My Barack the Vote 2008 Experience

Worked from home so I could go to the polls at what I thought would be an optimal time. Figured if I went at 10ish, I'd miss those going b4 work and beat those voting during lunch.

My thoughts were wrong. The line was hella long, wrapped around the culdisac, and absolutely no where to park. So I went back home. Worked for another 2 hours, then tried again @ 12:30PM. Got there was able to park and the line was slightly shorter, only half way around the culdisac.

There were so many blk ppl and a sprinkle of white at my polling center (Upper Marlboro, MD St Mary of Assump School). Young, old, first time voters, and parents who brought there kids to take part in the process. There was one kid as young as an infant. When she's old enough, I'm sure her parents will share with her how she was there for this historic election. Oh and there was this one dude, that had his hair cut like a curving road with the front dyed red, i guess to match his red Jesse sally Raphael rimed glasses. He don't have to worry bout nobody having a cut like him. All I could do was laugh and shake my head.

And contrary to the rumors, ppl were rocking their Obama gear. The the t-shirts that stuck out to me were the ones these kids were wearing as they watched their parents vote which said: "Tell yo mama, vote Obama!

Despite who you may have voted for today, good for you for getting out there and having your voice heard. Although I'm looking for CHANGE, no matter what happens by the end of the day HISTORY will be made!!!!
