Tomorrow I plan on getting up extra early and hauling my ass around the corner to my polling place. In 2004 there was a pretty long line (my former neighbor, the late actor Jerry Orbach, was waiting in line with the rest of us) - but I suspect it will be mayhem tomorrow. Manhattan has one of the highest percentage of Democrats in the nation, and we are not about to let this historic election pass us by.
After work I will rush home and put on the television (and log onto the computer). I will remain in front of the television until Barack Obama is declared to be the next President of the United States of America.
This election is so important to me that I quit my part-time job today. My boss (I've known him for 10 years/worked with him for 5 years) insisted that I come in tomorrow night while he is out of the country. I explained to him last week that I am not available on Tuesday, but any other day would be fine. He got pissed and hung up on me - so I called him back and left him a message basically telling him to go fuck himself. I guess I'll need to take that extra money out of my budget - but oh well. He was a delusional freak who is in so much financial trouble that his interior design business won't be around much longer anyway. Case in point - I can't order office supplies, send a messenger, or send a FedEx (because he hasn't paid the bills) - but he has plans to purchase a $400,000 coffee table for his house. Yeah ... fucking nuts.
What are YOUR plans for Election Day? Have you voted already? Will you watch the election results? If so, will you do it at home, or at some kind of event? Tell us in the comments...
