It's really interesting to see which US issues are important to the international community and I think a lot of you who read LJ will appreciate the variety.

I had an interview today at 9:15 am.  An interview that never happened.  I waited in the lobby for half an hour.  The problem was, the girl scheduling my interview over the phone never gave me a contact name or number.  When i arrived to the "west lobby" entrance of the DMV hq, I had no way of contacting the department who scheduled my interview.  I was trapped, fingers crossed that someone would care enough to check for me in the lobby.  NOoOOOO LUCK.

Now i'm like beating myself in the head because I KNOW i should've asked her for the information, I just blanked because usually they offer it.  But I have nowhere to complain.  Where do you lodge a complaint when you don't know the who/what/where?  It's mostly lame because i actually showed up.  And, early!  Mother fuckers don't know what they're missing.

LONG STORY FUCKING SHORT++  GET YOUR DAMN CONTACT INFORMATION SO YOU DON'T GET STUCK IN A LOBBY+++++++++

I don't know why i'm so pissed over this.  I'm acting like a baby.  I think it's cause i'm tired.  I went home hella early from poker but that fucking INVIGA i drank at 10 kept me awake till goddamn 2 am.   Probably that and the several diet pepsis i drank at Kazbah.

at least bleach is 54 percent downloaded.  WOOHOO.  Joblessness is amazing.

My name is Jake and I'm 22 years old.  I'm most likely voting for one of you two in the elections this year.  A lot of people I meet my age are interested in either one of you or the other.  It's a toss up whether they'll actually show up to vote.  People my age are disenchanted with politics which require so much thinking and research and time, really.  Especially this generation.  We've grown up ADD and I'm afraid wind up judging people mostly on first impressions.  We don't only want a strong candidate with a strong message we want a fun, animated human being.  We want you to tell it straight and be BLUNTLY HONEST.  Are you what you claim?  We don't know you.  You are expecting us to arrive at election day, informed and ready to chose, you, or you and you have less than a year to get us out of our seats.  I challenge you to do it.  I don't think you can.  To get our vote you're going to have to be new and creative and neither of you have shown any interest in utilizing the vast openness of the internet and pop culture to swing the vote.

I want you to win, I will help you win, but you need to light the fire.

Thanks for listening and if there is anything you need, just hollar.

ps.  don't let ron paul beat you.
