My nipple tassels spilled the beans
Life as i know it has been flooded with "I Voted Today" pins, hats, shirts, avatars, pictures of the "I Voted" pin on themselves or other miscellaneous objects, and hell if I know it, nipple tassels. Like broadcasting that vital information is going to get you a pat on the back or a mental note of acknowledgment. Who care's because I surely do not.
So to jump on the bandwagon I broadcast my very own avatar.
Yes ladies and gents, I did not vote today. The day I turned 18, I had not a fleeting thought of excitement because I am finally of age to vote. I have not a care in the world to vote because I do not believe that my one measly little vote counts. I am well aware of how the system works and it is not MY vote that chooses president's but the electoral votes. Presidents may win the popular vote by a land slide but dare lose the electoral vote to the other guy well... sorry, but better luck next time. My voice will not be heard and neither will yours.
People say to me, "If you do not vote, you have not the right to your opinion." I say, I have no opinion on the world, nor the government nor have I complained. If something doesn't directly affect me, why should I break a sweat for it? Call it selfish, but I have more important things going on in my life to worry about.
Yes, this entry will probably stir up some shit, but I plead the 5th. Lets all focus on the real excitement about Election Day and that being the oh-so-very adorable Google logo:

We have electoral votes because we are a Republic. If we didn't do it that way, states like California with large populations would be able to have a gigantically bigger say in voting than small states like New Jersey. The Electoral College system isn't perfect, but it's more representative than using the popular vote.
Your vote DOES decide where your states Electoral Votes go. Saying your vote doesn't count is a ridiculous excuse you're using to justify your lazy, selfish behavior. When shit's going on in the country that you don't like, don't fucking whine about it ever if you don't vote, just plug in your ipod and go off into your own selfish little world.

Christopher - "When shit's going on in the country that you don't like, don't fucking whine about it ever if you don't vote" I believe that I just stated that I did not complain. Open your eyes!
Life's too short to worry or complain about shit that I can't do a thing about. It's not selfishness, it's reality.
