Rock the Vote!

I'm getting ridiculously excited for November 4th. I can't wait for these seven days to pass. In exactly one week, I will be casting my vote in my second Presidential election since I have been registered to vote.

I'm not exactly sure why I am so excited. For those of you that know me, you know that I have been way more emotionally invested in this election than I ever have been before. Even though I know it doesn't make much of one, I still feel that my one vote counts for something. It's about as patriotic as I get.

Last night, my Choir Mates made an interesting comment on the fact that one of the most important people in my life is not even registered to vote. Choir Mate seemed surprised that I, of all people, would be OK with that. He went on to say that he would rather date a registered Republican than someone who wasn't even registered to vote. I'm not going to say that I'm necessarily OK with it, but my ideals are my own, and I have no plans to force them on anyone.

I hope there are people out there who are as excited as I am to head to the polls next Tuesday. And if you are registered, I can't force you to do anything. However, I can offer you my opinion that everyone should take adavantage of this right we have as Americans. Holla.
