I make a point to avoid talking about certain topics on this blog, including politics. This self-imposed rule comes despite a great interest in the topic. I avoid it for the simple reason that I just don't want to open up that can of worms here. Today, however, I wanted to make an exception to say a few words.
It was two years ago (give or take about a month) that I decided who I wanted to be the next President. For two years I've followed the news, watched the debates, and read the polls. For two years I've waited for this day, and today I stepped outside my apartment, walked the short distance to my polling location, and exercised my right to make an official, counted (hopefully!) declaration for who I thought should be the next President of the United States.
As silly or cliché as it may sound, all I can really think to say is this: I love my country.
