Vote!

I’m actually registering to vote for the first time ever. Sure I could have 6 years ago, but I didn’t pay any attention to politics then; this is the first time that I’ve felt strongly enough about it to actually pay attention and vote.

I used Rock The Vote to fill out my registration form. I recommend it over the standard register to vote site. With Rock The Vote they give you the form right away while on the other site they want you to read what’s practically a dissertation on who is allowed to vote (which most people already know) before you get to the form. Plus Rock The Vote lets you fill out the form online (you still have to print, sign, and mail it of course). If you click the Rock The Vote banner in my sidebar the form will pop up and you can fill it out right away.

I’m supporting Ron Paul by the way. While I have my doubts that he will make it past the primary, I’m still giving him my 1up.

In other news, I hate Blogger! I don’t even know if this will publish. Wordpress.com is looking more appealing all the time. Every time I try to post a blog or update my layout I get “your blog is taking to long to publish…” and every time I have to retry repeatedly. What turns me off about Wordpress though is that I can’t have “real” Wordpress because my host is my ISP and they don’t support MySQL and I can’t afford to pay for hosting. With hosted Wordpress.com you can’t edit your css without paying to do so, I think that would really bug me. Actually with the updates Comcast is making I may want to migrate away from their hosting anyway.

I should be studying for finals.
