DON'T HAVE TIME

I wanted to write something interesting, intriguing, and stimulating. But the only thing that keeps running through my head is Liz Phair's song, "Don't Have Time". So I'll share that with you!

Take a look around
This is what it's now
It's a little bridge now, baby
It's a little bridge now
Just a photograph
Kinda makes me laugh
It's a little kid now, baby
Some little kid

If I could solve your problems
What do you think I would be
One stupid seagull picking styrofoam up out of the sea?
Don't have time
Don't have time
Don't have time for all your problems
Why don't you solve them?

Take a look around
This is what it's now
It's a little bridge now, baby
It's a little bridge now
Just a photograph
Kinda makes me laugh
It's a little kid now
Pudgy, dumb little kid

If I could solve your problems
What do you think I would see?
All of my beautiful banquet receipts have been laid out for me
It's been played out for me

Don't have time for your fear, and your tea, and your queer little feats
And your joy, and your sweet little boy
And you're trapped in your sphere
I'm sorry but no one's home

I couldn't hear you, and now I think I've lost you
I could've made it easier and you would think that's good
Don't remember feeling older any worse than feeling wooden and alone
Wooden and alone

What I don't have time for is listening to nonsensical reasons why people are choosing not to vote for Obama. For example, my best friend said that she's going to write Hillary Clinton's name in on her absentee ballot. I replied, "She's not a candidate!" She said, "She will be after I write her name in." The conviction in her reasoning made me sick to my stomach. Mind you, it was way too early and I hadn't even eaten yet. I told her, "If you want to waste your ink, go right ahead. That'll at least be one less vote for McCain." 

But the reality is that she is not the only person with this "strategy" in mind. People, people, people! Hillary Clinton has moved on! When will you? Election day is steadily approaching and the choices we make on that day stand to affect this country for at least the next 4 years. Make wise choices and vote for someone that is ACTUALLY a Presidential candidate!  

Like Liz Phair said, "Don't have time for all your problems? Why don't you solve them?"

Whatever problems you may have with Barack Obama, solve them before November 4th and VOTE SMART AND FROM THE HEART!!!
