Nada mucho here. My ma and I are gonna watch the fireworks tonight from the parking lot near our place. It's a heckuva lot easier than going all the way to the park... Watched The Terminal and Bridget Jones 2 this weekend; both were quite enjoyable.
A few Independence day thought from "America (The Book)" by the Daily Show folks (sorry, I'm too lazy to go through the effort of underlining and italicizing this paragraph properly):
"In seventeen hundred and seventy-six The Declaration of Independence was signed-ix"
"If you are going to sever ties to your Commonwealth through bloody struggle, it is considered polite to write down why."
"Still, knowing the inherent contradiction between their noble words and the reality of a slave-owning nation, Jefferson and the Founders wisely decided to strike....the phrase "or your money back."
"The Founding Fathers could now retire back to their respective states, knowing that all that was left to achieve was for their untrained militias to engage and defeat the most powerful empire the world had ever seen."
Happy Independence Day!
