it seems that the aftermath of halloween has resulted in this:
target has their candy 75% off and i couldn’t pass it up. unfortunately i have no self control, so after a day of gorging myself on chocolate i force myself to hand it out to everyone in the office. makes everyone else happy and me less likely to gain 10 lbs in 3 days. because i will eat it all. don’t underestimate me.
i’m sitting here at 4:25 pm on election day also thinking about what the aftermath of these elections will look like. frankly, i’m tired of hearing about them and talking about them. this is something i sort of alluded to in a previous post, but…will the nation continue to be this passionate about all of the issues we claim to be important even when the person we didn’t vote for gets elected? will republicans still fight for the right of the unborn? will democrats still campaign for the welfare of the poor? because quite honestly these things cannot be cured by one very, very flawed man (mccain or obama). i speak for myself here just as much as anyone else. it seems like we get really worked up during election time, but then settle back into our self-indulgent lives once so-and-so is elected. let’s not let that be the case. and let’s not place all of our hope in a man who is flawed and bound to screw up. obama or mccain cannot save us.
mmmm…that candy looks gooood! That’s the reason I cannot go to the store this week!
I think your reminder is a good one and very timely. I hope we don’t (I hope *I* don’t) just get worked up during this time and then forget about all these things I claim for my reasons for voting the way I do. Our votes should really be reflective of our lives, not just our “every four years idealogy”.
I heart J-Ro!
