celebrating independence!

Yesterday was the 4th of July, a day of great import to the history of the United States.  Tommy J. completed his draft of the Declaration of Independence, AKA Georgie, go f*** yourself, and we New World colonists went out for a round of Sam Adams and shot off some Big Cat fireworks.  So, in keeping with such grand tradition I spent the evening part of yesterday nursing some pale summer ales and watching a colorful sky show put on by the neighbors.  I think it’s also appropriate to mention, and somehow foretelling of the direction this country’s headed these days, that my Independence day supper was a delicious chorizo quesadilla followed up with some teensy burgers (sliders in TGI Friday talk).  Really, it was a great day.  Happy America!

Here’s one for the old times

I made it. I’m in a higher institute of learning up in Maine.

Japanese is my favorite course, Calculus my least favorite.

What day’s better than Birthday?

It’s true, I’ve completed another 12 month cycle of being alive. A lot of people consider this year to be an extraordinarily ordinary one in the scroll of birthdays, but coming to the end of adolescence to me is a pretty big deal. Not that I suddenly expect to become some mature adult citizen of the world after these next 12 months or anything, it’s just that I’ll probably feel like I should be more actively working towards becoming one. Perhaps. So for me this is the last hoorah, the last year of giving no regard to social responsibilities and not caring one bit. Although that too will likely go unchanged after I’m aged two decades. Meh, whatevs.

Having just finished my birthday MoonPie, I think I’m going to set up the ol’ PS2 and play some Gitaroo Man.
