Reflections on Election

Okay, I feel the need to get this out now, because if I don't, way into the future my enemies will discover this tidbit about my life and raise it up as an example of my hypocraisy or evilness or whatever (By the way, I don't really believe I have enemies, I'm not crazy, just silly). *Deep breath* I didn't vote this year! Whew, glad to get that off my chest.

In order to better understand why I didn't vote, you might want to refer back my post about the excellent level of service at the RMV. You may think me cowardly, but I have yet to go back and try again to get my license, and at the same time, register to vote.

Now, I knew that the elections were coming up, and that I really ought to get around to getting registered so I could do my civic duty in my new town, but I really didn't care. This may sound like an excuse, but I didn't feel qualified to vote for governor, because I hadn't lived under the previous one, so don't really know her record of service, and don't really know what issues would affect my community most. Plus, I am far more interested in national politics than local ones, and Taylor ended up being the one to follow the governor's election.

I know, I know. The election was for the Senate and the House as well, but come on, do you really think Ted Kennedy and John Kerry wouldn't win? I didn't even see either one attempt to campaign.

I wasn't very happy the Democrats took the House and nearly took the Senate. But now they have a chance to do whatever it is they're gonna do (they are so vague on the whole national security thing. All I've heard is "We'll do it better than Bush!") and at work I'll finally be on offense instead of defense. Now I can be the one to complain about the eneptness of the current Congress! So you see, good can come from all things.

Football Party of Two

The Pats vs. The Colts

Tonight's game with the Patriots and the Colts is creating quite a buzz around here. Now, I'm not much of a football fan, but even I plan to tune in tonight for two very good reasons: Tom Brady and Payton Manning. The NFL has been hyping the clash of these two quarterback titans, and I thought I'd add my two cents based on my unique qualifications as a girl.

This is Tom Brady. Now, Tom is an all around good-looking guy. So good-looking, in fact, that even men will admit that he's attractive. Now if there's one thing I can say about football, it is that it, er, accentuates most men's physical attributes in a postive way.

However, Tom does come off across like a total player, meaning that as fun as he is to watch on T.V., he definately isn't relationship material. But since my only contact with him will be through television, I can work around that.

Now, here's a boy I would be more than happy to take home to Mama.


Payton Manning may not be move-star hot, but he is the essence of cutie-patootie! Payton exudes good old fashioned southern charm with a great sense of humor. Plus, he's sweet to his mama, and you know what they say: boys who are good to their mamas are good to their wives. Not that that really matters either, because once again, this is strictly a one-sided relationship.

I can't really think of anything negative to say about Payton. I'd really like to believe he's a wholesome as he appears, but my cynical side says he's probably just as big a player as Tom Brady, he just doesn't dress as sexy. But he has great commercials!

I'm sure there are some points I've missed about both men, like their abilities as players, but I think my analysis pretty much sums up what's most important. So who do I want to win in the big game? Who cares? When it comes to attractive football stars, both are winners in my book.
