It’s the story of my life. ‘Please Try Again’. Every time I open a bottle of Mountain Dew, or get a candy bar or go to McDonalds. I don’t bother playing the lottery…

Elections are no different. I vote during every major election, usually. Do I get the candidate of choice? Not usually. Am I asking too much, or not enough of a realist, that the people I vote for are dreamers? Perhaps. I continue to vote anyway. I want to change the world. I am not capable of doing that on a personal level, so I do it by asking those who I vote for to carry my voice for me. I follow up by voicing my concerns once those that are elected are in office.

I want to see the world the way it makes sense to me, so I will continue to vote for those who best suit my ideas. Someday, maybe, it will move mountains. In the meantime I will keep looking under the caps of my Dew bottles…
