1776-2011 ~ Our Nation Turns 235

This coming weekend is the 235th anniversary of us gaining independence from the British, and all it took was a freaking war and the signing of a piece of paper stating our rights! Altogether, we have a well-founded country on our hands to this day, along with a way better theme song then Britain AND Canada combined. (Then again, even Full House has a better theme song then Canada.) So now, I present to you that theme song, as performed by Jimi Hendrix!!!!!





So, any of you have any special plans for the holiday weekend? I'm going to Maryland with my mom, my older sister, my two nephews and my niece. Feel free to discuss YOUR plans, why you're proud of this country and what makes you proud of it, etc. Enjoy. :3

I'm making cake!

I'm setting off explosives!

As is tradition. Are you setting off the REAL stuff that you have to smuggle into certain states, or the backyard sh*t like Roman Candles?

I'm not, the founding fathers would turn on their graves with our government screwing up our contery. But I'm either staying home and mom's grilling or going to my friends like last 2 years and shooting fireworks.

I celebrate our country, not our government.

But! I'm going to a family friend's house for a party, then going to my cousin's house in Illinois for a week. (so if I'm not on, that's why.)

I'm setting of REAL explosives! Missouri finest and Louisiana best! Paps is a truck driver so he always buys the good stuff around this time of year when out on runs. And of course we rarely get the cops called on us cause the neighbors like to watch too! XD

explosives are always more fun if you make em yourself. My personal favorite is when you take the heads off a bunch of matches and then shove them together in a pvc pipe.

Happy Canada day!

My Friend and Me would probably see Fireworks show, and don't think I could hit on her easily, since she is playing hard to get, dangnabit...

Dad's working, so I'm most likely going to do nothing. Maybe the neighbor will buy some fireworks I can set off with him down at the factory.

I'm in the fourth of July parade, and performing at the carnival (I hate the songs we're singing and I don't get a solo. grr) and probably decorating my garage, if my mom will let me.

I am home from my summer retreat early due to some family conflict. (I'll just leave it at that, unless anyone's curious enough to ask.) And now every time I see those dumbass "Rodney Saves" OC tourism ads, I wanna hauck a loogie at the f***ing TV screen. I DID get to see SOME fireworks this year and sleep in a hotel room for a day and a half, though...

aaw it sucks that you didnt get to do much ed D: and my cousins decided to leave early so i spent most of my 4th of july with my friend watching movies.

Every fourth of July, I abuse my constitutional right to blow shit up. This year, I blew up a tool shed, a car, a treehouse, a cow, and Sega of America. Plus, I burned all the grass on my lawn! (Okay, I may have paraphrased a bit there. )

Our neighbor has the landlords cracking down on all of us for fireworeks, so we did nothing. Not like I have pride for this damn hick-country, anyway.
