In anticipation of the large voter turn out, I decided to work from home today and go to the voting booth mid-morning. Conveniently, the elementry school where I was to vote was a 3-minute walk through the forest around the corner. Upon arriving through the back door meant to be the exit, there were 4 lines for people to get into. I got in the L-R line, unfortunately the longest. Still, I got my voting permit in like 5 minutes, and 5 minutes later I was done voting. Unlike most polling places, there didn't seem to be so many people at mine. Perhaps because of the off-peak hours, or maybe there are just too many immigrants who can't vote in my neighborhood. I do live in the ghetto afterall :P
This is nothing more than a personal journal to remind me of my life when I get older and wanna reminisce. If anyone else gets anything out of it, awesome. My life is fairly mundane though. Typically it revolves around my dog, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, hiking, and traveling.
