When I listen to an album of music, I want some things from that music. These things will determine my opinion of the album (or CD, or whatever you want to call it.) I want to be impressed by the musicianship of the performer. I want lyrics to tell me a story. I want to see creativity (I love it when a band steps out of the box that they are usually placed in.) Above all, however, I want to be moved by an album. I want it to take me somewhere. Maybe multiple places.
This is the reason why I love Jason Mraz' new CD. It's called "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things" and it is phenomenal!
Good ol' Jason has always impressed me with his vocal talent, witty lyrics, and creative instrumentation, and he doesn't fail to do the same on this one. But the most impressive thing is that he takes the listener on a journey in every song... I'll let you find out where when you buy the CD, but trust me, you will not be disappointed. It's all you would expect from Mr. A-Z and more.

My absentee ballot that doesn't count....
....shall be cast in favor of...
This guy.
I do find it ironic by the way, that the soldiers can vote, but their vote actually means nothing in actually deciding the politicians who may ultimately decide their fate. All because Americans are too stupid impatient to wait for a batch of ballots to be overnighted...
duh.
Our country is ridiculous sometimes.
Anyways, on to my explanation of why I'm voting for Mr. Obama. Then those of you Christians reading this who are starting to pick up axes and guns can put them down, because I assure you, voting republican is no more "Christian" than killing a man. Because ultimately that's what you did by putting a gun-toting redneck in office (sorry, i had to...)
Honestly, when looking at the line up of candidates, my initial thought was "why bother?"
But then I would be able to label myself as a hypocrite, because I'm always harping on people who don't vote. So I NEED to vote for someone. Hence my problem.
So I'm voting for Obama, simply because he is the least annoying of the group.
That's it. No particular philosophical reason or anything. He's just least ridiculous.
It is a sad day, me thinks, when Josh Graber can't find a good reason to side with or against a politician.
Ladies and gentlemen of the USA, I may never come home.
