SERIOUSLY, JUST FUCK YOU GILBERT ARENAS. JUST FUCK YOU.
THE ELECTION
IM NOT INTO POLITICS, BUT I SEE WHATS GOING ON IN THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE AND IM SEEING RAPPERS MAKE SONGS FOR OBAMA AND MR. MCCAIN DOING ALL HIS STUFF AND IM THINKING, THIS IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL, PEOPLE. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS? YOU VOTE FOR WHOS WHO.
ITS HARD FOR ME TO VOTE, BECAUSE SINCE IVE BEEN IN THE NBA IVE BEEN IN THE UPPER CLASS SO IVE BEEN A REPUBLICAN. IF YOU HAVE ANY TYPE OF MONEY, YOURE A REPUBLICAN, PERIOD. SO, ITS HARD BECAUSE YOU SEE A BETTER LOOKING PRESIDENT IN OBAMA ... I DONT EVEN WANT TO SAY BECAUSE HES BLACK, BUT HE JUST LOOKS THE PART ... AND THEN YOU HAVE MCCAIN WHO IS REPUBLICAN AND IM LIKE, MAN. I KNOW OBAMA IS GOING TO RAISE TAXES ON THE UPPER CLASS FROM 20-60 PERCENT, THATS WHAT IM LOOKING AT. TO BE HONEST, I STOPPED PAYING ATTENTION A LONG TIME AGO WHEN IT WAS BUSH AND GORE WHEN GORE WON THE POPULAR VOTE, BUT BUSH WAS THE PRESIDENT.
BASICALLY, WHAT THAT TOLD ME WAS THAT EVERYBODY IN AMERICA VOTED FOR GORE, BUT SOMEHOW, BUSH BECAME PRESIDENT. I AM CONFUSED. OBVIOUSLY, OUR VOTE DOESNT REALLY MEAN ANYTHING. THEN YOU HAVE THIS THING CALLED THE DELEGATE, THEN YOU GOT THE SUPER DELEGATE AND THEN YOU GOT THE HIDDEN DELEGATE THAT NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT. IF YOUVE NEVER HEARD OF THE HIDDEN DELEGATE, THATS LIKE WHEN YOURE BUYING A CAR AND THEY SAY THE TAXES ON THE CAR ARE 20 PERCENT, AND THEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR STATEMENT, THEY CHARGE YOU AN EXTRA THREE, THATS THE SAME THING. ITS THE HIDDEN FEE DELEGATE THAT NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT WHO HAS ALL THIS POWER. THEY ACTUALLY GET TO PICK WHO THEY WANT FOR PRESIDENT. SO WHEN I START LOOKING AT IT LIKE THAT, THATS WHEN I STOP PAYING ATTENTION BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, OUR VOTES REALLY DONT MATTER. I DONT MEAN TO BE RUDE ABOUT IT, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT DOESNT MATTER. IF GORE WINS BY THOUSANDS OF VOTES AND BUSH IS PRESIDENT EIGHT YEARS LATER ... COME ON.
THERES ANOTHER REASON I DONT VOTE...I DONT WANT JURY DUTY. IF YOURE NOT REGISTERED TO VOTE, YOU CANT GET JURY DUTY. I KNOW THAT CAMPAIGN DIDDY HAD A COUPLE YEARS AGO, "VOTE OR DIE," YEAH IF THE ALTERNATIVE IS JURY DUTY, IM GOING TO DIE. IM NOT GOING TO GET IN ONE OF THESE CASES WHERE THEY BLOW THE JURY MEMBERS HOUSES UP TO GET OUT OF THE TRIAL, IM COOL. IVE SEEN TOO MANY MOVIES.
FOR WHATEVER PRESIDENT THAT WINS, WHAT CAN I TELL YOU? DO A GOOD JOB. CHANGE THE WORLD. I REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE VOTING FOR CLASS PRESIDENT IN HIGH SCHOOL, THE GUY WHO WON WAS THE GUY WHO SAID HES GOING TO PUT THE VENDING MACHINES IN THE SCHOOL CAFETERIA. THATS WHO I VOTED FOR. SO UNTIL I HEAR VENDING MACHINES OR LOWER GAS PRICES, IM NOT VOTING. AS SOON AS I HEAR, "YEAH, IM GOING TO LOWER GAS PRICES," THEN YOU GOT ME, ILL SIT IN JURY DUTY.
