Day After Election Day

Yesterday, November 2nd, 2004. Election Day. I voted for president for the very first time. I was very excited, even after standing in a line for over half an hour. It was weird, though... I didn't see any young voters other than one other person at the place where I voted. And those voters who were already in line seemed very surprised to see someone young there. Everyone was 50+ in age. At that point, I felt important. I felt empowered. But then..... the results came today. And everything that I had felt less than 24 hours ago was wiped away the very minute I turned on the T.V. I began to think,"Another 4 years of the same crap. What was everyone thinking?" Maybe things will be different this time. Maybe Bush will admit that he did some idiotic things. Maybe he'll acknowledge and own up to the fact that he made many wrong decisions. HA! What was I thinking?! Man... this whole election just made me feel even worse than I already did. I was having really bad cramps earlier and now I can add this to my pain. On a much, much lighter note, I was talking to Robert yesterday (Bobby. this will be the last time I'll remind ya'll. After today, just you'll just have to be confused. Thanx) He asked what i was doing for Spring Break. I was thinking to myself, hell, I don't even know what I'm doing for Winter Break. I said, "Dude... um... it's way too earlier to think that far in advance." R: "No, it isn't." I go, "Well, for right now, I have no idea." R:"Good. Would you like to go somewhere with me, then?" Of course! I didn't want him to know I was that excited so I said, "Why, yes. But where would we go?" Obviously he didn't know because I was absolutely correct on the fact that it's way too earlier to decide that. But we might go somewhere hot. That would be a lot of fun. But I think that I'll have to finally talk to my mom about everything before we can do this. Who knows? Spring might be here before we know it. Time is flying. Maybe the next four years will fly by, too.
