my opinion matters

I am very proud of America. I am especially proud that Ohio went for Obama, because I am an Ohioan and it feels good. It’s the first time I’ve voted for the president and it was counted, and other than Ted Strickland, I actually voted for a winner. It feels awesome.

Today is Election Day. I voted this morning at around 7:50am for Obama/Biden. I was seriously tempted to vote for the Socialist candidate – who knew there were so many people running for president this year? I was really happy because usually I’m the only person in the church basement voting, but this year I was actually in line outside. When I voted, the polls had only been open for less than an hour and a half and I was voter #64, which is impressive. That’s more than my polling location usually gets for the whole day. Huzzah for Dayton!!! I am very happy and optimistic about today. I have my whole night planned out with my electoral map and sparking grape juice to toast President Obama (omg I hope). I know, I’m lame, whatever. I have to be optimistic because thinking about McCain/Palin winning might make me cry. OBAMA!!!!!

Since last night was Halloween, Ryan and I went to Family Video to get a bunch of scary movies. The problem is, I hate scary movies – well… I hate watching scary movies right before I go to bed because it’s dark and scary and I have nightmares. So we ended up getting three actually scary movies and The Happening for me. I should have known better because it’s directed by M. Night Shamalanalamalamaman and his movies suck. Signs was god awful and don’t even get me started on The Village. UGH. But it had Mark Wahlberg so I figured it couldn’t be THAT bad. And it really wasn’t. I mean, the directing was awful and the acting was even worse, but it was a cool concept for a scary movie.. but like all M. Night Shamalamalan movies, the ending was terrible – but not because there was a twist ending. Cause there wasn’t. UGH. But I was sufficiently scared enough that I made Ryan go into the kitchen with me to get more water because I was afraid the plants were coming to kill me. So.. good job, I g...

I am a Democrat, which means I will always vote Democrat. And to be honest, I was a Hillary supporter so I wasn’t overly jazzed about Barack Obama. However, I saw a two-minute commerical (which is now on my myspace page) by Obama, and that honestly won me over – that plus the first debate. There’s something about him that’s very likeable and relatable, and that’s a fantastic thing to see. The vice presidential debate, I don’t even want to talk about it because Sarah Palin is such a fucking idiot that it isn’t worth mentioning. Ha ha, she has no experience – it isn’t even funny anymore, it’s just sad and pathetic. It gave him an early jump in the polls but it really didn’t pan out because, oh yeah, she’s retarded and is ill-prepared. And usually I hate the whole “heart beat away” argument, but damn that would be some scary shit. She better not be planning for 2012 because she’s dumb and nobody will vote for her. Plus, she needs to be taking care of her tard baby and not try to be someth...

For once, I was pleasantly surprised. Every year, I expect the VMAs to be terrible, and let’s face it, I’m usually right. However, this year – not without it’s lulls – was a million times better than normal. First off, there was the host. I personally think Russell Brand went a little far with some of his comments, but at least he was funny and entertaining. I didn’t really like that he was basically mocking the show he was hosting, but that’s cool. He’s British, whatev. Funny. The performances were pretty good too – I thought Rihanna was good, so was Paramore, and I loved the side performances with DJ AM and Travis Barker, especially with Katy Perry! I love that song! Obviously, TI sucked and so did Lil Wayne. Ugh. Why do they even exist? But Pink was super good (I already downloaded the song she sang and am very excited about her new album next month) and, if things weren’t good enough already, Christina Aguilera was AWESOME. I love her omg!!! Kid Rock was good before stupid Lil Wayn...

Ryan, Rachel and I saw Hamlet 2 last night and OMG seriously I don’t think I have ever laughed so hard in my entire life. Holy crap. Whoever the lead is should be in every movie because he is aboslutely hysterical. The funny part was it was the three of us, two more people younger than us, and then three couples of people aged 60+. Weird. Some of them did not enjoy it.

i love robert downey jr. and here is a recent comment he main that explains why: “My whole thing is that that I saw ‘The Dark Knight’. I feel like I’m dumb because I feel like I don’t get how many things that are so smart. It’s like a Ferrari engine of storytelling and script writing and I’m like, ‘That’s not my idea of what I want to see in a movie.’ I loved ‘The Prestige’ but didn’t understand ‘The Dark Knight’. Didn’t get it, still can’t tell you what happened in the movie, what happened to the character and in the end they need him to be a bad guy. I’m like, ‘I get it. This is so high brow and so fucking smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.’ You know what? Fuck DC Comics. That’s all I have to say and that’s where I’m really coming from. You know, you’re never too old to burn your bridges because I believe I have offended everyone. I think I’ve got a couple more. ‘I’ll burn that bridge when I come to it’ is my favorite phrase I’ve ever coined.”
