My first time.


Obama, Obama, Obama.....

At about 8:15 am AZ time, I stood at the little table and voted for the next president of the United States and damn did it feel good!

Me and my dad went and stood in line for about an hour and a half; We didn't do the early balloting because I wanted to experience the whole voting atmosphere (read: it was my first time!) and my dad didn't just so he could come with me lol.

Anyways, as I got the ballot I got a sense of nervousness, not because I thought I was going to mess up but because, for the first time ever a president of African American descent was on the ballot with a legitimate chance to win.

It was an almost surreal moment for me. I was all smiles. I finished before my dad and waited for him in the car. When he saw me he asked why I was acting all happy, i simply said 4 words in response:

I JUST MADE HISTORY!



P.S. - Some lady thought she could register at the polling place. After about an hour of standing in line one of the polling officials told her that she couldn't vote because she didn't register ahead of time. She got all mad and walked out. lol. Thanks for the effort but...come on now.

Punchcard Promises - My plea for you to vote

Before you do anything....please watch the below video I found over at Yon's blog.




Ok, first of all, big ups to the celebs that came out and used their power of image to support such an important topic. Really, I commend them, they could have just easily not.

Second, this isnt a plug for/shot at any party. They spit the truth from recent events and as a means of motivation for yall

I have a lot of friends out there who aren't gonna be voting this election. It baffles me as to why not. They are giving up an opportunity to make their voice heard in regards to the highest office of this country and, in some respects, the most influential position in the world. Quite frankly, there really is no reason not to vote. I mean, It's not like you can vote for the president everyday. This is a right that had been denied to many and restricted to many more. After all of the effort put in to allow suffrage for all, to not vote would be, in effect, a slap to this countries history and everyone that worked to make this right available to everyone.

Personally I'm Excited as hell to vote in my first presidential election. and honesltly, yall should be too...whether its your first (like myself) or your 5th. Whether you rep the donkey or the elephant or.....whatever the independant party is. Go out in November and place your vote for who you think should be the next leader of this country.

You have until the 6th of october to register. So hurry!

You really have no right to complain if your candidate didnt get picked if you didnt even put your say into the debate to begin with. Just saying.

Gone!
