>So here’s this poll. 38 percent of people polled said they were upset over the presidential results. 51 voted for the guy, that leaves a good chunk that accept the decision. Is it actually official yet? Do they stop counting when he concedes? I’m not sure.

The biggest problems with voting, from people I’ve spoken with were:

• the distance to get to the place where they were registered
  

• many were unsure of where they were supposed to go to vote
  

• they had never actually registered to begin with
  

• they hadn’t registered when they renewed their license, so they were still registered at the original location (in many of my friend’s cases) or previous location of registration
  

• belief in the electoral system, couting on their state to vote for them
  

• their licence didn’t match registered address, figured they wouldn’t be allowed
  

In all it was a large jumble of confusion, all this talk about needing ID, multiple voting places in cities, and if they’d get in trouble or not be allowed to vote if their address didn’t match the one on their license. They didn’t want to get caught in their various lies or be guilty of laziness — having not yet changed over their license.

The above paragraph was inspired by the DJs on WCCC in the afternoon. They were discussing why the intern didn’t vote.

I didn’t even think of that aspect, but I overheard someone talking and that was the reason they gave. I hadn’t even thought of that, and I suppose that many of the poorer population refrained for similar reasons, transportation, and many other liberties and abilities the conservatives with money take for granted.

I need to stop grinding my teeth when I concentrate and/or sleep. I used to bite my tongue, to chew on it when I was thinking really hard on a task at hand. I’ve since evolved into clenching my teeth together to hold my tongue, or when I’m concentrating I’ll bite the two canines on the right that touch first when I close my jaw. Maybe it’s the slight jolt through the nerves when I do it. I’m not sure why I do it.

The enamel is starting to wear and I can feel it grow more and more sensitive. Apparently I grind my teeth when I sleep as well. Not all the time, but when I’m particularly pashnukah’d.

That was my introspective thought. If you’ve seen “Adaptation”:

“I’ve got to stop sweating, stop sweating, stop.”
