Yes, that phrase is a bit extreme, but Puffy needed a gimmick and I think it’s working. In the “most important election of our lifetime,” I think back to the previous election and how I was not a part of it. It wasn’t my fault, I blame the government. It took 3 years for me to become a citizen here. Three long years of waiting. I became frustrated with the system. I was raised here since I was 6 months old and was educated in the fine city of Modesto and went to a great university. Why did it take so long? I was a history major for goodness sakes! I know US history. I probably know it better than most average Americans. But none of it mattered. I still had to wait and by the time things were settled, the 2000 election had already passed. So this is my first election. I am excited. Way beyond excited.

If you know me at all, you then know who I voted for. Some of my friends surprise me though. I don’t talk politics much, but I have been recently and it’s fascinating to hear people's opinions on things. It’s not that it will change the way I feel about them as a friend, but it makes things so much more complex. It’s going to be a very interesting election, no doubt. I’ll be watching all day and will be following it while M and I have dinner tonight.

So if you haven’t yet, vote. Please please please!

I got home last night and fell asleep at 6:00pm. But I woke up a few hours later alert and couldn’t sleep until really late. So I didn’t get much sleep last night either. My sleep cycle is off. Must sleep. But I know I can’t tonight, this election’s got me wired.
