Fall back...Country forward...

It is early. My body, once again, decided it was time to get moving. Of course, I thought it was only 4:30am versus the time change time of 3:30am. Damn. I forgot and now my early rising seems...earlier. I had one of those odd, too real to be a dream, dreams tonight. I would rather not go into the details.

So, I have been trying to do something that instills droopy eyelids. Reading usually does that for me. I went online and started flipping through some favorite sites. All I accomplished, however, was the emotion of what I was reading. Pretty much frustration and confusion. I should have picked something a little less exciting to read about. I have tried and been successful really, to keep my personal political views out of the context within this page. Personal politics is just that. Deeply personal and I have not been one (usually) to enforce my personal viewpoints or that of a spiritual nature on any one. If they ask me, I will answer. But it is not my place to walk up to someone on the street and inform them they are wrong. Life is about choice. The information is there for those who choose to seek it. It is a fine line, nevertheless, and have found myself crossing it on several occasions. Like now, I am balancing the white, toe to heel.

My belief has varied over the years. Well, mostly when I was young(er). The last 10 I would say, I have been positive and strong in them. My vote hasn't budged and it still does not. It is where my core values lie. I can't look past that because of a particular temporary issue that may not fit with what I am doing today. I can't vote for someone that I know nothing about either. Uninformed decisions, are a fool's diary, one that I have a few entries in myself.

I am ready for this election to be done. Ready for the media to get down of their convenient pedestal of enforced personal opinions, and see if this country, that seems so massive, minute [3,adjective], united and divided, can elect someone of conviction and substance. I honestly fear what will happen to this country of independence, which was the reason it was created to begin with, elects someone that is so blatantly manipulative and self serving. Somewhat of a puppet master, if you will.

I am restraining at this point and feel I need to stop before I go any further. All I can say, is that I hope the decisions made this Tuesday will be informed ones.
