I was just trying to fold a load of laundry, and happened to hear a few snippets from a Barack Obama interview on MTV in the other room. Catching my attention was hearing Obama say:
Brothers should pull up their pants.
Apparently the issue being discussed was whether or not government should intervene and make laws regarding people’s choice to have tattoos, piercings, or clothing choices like wearing your pants low. The video can be found here if anyone is interested. It was a really funny thing to hear randomly.
Speaking of presidential candidates, I am a little apprehensive about voting tomorrow. I really wish I would have completed an absentee ballot, or voted early, because the idea of standing in a huge line isn’t my idea of a good time. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll do it, I just wish I would have taken care of it earlier.

I haven’t voted yet either. I am waiting for tomorrow too. I am kinda freaked out, though, since I have heard that the lines for voting early were ungodly long here. I can’t wait to see it tomorrow, though. I am glad I have a good couple hours to waste in line to cast my vote. I am glad I get to do it this year.

I’m not looking forward to lines either. However, I have the day off tomorrow so hopefully if I get in there early enough I won’t have as many problems. Last year I had to go at night and it was a disaster. Good luck!

I just read that his grandmother passed away on Sunday. So sad
At least now she can actually be with him tomorrow, in spirit.
Thank you for voting Obama - he needs to win Ohio!

i am literally (yes doing this via mobile from the streets now) with my clipboard about to start my shift to register folks here in florida for the next 3 hours before i move on to my next job on this busy day… i’ve had old men look me in the eye and say to my face, “young lady, how can you support that man - he is BLACK - he is BLACK”, “young lady, this country will fail with an african american in power….. he will be assisinated before you know it…” “Jamie, don’t you think your HOPE is a bit conveluted and idealistic…?” “jamie, you are an INSPIRATION, thank YOU!” i’m not mentioning the amount of positivity ive had because that is a given, but as i faced these individuals i smiled, i listened, i respected their voice, but most of all i heard and felt SUCH ANGER and IGNORANCE and all i could was pray for them… and pray that soon enough they’d feel the same hope and positivity that i feel we have NO CHOICE in this life but to hang on to.. without it, what are we here for? this is going to be an amazing night, ahhhhhh im stoked!!!!!! huge get together at campaign hq here later, i think ive forgotten what it means to sleep.
