Rock the Vote

Today after class I followed Blake to the American Embassy to vote. I just wanted to see what the Embassy was like. Of course on the way over there I was of the opinion that I didn't need to vote, I would be represented indirectly, it was a waste of time. Everyone who knows me surely has had similar conversations with me over the years. Blake played devils advocate and said basically even if the vote doesn't count it stands for something - which I agreed with. By the time we got to the voting place I had already went through most of the process of voting. I was there, I went through security, I talked to the correct people, I was waiting in line. I was beginning to wonder if I could vote. So I made a deal with myself (and to Blake to a lesser degree). If it was possible for me to vote then I would. When my turn came I asked the guy and I could vote. All I had to do was fill out 3 pieces of paper and that was it. It was easier than most visits to the Doctor. OBAMA! First time I've ever voted. I even got a little sticker.
