Voting. The intricacies of.

I just wanted to ask you if you can tell me why people at a certain age, say, from 25 onwards, become increasingly interested in politics?
I am 24 and I’m afraid that it’s been creeping up on me.
When I turned 21, I woke up on my birthday and thought to myself, ‘I think I might actually vote this election.’
This year was the elections, as everyone knows (in this country anyway) and I voted, but I didn’t want to.
I said I wasn't going to, and I tried not to, but I ended up in line somehow and also somehow ended up voting.
And the people I voted for, won.
This makes it worse.
Grit rubbed into the wound, as it were.
I am not pleased.
To cut a long story short, why do we even vote?
Apparently it doesn’t make a difference.
That’s what my non-voting friend told me, but then if it doesn’t make a difference, why did the party I voted for, win?
All the media said they would lose!!
Does this mean I am a magical voter?
Do I have super powers?
What a lousy superhero…
Votewoman. Can tick a box in a single bound.
Can stand in line patiently for hours.
No non-voting villain can stop her relentless voting.
Nope, doesn’t quite work.
Ok I’ll shut up now.
But I hope you see my point, and will answer my question.
By the year 2050. Because I know you are all so very busy.

:D

Me and Scott Adams are soul mates. Apparently.

Ok so I was reading my Dogbert newsletter, (got it from Dilbert.com, copyright Scott Adams 2005) and I read this stuff below.

MY OWN DILBERT BLOG
===================
When I see news stories about people all over the world who areexperiencing hardships, I worry about them, and I rack my brainwondering how I can make a difference.
So I decided to start my ownblog.
That way I won’t have time to think about other people.
People who are trying to decide whether to create a blog or not go through a thought process much like this:
1. The world sure needs more of ME.
2. Maybe I’ll shout more often so that people nearby can experience the joy of knowing my thoughts.
3. No, wait, shouting looks too crazy.
4. I know – I’ll write down my daily thoughts and badger people to readthem.
5. If only there was a description for this process that doesn’t involve the words egomaniac or unnecessary.
6. What? It’s called a blog? I’m there!

The blogger’s philosophy goes something like this: Everything that I think about is more fascinating than the crap in your head.
The beauty of blogging, as compared to writing a book, is that no editor will be interfering with my random spelling and grammar, my complete disregard for the facts, and my wandering sentences that seem to go on and on and never end so that you feel like you need to take a breath and clear your head before you can even consider making it to the end of the sentence that probably didn’t need to be written anyhoo.

If that doesn’t inspire you to read my blog, I don’t know what will.

Yay Scott!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew we were soulmates. Somewhat corroded souls, but still perfectly servicable if you iron them out. You say all the things I am too polite or kind to say.
All of you Scott Adams fans, unite!!!!!!!!!
Go check out his blog!
I'm going to go and read it right now!

Bye!

Happy post!

Ok, most of my posts have been so depressing!
Bleah.
Um, sukiyaki, takoyaki, okinomiyaki!!!
Yay!!!!
I'm sure sukiyaki is nice, but I hate takoyaki. And I do very much like okinomiyaki.
What IS sukiyaki?????I don't know.
ok let's change it.
nigiriyaki, takoyaki, okinomiyaki!!!!
Ok, I do love yaki onigiri... but I don't think I put it right, I cheated and put it back to front.
And it's hard to say fast.
Stick with the original.
Whenever you're sad, just say this fast;'sukiyaki, takoyaki, okonomiyaki!!!!'
It's fun and it makes me smile.
Let's quote from Hamasaki Ayumi's new(ish) song, 'Catcher in the Light' (Is that a parody of 'the catcher in the rye'?)
The entire song is two lines.
But they sure are powerful.
nagamete iru dake ja
itsumademo te ni dekinai
nagamete iru dake ja
kimi no mono ni wa naranai

Translation:
If you only look
You will never get it
If you only look
It will never be yours

(I got these lyrics from this place: http://ayumi.primenova.com/lyrics.php)
Take that to heart. Not the url, the lyrics.
>_<
Bye!
