In school Monday morning I was sitting in my Community College and was treated to Barack Obama making a speech about the importance of voting. No...wait.... he was at the local ball park, and that's not till Thursday. That's not Barack Obama!! That's the academy award winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr. of Snow Dogs. I waited (kind of excitedly with a just came out of my moving picture box kind of feeling) to see him come down the stairs and give a very surprisingly inspired speech about voting. He than rallied the students to come with him across the street to the county building to vote (you can vote early in Ohio). I watched as about 300 students followed him out and across the street to vote. This may sound cheesy but it made me feel good about America, and gave me a little more hope that we can still make a difference. Me and Copper (my school/work cohort) discussed briefly of slapping Cuba as he passed us telling him "that was for Boat Trip, and you know you deserved it" but he had bodyguards and a academy award that no matter how much shower motivated best director acceptance speeches (I'd like to thank all the girls I've loved before) that will never have one. Well maybe not.
