Today you voted

A powerful Senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
“Welcome to heaven,” says St. Peter. “Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you.”
“No problem, just let me in,” says the senator.
“Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from the higher up. What we’ll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.”
“Really, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,” says the senator.
“I’m sorry, but we have our rules.”
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes.
They are all having such a good time that before the senator realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises.
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him. “Now it’s time to visit heaven.”
So, a day passes with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by, and St. Peter returns.
“Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity.”
The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: “Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.”
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
Now the doors of the elevator open, and he’s in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above. The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders.
“I don’t understand,” stammers the senator. “Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there’s just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?”
The devil smiles at him and says, “Yesterday we were campaigning…
“Today, you voted.”

It has been so long since i did any change with my blog. I’m inspired to do a new layout and hopefully my computer won’t act up on me while i’m coding and designing because there’s a lot of designs that i want to do. At the moment though, i’m using the default theme, i’m fixing it because this is going to be my base layout for all the themes that i’ll be doing from now on. Also, I got a couple of new plugins when i was just looking for one in particular. Might as well share them with you.

  • AJAX Comment Preview
    Click Button Coment Preview which filters content through WordPress filters. Inspired by Bitflux GmbH via Jeff Minard. Requires SACK. By Michael D Adams.
  • Comment Timeout
    Automatically closes comments on blog entries after a user-configurable period of time. It has options which allow you to keep the discussion open for longer on older posts which have had recent comments accepted, or to place a fixed limit on the total number of comments in the discussion. By James McKay.
  • Inline AJAX Page
    A simple to use plugin that allows you to use ajax to retrieve post and comment contents as well as the add comment box in-line for your users. This plugin also submits the comment box using AJAX. For those that don’t have javascript it displays links as usual. This plugin does not require that you set any options, but is almost infinitely customizable. By Aaron Dowden.

Today is the National Elections so i woke up early to vote. 8am is early for me. It was a good thing that the alarm on my cellphone woke me up because i usually ignore it in my dreams and go back to sleep. I don’t usually want to talk about elections because it makes me want to shave my head. :nyu: Well, yeah, it’s a topic i usually try not to avoid. But yeah, election. That’s it.

Last night i called mom because i forgot to the other night. I desperately needed to talk to her because i want to know who else she wants to vote for. She’s in San Francisco, she left there this morning and will be home tomorrow morning. My list had 8 senatorial candidates and i asked her if there’s anyone else she wanted to vote for, since she can’t vote, i don’t want to waste the spaces i had. Plus, i don’t know who to vote for in the vice mayor and councilors category. I don’t really know the locals. In the end, my list was complete.

This year’s election seems to be peaceful compared to the previous elections. I’m not sure with the other places but everything seems to be fine and there’s just petty problems in some areas. COMELEC surely was strict today. The streets are cleaner and there aren’t any person distributing sample ballots near the school. The day isn’t over yet so i’ll just pray that everything goes really well.

Since i’m done watching my Heroes DVD the other day, i tried the site that Felisa (savvie from Wickeds MB) shared with me. TV Links is a really cool site. You can watch any TV series you want for free! The con is that it takes a long time to load, which was a bummer because since my Heroes DVD had only 19 episode, i tried watching episode 20 because i can’t wait to find out what happens. It took me almost 4 hours and it was more or less half of the episode. I paused it so it can load more but when i tried playing it again, the sounds were cut. My computer was acting out and i couldn’t figure out what to do with it so i had no choice but to close it. Too bad. Oh well, i just have to wait for the new seasons to come out on DVD and pray that my supplier will let me exchange it.

Since i had other DVD series to watch, i tried Roswell, though i didn’t really think i’d like it, which i did after watching season one’s first episode. I currently have season one to three, i think. I just wish it’s worth it. I think it would be since i like anything. So i’m not really into the alien thing but i like fictional stuff. And Izzie of Grey’s Anatomy is there too. Weee.. :angel:

So yeah, i’m off to code my new layout.
