STRESSED BUT NOT OUT
I sat next to someone at a Meeting today and we talked about what is going on with the election.
This guy, who I respect a lot as a smart, engaged guy, is all laid back about all of it.
He came up with the 'it doesn't matter' attitude.
Doesn't matter?
Fucking A it matters.
How do smart, healthy people stay laid back about this?
I don't get it.
Well, I know that I am more 'into it' than a lot of people. My whole house is 'into it'. Even Franklin tried to vote February 5th.
I am nervous about the primary tomorrow. I am anxious about the Democrats not aiming the gun at their own foot again. I am ready to get all excited again when the primaries are over. No matter who wins. Really.
But I know that the last time I actually made myself sick over the outcome. Bush.
So I want to temper my engagement. I am trying to keep a good balance for myself.
But goddamit! I want my guy to win!
