9:00 AM - Barack The Vote
I have to say that it feels good to finally vote. It was pretty easy but I think the computer polls are waaay too complicated. There's too much room for error. And why is Barack Obama all the way in the bottom of the ballot? Are they trying to hide him? There were probably 30-40 people there in line to vote and I saw my cousin. Shout out to my cousin Markie for voting!

Anyways I still don't know what to expect with the outcome of this election. I still vividly remember Al Gore being declared President in 2000 elections before Bush STOLE it. Please don't do us dirty this time!

Yo Vote. I Voted.


My elections poll was at OLM aka The Dynasty.


1:30 AM - Why I Am Voting for Barack Obama...

There’s a saying that goes “the only thing constant in life is change.”

In Spring of 2007, my last semester at San Diego State, I wrote a paper about how I am inspired by change and people that affect change in the world and that I believe that the greatest form of change is progress and growth. No matter where you are in your life, there is always hope because there will always be change. Over our lifetime we have experiences and knowledge that help us grow as human beings and as long as we have time, there will always be hope to better ourselves and progress through life. We have all already learned by now that life is full of ups and downs, highs and lows. It is the hope that things will change for the better that gets us through the difficult times. It is growth that allows us to evolve everyday into the person that we are and the person that we will become. It is our hope that allows us to strive to succeed in whatever aspect of life we value. It is our progress through life that leads us to achieve what we set out to do.

Not only do I believe that it is important to grow personally but I also believe that it is important to help others around us grow or help change a part of someone else's life for the better. I am fortunate to be surrounded by family and friends that personify these ideals which is why on my Myspace, I say that I am "inspired by the people closest to me." It is also important for our society to progress because what goes on in our society affects us. Imagine this world without the progress in social equality and human rights. We most likely wouldn't even be here right now.

And so I am voting for Obama, not because of all the media hype nor because another person said to, but I am voting for him because he represents these ideas and ideals that are important to me. He represents social progress by being the first minority to become the presidential candidate of a major party. He inspires people to strive to achieve their dreams over adversity and against all odds when others may think it is impossible. He strives to provide opportunities for people that need help the most and to lead this country in changes in alternative energy and reformed health care. He gives people hope that things will change for the better.

Obviously I am not the only one voting to Obama for these reasons, but I just wanted to share some of my reasons for supporting Obama. So when you see me repping Obama on my shirt or on myspace or on the blog, its because I truly believe in the importance of electing him as the next President of the United States. This isn't American Idol, America's Best Dance Crew or the ESPY's. This is about our lives and our future forreeeeaals... and people are still sleeping on this election. But now its time to vote.... make your vote count.

Peace!
