything, but I thought he spoke like a President last night...and that made me very proud.
Dude. Now I change the subject a little. I was just at the mall. I have this "I'm bored with myself" thing right now which makes me want to go buy things. It's unhealthy really..b/c I.never.find.anything. Anyway...after my unfulfilling trip, I headed to chick fil a in the food court before heading back....
Me: I'd like a number 5.
Bubbly 20 year old: Okay....Can you believe the election last night?
Me: Yeah...
Her: I cant believe that man won. Our country is in TROUBLE. He's gonna ruin it.
Me: Hmm....*not meeting eye contact with her pretending to look through my purse*
Her: I didnt even VOTE. I'm not even registered actually, but I wouldnt have voted for him.
Me: *thinking...dontsayit...dontsayit...she's 20...she works at chickfila...be nice...youll piss off everyone in line...* Hmm...*polite smile*
Her: I cant even imagine what's going to happen...
Me: Can I have ketchup?
Okay, seriously...herein lies my annoyance. I didnt say anything b/c I'm not in the mood nor would it be worth my time anyway. BUT, if you are UNINFORMED enough to believe the President can singlehandedly RUIN our country, I'm glad you're not registered to vote, you moron. Ever heardofa CONGRESS? Whatcha think they do, oh opinionated one holding my chicken? You think they just sit there and have a fashion show? Maybe try on those old George Washington wigs for shits n giggles? Who declares war? Go read the Constitution, Article I, Section 8, my chicken friend. Can the PRESIDENT singlehandedly do much of ANYTHING? Not really. I mean..he's got some awesome veto power. But Congress can even overturn THAT. *Sigh* He's a rockstar with some serious duties and power...but alone...he's not gonna take your chicken away from you, mall girl.
Whew. Stepping down from my soapbox now *straightening outfit and pulling myself together*
At least the chicken was good. Whatever.

hahah thats some funny shit! I watched a show on the news where they were registering new voters and they were showing them pictures and not one new who Biden was. Also the most common answer to to the question how many people make up the Senate? 12. Yes I said 12. Jeez....
i guess i'm just surprised and appalled by how ignorant and uninformed people are... not just 20 yo gals who work at the mall, but so many of the people i grew up with, too. i grew up in an extremely sheltered fundamentalist christian environment (homeschool, oh yes), and i guess i shouldn't be surprised that the kids i grew up with, most of whom didn't go to college and instead got married and started having babies before they were twenty, are making so many ridiculous comments... anyway, enough of that. ;)
i laughed out loud at work when i read that. oh high and mighty one holding my chicken, ROFL!!!! i agree if you arent informed thank god you dont vote because i would be pissed if your stupid chicken greased vote cancelled mine out!
i was sitting at home watching election coverage googleing things i didnt know about with my boyfriend so i could learn more, i hope that doesnt sound too sad, LOL.
now im off to chick fila. HAHAHA
