Whoot. I get to sit in the heat, get bitten by massive bugs and listen to overrated music while watching the same fireworks I did last year.
Well, as long as Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" is played, I'll be happy enough.
Happy (almost) 4th of July!

I guess in exchange for my freedom, I must listen to one week of annoying fireworks.
Oh, well... Happy United States Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day, I hope you all remember if it wasn't for Will Smith, you'd be all held captive by aliens.

I remember seeing Independence Day in theaters, and people cheered when the White House was blown up.
Anyway, I doubt you'll see much of me tomorrow, because I'm going to be too busy barbequeing (?), watching fireworks, listening to country music, and having a ton of fun. So there.

Useless facts:
*Eleven US cities have "independence" in their names. The most populous is Independence, Missouri (113,288).
*If you eat ribs on the fourth, there's a 25% chance they came from Iowa.
*Each year, $128.8 million of fireworks are imported from China.
Happy Independence Day!

Happy 4th of July...
I don't get to see fireworks because my family doesn't want to (my opinion isn't very valued on the subject... basically, my dad doesn't want to go, so we're not going). =/

I'm not sure if I'm going to see fireworks or not, but we're having a cook-out later tonight, the family is coming over (most just my brother, sister, nieces, and nephew), and that sort of thing. If we can't see the fireworks from my house, then we may not see them at all (if it's too hot out),

Yay America! Boo every other country in the world!
As I always do every Fourth of July (America's Independence Day), I remember all of the great people that made our country:
George Washington
Thomas Jefferson
Benjamin Franklin
James Knox Polk
Abraham Lincoln
Theodore Roosevelt
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
And many more.
I also think of America's many inventions ranging from the assembly line and airplanes to nuclear weapons and nachos and submarines and hamburgers and peanut butter and motion pictures and jet packs anf fortune cookies and Superman and Batman and Wolverine and teflon and Star Trek and Star Wars and Stargate and GI Joe and many, many more including the greatest invention of them all Futurama.
I am now going to go back to listen to, humming, whistling, and randomly singing patriotic songs all day and don't try to stop me. Hope everyone has a good Fourth!
Hooray America!

I completely forgot it was the fourth until about halfway through the day. I think this means I fail as an American.
No fireworks here (how shocking), but there's some great thunder right now, which is just as good (and will be better if it starts really storming and I can see lightning too =D).
Happy fourth, everyone!

Tonight we're going to see fireworks, but we're not going to the park where they're going to be shot off because it's too crowded. Instead we're going to sit in a former grocery store's parking lot and watch them. Ahh, America.

In honor of the 4th of July I will sing this -puts on Idol voice, if not has terrible voice-
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Why, oh why, does nobody ever sing verses two through four?
