Happy Fourth of July

Well, today is the Fourth of July, and I am happy to report that I don't have to work. It should be a nice day today, I am going over my grandparent's house later on to light some fireworks. I just went, along with my dad, mom, and brother, to buy some fireworks. We also went out to breakfast at Coney Island, but for some reason, the food wasn't that good today. Coney is usually great, so today must have been an off day for the cooks.

Anyways, the reason we go over to my grandparent's house is because we live on a busy street, so it is hard to light fireworks here. My grandparents also seem to enjoy it, so that is an added bonus. We usually go to their house earlier in the day, but this year we aren't going over there until around sunset. My dad has a lot to do today, so that is why we aren't going over there until later on.

Enough about that though, I really don't have a purpose to post today, aside from the fact that it is the Fourth of July. The Fourth of July has always been one of my favorite holidays. Christmas and Thanksgiving are the only two that surpass it for me, so that obviously means that it is my third favorite holiday.

This day always makes me feel happy to be an American. Sure America has a few downfalls, but what country doesn't? No place is perfect, but America (along with a few other countries) is pretty close. No matter what I may say about certain things or certain politicians (see Dubya), I am glad to live in America.

America has always had a lot of potential, but it will never reach its full potential with idiots like Dubya running the ship. Kerry isn't much better, but I am willing to vote for him just to get Dubya out of office. I mean, if you are as much against Bush as I am, your slogan should be "Anybody But Bush" at this point. Who knows, maybe in another four years we'll have some decent candidates to vote for, but right now, Kerry is the lesser of two evils. It was pretty much the same choice in 2000, but the wrong candidate won. Let's not make the same mistake again people, it is a crucial time in America and it is time for change. A friend of mine brought this website to my attention, so go check it out if you are against Bush.

Well, that is pretty much all I wanted to say. If I think of anything else, I will post again tomorrow. I hope everyone in America has a happy fourth of July, but try to stay safe with those fireworks. Today is a day for us to celebrate America, and it is not a day for a hospital visit. Keep safe everyone and have a wonderful fourth of July!
