At least 30 states have allowed voters to cast their ballots early, and lines to vote before election day have people waiting up to two hours. With voter registration having more than doubled, what has the rest of the 50 states not allowing their citizens to vote early? I live in New York City, and I can’t imagine what the lines are going to be like on Novemeber 4th. I got up early four years ago to vote thinking I might have to wait, and while there were people ahead of me, there was no line. This year will definitely be different, especially because NYC is one of those states that does not allow early voting. I certainly hope that every vote will count on Election Day ‘08. I plan to get up early again this year, and I defintiely expect to see a line. I think I might just cover all the long lines around the city, and ask people how they feel the city could’ve handled the expected surge in voter turn out, and you know in this town everyone’s a critic so someone will defintiely have a gripe.

Don Cornelius was arrested on Friday night for domestic violence. Seriously, Mr. Cornelius? I know you must be mad that Soul Train  was canceled, but you shouldn’t take your anger out on other people! Violence isn’t the way, and only adds to your problems. Looks like being a bitch is one of them…

Sister Cecilia has lived in a convent in Rome, Italy for the past 50 years and says she inspried to vote for Senator Barack Obama. For people who feel as though their vote don’t count, this 106 year old nun is voting via absentee ballot despite not having “plans for the future” she keeps up with the election on television and in newspapers. I hope this story compels people, those who are much younger than this woman especially, to vote. Your vote does count, everybody counts.

 Oral sex has been linked to throat cancer. Please, protect yourselves out there. No matter what typed of sex your having, it’s very important to use condoms.

Last night, I dragged my friend with me to a party at the Hiro Ballroom called Malibu Noche Blanca sponsored by Malibu Rum and hosted by Jaslene from America’s Next Top Model. First, I’ll explain that I don’t usually go to a lot of parties nor am I a photographer. I just felt inspried by the atmosphere to take photos and I always take my camera with me, just in case. Second, Jaslene makes a lame hostess. Third, The party was great. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. Although that might’ve been from the Malibu waitresses handing out free mixed drinks with, of course, Malibu Rum. The DJs played raggae, raggaeton, and raggaeton mixes that got everyone dancing, even thugs in the place. I ran into a dude I that works Vibe magazine. I was glad he recognized seeing as I was just a lowly intern when I worked their. We met some skater guys who were really gorgeous. On our way home we walked slow from our heels hurting our feet, and we took our shoes off while standing at a busstop (sans lollipop) to relieve our feet. Well, the bus came as we were both barefoot, and we ran for it on the cool, wet street. Oh yeah, it drizzled last night, too. Back to the party. Here are some photos that I took of last night:

Forgotten drinks left in the seating area.

My friend Parice

Nice, pretty woman. Check the boots!

They came with skateboards. lol

They even skated a bit.

Cutie

Party revelers

I want this for my room. Please, someone steal it for me.

All in all, it was a great night. My friend and I danced with people we’ve never met and probably won’t meet again, drank free drinks, and killed our feet with heels.

WTF! And by a stand in fighter, at that!
