Well. THIS IS IT! This is THE day. The day that will MAKE a DIFFERENCE....

....in whether my Birthday presents arrive ON TIME or NOT.

IT's 13 DAYS TILL MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Seriously, I don't care if stuff is on time....as long as it is BOUGHT. I kinda feel like all of November is mine anyway.

Also I'm up early. To vote? nah. I thought about going early but then on the news they said the lines are looonnnggggg. SO, much as I love this country and all, I don't do lines. I'm hoping that around 11ish, when all the tax paying, hard working schmucks are at work, I'll go. But seriously. those poll workers better speed shit up, cuz SURELY I'm not the ONLY one who is too lazy to get in line. If they were SMART about it, there would be door prizes and those donuts would be passed out BEFORE we vote, while IN line. get us all coked up on glaze and rainbow sprinkles.

And speaking of all those free treats we get, I was thinking on the way home from teaching class last night. (Teaching yoga puts me in a very Zen, pensive, philosophical space. I think it's less a spiritual experience, and more a "drunk with power" high. After all, people in class do whatever I say. I could make them hop on one foot for an hour in the name of "presence" and "endurance." I mean, I would NEVER!)( but I could)(just saying)

And I found it curious that WHOLE FOODS isn't giving out anything free to voters. NICE ONE whole foods! Way to support the community. Cutting out plastic bags just ISN'T gonna cut it.

Is it that they all know hippies don't vote anyway. They just complain about THE MAN and THE CORPORATIONS. Then they get high and don't move more than a couch cushion away. Am I stereotyping? hmmmmm....

Also maybe they figure if they were to give out, say wheat grass shots, that Americans wouldn't vote. it would have the opposite effect, that we would see it as punishment.

Or maybe they just KNOW that, with americans, it simply "wouldn't take." I know I wouldn't be running around all over the greater Los Angeles area to different whole foods to get my free gluten free snacks, as I will with say, the 57 Starbucks in my 5 mile radius, and the 11 Ben & Jerry's within 20 miles of my zipcode, and the 6 krispy Kreme stores that I can get to in 30 mins. I have a game plan, don't worry. This is EXCITING. It's like trick or treat for adults!!

I mean, the future of our country is exciting too, I guess. But I'm veering off track here. The REAL excitement is MY BIRTHDAY!!! I wonder how many presents/giftcards ALL MY READERS will send?!?!?!?
