I'm not a morning person. There is a very short list of things that will inspire me to get up at 6:30 a.m. A hungry baby, of course - an early morning flight to somewhere very warm and very tropical, absolutely.
Very early this morning I had to drag myself from my warm bed for what? To cast my vote. WTF? It was cold, it was dark. I had this scenario in my head of arriving early and sitting in my warm vehicle until I was ready. Yeah, right. There were already 125 people in line when I arrived. People in chairs with blankets, hats and gloves camped out...waiting. It reminded me of a cold night in 1984 when I spent the night on a sidewalk waiting to buy Prince tickets.
To make matters worse, instead of being excited to vote for a wonderful candidate that gives me that tingling feeling up my leg, I was voting specifically against the hopeless idea of socialism. WTF? How could we, as a country, possibly get to this sad day. My theory has alot to do with the indoctrination of the general public disguised as the pitiful government education system. I won't get into that now, but I have spent hours researching the subject and most people would be shocked at what they would learn if they took the time to look into the history of it.
As I was driving in the dark this morning something happened. Something so rare that I had to laugh at the implications. A shooting star flashed across the pre-dawn sky and I just happened to be looking up at that exact second. What could it symbolize? Was it a sign? Will it be a beautiful example of McCain and Sarah becoming the stars we need to fix this mess (or at least try to) or will it be just another lump of space shit soaring high and bright but falling to it's death and burning out in a split second. Unfortunately, we will have to wait at least 6 more excruciating days to know.
