I have to admit so that I may sleep well tonight,but I'm one of the few people in Americawho don't really enjoy the 4th of July :? Yea, big whoop, but you'd be surprised how many people, especially the ones who spend a majority of the year complaining about how they hate this country, how that makes no sense. Someone even compared me to the guy who sits in the middle of a strip club and complains about women not being treated fairly... whatever...
Yet for once, in a long time, a holiday really went in my favor, with no hic-ups. Did I blow anything loud and colorful up... not so much. Half the reason I don't like this time of the year is all the dip sticks who spend oodles of money on crap that stinks up the air and sets off alarms.
I like to think I'm not a complete prude in my aging, I just don't fancy the idea of amateurs handling explosives. Maybe when you attend one of those parks where all the pro's put on a massive show for the whole area, yea... those are cool. But I'm already paranoid as it is, so walking thru the streets hearing crap pop off every other night leading up to the holiday and most likely gonna hear it weeks after the day... its just not a super time of the year for the dreski :cry:

Beyond griping, I did have a super holiday today! With no money to my name, plenty of issues with and around my daily life, and no one particularly special to boast about as my WOMAN, I made due with my own agenda.

Some gaming to start the day, afternoon tacos, some football at the park, a few beers to chill, hit a lap aroundthe social circut, catch up with some old friends, network, a few more drinks, dinner at Red Lobster, a bit of (professional) fireworks, another viewing of Transformers, a bit of CS to wrap the gaming fix, and now I plan on watching some Guyver.

Yea... :roll: the day was in my full control and not one thing went out of place... besides the @ss who flew out the alley without looking and almost ruined my day, all was well.
Now that the R&R has been fully appreciated, back to the grind. I got this job oppertunity a friend suggestedfor me, so I'm definently gonnakeep my fingers crossed for that working out. If not, got to still clock in at 6:30 and hope that I can at least make a stop by the comic shop before my evening torture. I'd like to say something heart felt and caring for others concerning the holiday, but I really don't care. People were having nothing but good times every year and had no problem always reminding me things could be worse. So finally the tables are turned and with little spite I say with a grin on my face, I had a good time this year... what about you?!
