Look Something Shiny - Adventures of a Portlander

believing really hard

Today is a very important day. About half of the voting country will go to bed really happy, and about half of the voting country will go to bed really freakin’ pissed off. Which half will you belong to? Better stay up and find out!

I mean, you may as well… It’s not every day that we decide the fate of our nation, right?

Of course, this wouldn’t be a legitimate blog without gratuitous voting pictures of Jed and me…

NycoVotes

(Notice I’m wearing red, white, and blue. TOTALLY on purpose.)

JedVotes

(Jed’s wearing his American flag boxers today. I would post a picture, but I know how his hairy chest gets to my sister. So I won’t. Unless the rest of you ask really nicely in the comments section. Then I’ll consider it. Just a warning, though: You’ll have to deal with my sister potentially barfing all over you.)

It took me 15 minutes to fill out my ballot, 20 minutes to walk into downtown, and about 10 seconds to put my piece of history in the drop box. Could they make voting in Oregon any easier?

Now let’s just see if we get our way. Jed and I have been threatening to move to Canada if McCain/Palin win the election. Please, America!, don’t call our bluff, okay? Because we just might do it. I hear Vancouver, BC is beautiful…

Voting stories you’d like to share? Reasons why/not you voted? As we all know, we’re entitled to a say!

    :) It is an amazing day. I have not felt such hope because of a politician ever. Even though I don’t agree with every issue; simply the idea of change, something new, and trying those pie in the sky ideas gets me very excited!.

    It was awesome to talk about our choices last night and to vote today. I hope everyone that reads this voted. Please Vote!!

    And since I know your sister is just too shy to ask…

    Ah my dear sweet liberal friends. No votes have been officially counted yet but let me first to congratulate you on your imminent electoral victory. I think it’s a foregone conclusion at this point unless McCain pulls a miracle out of ass. Barack ain’t my guy but I wish him well! Of course it would be nice to be able to come visit you in Vancouver!

    Mail me some chest hair and I will tape it to Nyco’s door!
