so this week is spring break and i'm not really  doing anything special just trying to relax. I did however at least do something fun over the weekend that i just have to post online.

So i went with Tammy and a group of her friends to Fort Wayne on saturday to celebrate a guys birthday. On our way to Fort Wayne we stopped in Van Wert and ate at Sonic. Can i just say amazing normaly fast food is fast food and its nothing special but Sonic is amazing i loved it . their slushes are amazing!! Well anyway thats enough about food.

So we went out to a couple clubs in Fort Wayne and that is where the fun starts. We went to this first club, called Flashbacks. This club is a cool place where they play all 70's and 80's music it was really fun. While we were there i was of course not dancing because we all know i dont dance untill i drink a lot. anyway i was standing outside of the dance floor watching Tammy and her girfriends dance when all of a sudden i feel like someone is standing next to me. I turn around to see this MIDGET woman who looked about 40 y/o who then asks me to dance. Now first of all i was pretty much speechless, i was like oh..... ummmmm..... I don't think my girlfriend would like that too much. she was like oh ok and walked away. I couldnt believe what happened, i mean first of all i have never been asked by a woman to dance at a club, 2nd i have never been asked by a midget, let alone one who was like 40 years old. Now i do have to say that she may not have been an actual midget. She was however no more than 4 foot tall. It was crazy!!

anyway after awhile we decided to leave this club and go to another one called piere's. This is a huge club. It is one building that has like 5 different clubs inside of it. you have a cool like main stage area where they were having live music, and then two dance clubs one that is pretty cool and then another that is more ghetto. then they have a kareoke and a sports bar.  it was pretty cool. and then to make it even more fun while we were there Tammy pointed out that the MIDGET was there. Yep the same midget that asked me to dance had followed me to this new club. I laughed and then decided i was going to get a picture of this little person, after zach asked for one. Well too bad cell phone camera pictures suck, b/c if they didnt i would have a nice picture of the 40y/o midget that asked me to dance.
So that was my funny story about clubbing in Fort Wayne

Then Sunday morning we all went to IHOP for breakfast and can i just say that their shortcake pancakes are amazing!! anyway while we were there the girls said that they some guy that was on the real world like in 2001 or something like that. They said his name was "The Miz" and that he was from Parma ohio. Whatever i have never watched the real world so i had no idea if this was him or not. Whatever it was funny watching them freak out.

Well thats about it for now other than everyone should go out and vote tomorrow in the Primary it should be interesting to see the results of tomorrow since once again ohio is an important state in the electoral process.

Well i turned 22 yesterday, nothing really seems that different from being 21. only difference is that im closer to being 25 and getting lower car insuracne rates. So i had a fun birthday, I started celebrating early this year oh well who care not me. I spent Thursday night with two friends, one was a little unexpected but still fun. I went out to dinner w/ my friend sara, it was great. i dont think i have been out somewhere to dinner if forever and you all know how much i like food. It was a fun night we went to carraba's and Josh was our waiter. i just cant handle him being so nice and polite, its just not the josh who i know.

Lets see friday i went out with Mitch and Zach, wow what a fun night; right guys?? it was a memorable one. not only did we celebrate my birthday but some manly stuff as well. Lets just say i watched my little brother zach grow up and thats all im gonna say.

Saturday i didnt do much, i was really tired from the night b4 stupid 4am bed times. anyway went to the UT homecoming parade and sweated my balls off. its not supposed to be 90 on my birthday ever thats why i like having a fall b-day. oh well. I got to watch the Tri Delts float get destroyed by a tree, well acctually the float did take a piece of the tree with it. which is prolly a bad thing now Carty will come after us UT students for destroying a tree that belongs to the city.  anyway that made the parade bareable.  BTW i want to thank my buckeyes for winning on my birthday that makes me feel special lol.....

alright enough for now

so today was constitution day, and today at school we had speakers get up and talk about the constitution specifically the right to vote. well guess who got asked to speak, Yeah it was me, big suprise there i mean you all know i dont shut up some times. anyway i just thought it would be cool of me to post my little speech so you could all be cool like the people who heard me on campus today. here it is enjoy everyone!

 

My senior year of high school my democracy teacher gave a homework assignment unlike any other I have ever had. The assignment was to register to vote. Compared to the papers and projects I was used to this seemed quite an easy task, fill out a paper, sign it and turn it in. I didn't even have to mail it; my teacher took care of that. Could there be an easier assignment?

 

Unlike most homework as soon as you finish the work you are done with that assignment forever this one is a little different. When you become a registered voter it should be taken as a life long commitment. Registering to vote is only half the assignment, you have to actually go out and do it. Voting to me is a power, which we all have the ability to use; we just have to choose to use it.

 

People often say "Why should I vote, I'm just one person, my vote couldn't possibly matter"

 

Well let me ask you this how many of us have had to scrounge around for change in our cars to pay for gas, or that late night trip to Taco Bell? We search high and low for every last penny we can find just to get enough for that taco at 3am.  Well just like those pennies that don't seem to have much value by themselves, added together they get us our late night snack, just like our one vote may not seem like it matters. But added together with the votes of others it can get us what we want, only this time instead of a taco at 3am, it's a leader or a say on an important issue.

 

That same teacher from high school once said that every American has the ability to overthrow the government if they so choose. You can do this every time there is an election. You go in cast your vote and that is your little rebellion.  Now this does seem a little strange but it is true. If you don't like the way the government is doing something then you have the ability to influence the change of the government.

 

Voting is something I am very passionate about, I think everyone should do it, they have the right and it is pure stupidity to let that right go to waste.  It is very easy for someone to sit around and complain all day about how the government is doing this or that, well the easiest way to change that is to get up and vote for a change.

 

I would like to leave you with one last thought:  "Don't be one of those people that sit back and complain all day about how they disapprove of the government.  Get up and do something about it; vote; change leadership, when you have made the effort to do that, then you have earned the right to complain.
