Does It Even Matter?

Every time I turn on the television, there is a commercial for one of the congressional candidates. Sometimes they come on back to back, bashing each other. Call it what it is but I don't really care about politics. I don't know when the elections are nor am I in any hurry to find out when they are. I don't trust politicians and I never will. I'm proud of Barack Obama, but I know that he can only do so much. And even then, I might not agree with everything that he says. So why all this media craze? Obviously elections hold weight, but I just don't care anymore. Yes I will vote, but I won't know anything about who I'm voting for. So what? My attitude towards voting is that I'm only doing because I feel like I have to. Too many people died for me to just be able to do so. I'm not from the school of thinking that my vote doesn't count. I'm from the school of distrusting politicians. In the end we all want the same things, but we have different ideas about how to get there. I know what happens affects me, but it's not life or death. A few years back there was an ad campaign that said, "Vote or Die." Well...I didn't vote in that election, pretty much out of spite because I hated that campaign that much. I couldn't believe the audacity they had to even say that. Since I'm writing this right now I'm going to assume that I didn't die because I didn't vote. Nobody came knocking on my door either threatening to kill me for not voting. Maybe I'm blowing this out of proportion, but maybe I'm not. So I guess I need to find out when the polls open so I can......whatever.

The Chase IV

So here I am again, talking about the chase. Maybe I should turn this topic into something much more in depth...like a book or something. Anyway, I'm at that uncomfortable spot where I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't have a boatload of prerequisites, but I want so much. I'm honestly ready to settle down, but not ready to settle. But the flip side of that is that I don't want someone who feels like they have to settle for me. So much goes into deciding if you want to spend your life with someone. I want to come home to someone who I know will ask me how my day went and so forth. When I was just in high school, a close friend of mine told me that where she was from, I would be seen as a king. Recently I've been told by a couple people that I am the total package. That boosts my ego, but at the same time humbles me. I know what they're saying, but I also know that I should be doing so much more. I don't see myself as the total package, but I still occasionally get chased. I have to admit; the chase can be more entertaining than the catch. I'm ready to move and I'm ready to chase. Maybe I need to take another trip to Georgia. Or maybe I should go to Texas. Chicago is always an option. Little Rock can be considered a vacation for me. I don't really know what I want anymore. I need a change of scenery. I should start a new chase; chasing my dreams.
