At work. Came from polls. Got me ‘provisional voter affidavit’: first time-WTF! Says ‘does not guarantee ballot will be counted.’08:30AM 11/7. Foggy-whole bay area: WOW!
Well, it’s been awhile since I last blogged on Halloween. I’ve been reading my favorite forum author and felt ‘his’ or ‘her’ or ‘its’ presence a few minutes ago. I sent my heartfelt energy to this or them by clapping my hands together loudly. The current time will be 09:33PM on 11-08-2006.
I tried voting on 11-07-2006 yesterday but couldn’t because my name did not appear on the roster of precinct number 1414. The location was in the Scientology building about one mile from our house. I actually woke up early to get a head start on Monday’s monster lockbox work worth around four million US dollars.
I thought I wanted to vote in the evening and had to repeat myself twice to Paw that I would be voting after work. But I’ve decided to leave the house early before 07:30AM and logically figured that the sunlight was less scary that during the night.
When I got there were four people to my left, two workers on my right and three to four people in black voting already at the computerized booths. I approached this Asian guy and showed him my driver’s license for his ease in locating my name. He got overly excited and loud as he told me to look over this pink sheet.
This other Asian lady told him he was being too loud. This one other guy had red looking face and he tried to explain something to me about their extra steps to make sure I get to vote.
And lo and behold! I ended leaving with a blank pink colored ‘provisional voter affidavit!’ This is the first time I received problems with voting. I stated out loud ‘maybe I am not allowed to vote’ and ‘maybe I do not exist.’ I asked if I could vote since I am [here] already.
I didn’t want to sign this stupid ‘pink slip’ because the last paragraph explained that my vote may not count. And I had a feeling that mine didn’t matter. I sat on one of the chairs of the sitting area for a minute and decided to leave.
I drove towards northbound Highway 101 and decided to read the words of this pink piece of paper at each stoplight. I had my car windows rolled down so people could see my pink paper in hopes they take a hint that this ‘red flag’ meant something was happening with the voting system of America.
So I got this tasty, vent-sized peppermint mocha latte in organic milk from Starbucks. Then I drove while holding the pink slip against my steering wheel. I am not upset but wondered why this happened to me. I suppose voting means taking sides and there is not side to anything from my personal Truth.
That was a long day for me because I had to stay until 07:20PM to complete Monday’s work. The day was peaceful enough because the boy called in sick due to this painful back problem caused by his over-excising with heavy weights at the gym. Some people need to exercise in moderation and build of strength to avoid injury and regret later on in life.
I came home and found my bio-units watching the small television set bought by Paw back in 1978 while stationed in Okinawa, Japan. Paw was cheering because the Democrats control the House of Representatives. Maw was looking sickly, sounded gurgled and watched too with some enthusiasm.
I hungrily ate my two slices of liver and the remaining container full of mixed vegetables (beans, carrots and corn). I loved the taste of liver, which boosted the flavor of the mixed veggies. I felt not quite full and had one more spoonful of white rice to finish my veggies.
I cleaned up and watched the television with my bio-units until almost midnight. We wanted to find out the results of the Senate and found there were three seats available for the Democrats to control this part of the governing branch of our nation.
I believe I played more games on the computer upstairs until 02:00AM and forgot to remind Maw to take her second dose of antibiotics. But I think she took hers because she claimed she wakes up almost every hour.
Voting would have been worth my time and gas. That day was relaxing and new to me because of the nice foggy morning that gave way to clear blue skies with brownish muck sticking in the horizon by the mid-afternoon. I wanted to walk around to enjoy the day despite delays.
