GO-BAMA!!!

So YAY!!! I just voted. And I gotta say I’ve never been so happy to stand in such a long line in my life!

I vote in Ward 7, Southeast Washington, D.C. and when I got to the polling place at 6:15 this morning (polls opened at 7) I was more than happy to walk around the corner and halfway down the next street to get in the back of the line. I’d never seen anything like it.

I had planned to watch the results at home alone because I didn’t think I could stand to be at an ‘election party’ where there might be other people talking when I was trying to hear what the newscasters were saying. But after the comradery I felt while waiting in line this morning, I don’t want to experience tonite by myself. If things go the way I’ve prayed they do I’m gonna want to celebrate for sure! And if they go the other way, well… I’m gonna need some help flipping over cars. ;)

Just kidding… Kinda ;)

Yay for today! Vote, vote, vote!

Even if you’re not voting for Barack.

No really, T.I. got to vote???

In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel last nite, T.I. talks about voting for the first time and gives his rationale for illegally purchasing machine guns:

“You read the paper and you say, ‘Why did this guy, on the day of the BET awards, have machine guns?’ But then, if you read that he got killed on the day of the BET Awards, you say, ‘Why didn’t he have machine guns?'”

Ahhhh… Touche, T.I. Truer words were never spoken.

I hope you detected the sarcasm in that last sentence. Exhale… I’m not going to go on a rant about the people I know who have lost their right to vote for way less serious infractions. Because what’s the point?Â It’s not T.I.’s fault our justice system is such a joke. I’m just gonna say that I’m soooo glad he didn’t mention Barack Obama’s name. That’s the last thingÂ he needs right now.

T minus 4 days and counting…
