I’m calling it a night early because I’m actually excited to go vote tomorrow morning. I’m 23 and this will be my first time voting because of voter suppression my parents not mailing me my absentee ballot in 2012.

I know many of you don’t share my enthusiasm, but voting is important. Hell, I live in one of the redder states in the nation and that’s not gonna stop me from voting (though I did have to turn around a scan of my passport overnight because Kansas wasn’t convinced that I was a U.S. citizen).

While I’m outwardly a pessimist realist, I’m always hoping that I’ll be proven wrong. I want people to feel that they can express themselves without fear of retribution, I want to see us solve complex problems with critical thought, and I want people to fundamentally understand the common humanity that lies within us all

You all know I’m voting for Hillary, and I hope you will too, but it’s more important that you vote for the future that you believe in.

I know I am.

Please keep that youthful optimism. Our country needs it. I turn 50 in a week, and I’ve become a frustrated, pessimistic, cynical old fart.

One thing that always gets me down when I work is people going “why are you so cheerful?” and “oh, you’ll learn”. Same with ideals: we need optimists because they’ll want to push to make something happen, even if it seems impossible. Just

As a 36 year old frustrated, pessimistic, cynical slightly less old fart, I approve this message.

I’m only 30 and I’ve been a frustrated, pessimistic, cynical not-so-old fart for years.

Don’t lose that, kid. Seriously, don’t lose that.

Remember, the Trans-Ams (and Firebirds) will shepherd us to salvation. Maybe.

You mean you weren’t much better off in the 1950's? (kidding - we didn’t even have GTs and Vipers then and Corvettes really weren’t all that great in the 50's...)
