Election Night Tonight

leriaIt's election night and I have an essay due tomorrow and I literally CAN'T for the life of me write. So much do that I'm on here procrastinating.
I'm trying not to look at the election broadcast, not because it makes me nervous, but because I feel like it gives me too much adrenaline. Actually... I take it back, I am a little nervous.
If Ted Cruz wins tonight I am going to riot!!!! I hate that ugly, fat pig. If Donald Trump was running against him for Texas Senate, I'm sure as hell not voting for Ted Cruz. I honestly don't understand why people are still voting for him? He currently has a decent lead, but what has he done for us in the past six years? One thing is for sure, he let us freeze while he was off enjoying Cancun weather.
Politics aside, I hate living in Texas. I love my home town, but Texas as a whole could burn for all I care. Ted Cruz winning tonight will probably be my deciding factor on leaving the state, after I graduate.
I went to church with my sister Sunday morning, and I don't hate going to church (despite being an atheist) but the pastor just about made me want to pull my hair out. He ended off the service by saying,"I don't want to get political, but abortions go against god's word!"
I despite how a women's right to body autonomy is POLITICAL! How can you stand up in a church, lying a MORE than comfortable life, happy children, happy wife and all and say that stupid bull shit. That man has probably never had to struggle a day in his fucking life. What about the women born into abusive households, those born into abject poverty, those who don't have a say?? What's going to happen when another little girl is raped and they make her give birth? "So sorry you're going through this painful and traumatic event, but God said you can't kill babies."
Fuck that stupid piece of shit!
He kept going on and on, and even mentioned how he knows a lot of people in the audience are going to disagree with him, and we locked eyes as he said that.
That's the last time I go to church... Like I said, I don't mind going to church (I go with my mom to mass and with my sister and dad to their weird non-denominational one), but seeing how so many people (MEN) feel the need to use religion as a way to have power over women, I'm done with that bullshit. Believe what ever you want to believe in, but I'm gonna go hang my hat up.
I'll probably only go with my mom to Catholic mass from now on. I grew up Catholic so I honestly find mass to be comforting, like taking a step into the past. When we were little my mom would force us to go with her every Sunday morning, and If we behaved she would buy us ice cream from DQ right after. I guess you could say I have a bit of an attachment to Catholicism even though I find it a bit implausible that there is a God.
Let me get back to working on my essay.....
