I turned 20 last Friday. I didn't really make a big deal about it. For some reason I didn't want to do any sort of celebrating at all. I'm certainly not enjoying this prospect of growing older.

Today was a crappy ass day. I was thinking about writing a lot about it and how I feel and shit, but now I don't feel like it. To sum up:
- I woke up and went to work only to find out that they weren't going to let me.
- My HD decided to up and corrupt itself into an unfixable state, forcing me to diassemble it, and now it won't even power on.
- My parent's computer has also decided to go screwey on me as well, first with that MSBlaster bullshit and now it also has corruption problems as well.
- To top my day off, my parents were arguing about some dumb shit and now they're mad at each other, but I'll see where that goes. Its not really my business anymore, now that I'm older.

This day has made my summer go down the crapper. I actually want to goto work tomorrow just so I don't have to think about shit, for a few hours at least.

Arnold is running for governor! Thats pretty cool. I'll vote for him. I know it seems trite to say you're going to vote for someone, especially because he's just Arnold but I think he'd make for a good governor, not just because he was Terminator. Which, by the way, was a very good third part and I recommend watching it. Plus, Claire Danes is in it and she's cute.

At any rate, my mom wants me to vote for Gray Davis and put him back into office, or keep him there, because she says that he's been good to state employees (she works for CalTrans) but I'll still vote for Arnold. Aside from the fact that he's Ah-Nuld. Last election he was the main proponent of that afterschool initiatives proposition that passed and provided funding for afterschool programs to keep kids off the streets. Plus, Arnold is Austrian and anytime you see him on TV doing interviews and stuff he always talks about how he came from a foreign country and believed that by coming to America he could become successful and obviously he did that. I like that about him, the fact that he still sees America as the land of opportunity and that the American Dream is still something that is attainable. I think that if he is put into office he'll bring a sort of idealistic outlook on things to California politics and though that may sound bad that he has no experience as to how things really work, his beliefs and work ethic will take him far. I think he'd be the kind of guy who'd be willing to try radical things, even though he is Republican. Maybe I'm just trying to justify voting a movie star into office.
