Who Did You Vote For?

On Tuesday, I woke up feeling a little extra American. It was mid-term election day and I was going to exercise my right to vote. Since it was a nice autumn day, I decided to take a stroll down Main St. to Borough Hall where I would help determine the political direction our country would be heading for the next couple of years. Walking on the historic brick sidewalks of Upland, past some of the old colonial houses, along the stone walls that line Main St., I was struck with a real sense of history and I couldn't help but wonder how many other people took this same path since this town was established in the late 1600's. It was a strange feeling. I was even a little nervous as I entered the building and checked in.

I was pleasantly suprised to see, as I entered the voting booth, that I would be casting my vote on an electronic machine as opposed to those archaic, cumbersome machines I've used since I registered. After reading the poorly worded first question pertaining to compensation for veterans a few times to understand it properly, it was time to vote. In this election, as in most cases, I leaned heavily towards the democratic canidates with the exception of the Congressional seat which I went republican. I double checked my choices and pressed the green button labeled vote. I guess that's it. After all the buildup, the whole process was kind of a let down.

That's when I started wondering. Why is there never any proof of this transaction? I buy a pack of gum at a CVS and I get a receipt. I vote for the leaders of this state and country and I get nothing. How do I know for sure my vote registered? What stops certain people from "misplacing" a few votes? What happens when the power goes out and you can't use electronic voting machines? I vote for voting receipts.

Welcome to this Crazy World

I'm a couple of days late but CONGRATULATIONS to Lauren and Goot!!

Check out Brendan's new blog for more pictures and video. Gootman is doing a great job uploading images and keeping the posts updated. You can do some pretty cool stuff on these fancy thinking boxes. It's going to be great watching this little guy grow up.

Happy Leif Erikson Day

This is Fat Baby Leg on one of those lame psuedo-talent shows called Star of Tomorrow. Every once in awhile you find some real talent like FBL. I first heard about this guy about a month ago on the Kidd Chris Show. Genius. Columbus Day is such a bogus "holiday."

Lazy and/or Uninspired

I still haven't decided which one it is for the lack of udates, but really, who cares?

In the meantime...

Read Matt's blog . He forms thoughts and sentences very well.

Also, read Goot's blog. It contains entertaining and useful information.
Take your Airborne. I took mine last week prior to goot's warning. It works.


One last thought for now:

COWARDS

I hate people who shoot up schools, especially Amish schools. Each incident is equally tradgic, but the latest murders at the one room schoolhouse in Lancaster County, PA (ironically in a town called Paradise) made me physically sick. Who do the Amish ever bother? The pictures in the Delco Daily Times are heartbreaking. Two more girls who were in critical condition died today as a result of the shooting. Thoughts and prayers go out to the families of all the victims.

If you're gonna kill yourself, kill yourself. Stop taking innocent lives with you. Everybody is depressed or angry about something. I wish these crybabies were still alive so i could punch them in their weak-willed faces.

The Best Dunk EVER

Dr. J, Michael Jordan, and Vince Carter are the first three names that come to mind when I think about great dunks of all time but I can honestly say this is the best dunk I've ever seen.

Zagar and Steve

The new Bud Light commmerials are HI-larious. I wish Zagar was my roomate. Also, check out Steve's blog complete with flikr link. Gold.

Bud Light has the funniest and most clever ads on television and radio (Real Men of Genius) hands down.
