I had a chance to be part of a democratic process, and i blew it!!

So, a week ago they announced the Triple J top 100 albums of all time, they played the last 20 albums, in their entirety, it was great listening to them, but i could have voted, over 47k people did, i could have been a part of it, but i didn't, ladies and gentlemen, let me explain.


You see, i have never voted in my life, never, not once, i never watched big brother, i never voted people out of the house, i might have voted with my feet (both of them) the odd time, but that was about it!


But when they started playing the top 20 albums, it was too late to vote, D' Oh!!

Democracy passed me, i could have been part of it, but i have learnt my lesson, and others learnt quite a bit too, mainly as to why people voted and why bands got selected over other bands, check it out


It seems that asking people if they listen to Triple J, is a very good way to understand what kind of people your dealing with, it would seem that people that listen to Triple J are NOT assholes, so it's been great in Queensland, everybody listens to Triple J, and long may democracy reign, but it will be, better luck next time as far as i'm concerned, the next time i will vote, i might be a citizen too, and i'll probably have to vote, it's the law, vote or get fined, and i'm fine with that.
