Today is November 1. My favorite month is over, quickly replaced by a heavy downpour and icy winds. We've added an extra hour to our routines, turned back the clocks and checked the batteries. Halloween is over, and the biggest election of our lifetimes will take place tomorrow, and probably will not end until January.

Enough being poetic. I had an enjoyable weekend. My Halloween gathering went just fine, although it included a bit more alcohol than I had figured. I was fine, but some of my friends hit the wall a little hard. (Just Ben, actually.) It was all in good, responsible fun though. We watched a movie and did some bowling. It was nothing major, but nobody I know likes major events. I hope they had a good time, because I like to play host.

If I may make a big deal out of something very insignificant, I forgot to watch Saturday Night Live because I thought it would be a re-run. I had already made this mistake last week, and missed out on the Ashlee Simpson disaster, which they will surely never air again. This week, I missed Kate Winslet. This upsets me, because I have a little boy crush on this woman, and think she's the second most beautiful female on the planet. (The Missus takes first prize.) It just so happened that I had a dream about her last night, without even knowing that I missed out on her SNL hosting duties. It wasn't a naughty dream or anything, I just like her is all. Enough!

Now listen, we've got to talk for a second here. Man to man, or man to woman... or woman to woman, if you prefer. It's about this Election tomorrow. It's important, it really is. The last few elections have been sort of worthless. 2 candidates who agree with each other on almost every subject. It really didn't matter who you voted for, if you voted at all. This year is different. We have 2 rich, white millionaires who disagree on almost every damn subject you could bring up to them. We actually get to choose which one of these people agrees the most with us, and vote for them as our President. Pick a topic that matters to you. This war, the draft, abortion, health care, the economy, taxes, education, the environment. These candidates have a different opinion on all of these issues. If you already know who you're going to vote for, good for you. Vote for the guy who you think will instill your beliefs in the Oval Office. If you're still undecided, or are considering staying home, you're missing out on something that's honestly going to effect you. It will take you no more than 5 minutes to look up what the candidates have to say about almost anything. Make an educated choice, and cast your vote. Wisconsin is a great state, because they let you register to vote on the day of the Election! No phone calls to make, no e-mails and no letters. All you have to do is show up at your local polling place, and it will take you 30 seconds to change the world. If that sounded queer, you need to know that I wouldn't say it if I didn't believe it was true.

Everyone is telling you how to vote, myself included. Personally, I'm voting for John Kerry because I agree with about 95% of his values. I also think George W. Bush has endangered the lives of every single human being on the planet due to his sins, and the collective sins of everyone in his cabinet. My decision was easy. 4 years ago, I never thought I would be drafted to go and die in the Middle East for no reason whatsoever. Now that is an honest reality. On the other hand, there are many reasons to vote for Bush as well. Here's just a few:

1. Are you a white male?
2. Do you make over $200,000 a year?
3. Do you own more than a dozen rifles?
4. Do you dislike faggots and spooks?
5. Do you want more retarded people to be executed?
6. Are you tired of women making decisions for themselves?

If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, you really should vote for George W. Bush tomorrow.

The Republicans like to do a lot of fear mongering to frighten people into voting for Bush. They've almost promised another attack on America if Kerry is elected. Of course, the only recent attack we've seen on America was when Bush was in office, so to think he'll protect us from another one... well, that's a little counterproductive. Frankly, I'm sick of talking about this.

Tomorrow is important. It really is. Do your part. Vote for the guy you agree with the most. If you don't know who you agree with the most, FIND OUT. We, the people, get to pick the next President of the United States, in a time where we have a lot of blood on our hands.



Please make it happen.
