Sorry, we don't celebrate it over here in the U.S. And, for our wonderful neighbor up north, have a happy, belated (it was on July 1) Canada Day!

Last year I had a Canadian co-worker and she hade some interesting stuff to say abotu the diferences between Canada day and July foruth. She stated that Canada day was a day off from work and not much else. It seams that we celebrate our national dy much morre then the Canadians celebrate thier national dya. IT makes sense whan you realize that we fought a way to gain our nation while Canada did the less painfull and less exciting negotiation to gain their nation.

Meh, I'm not the biggest fan of America, but I went to Astroworld to celebrate today anyway. Yeah, call me a commie, but it's how I feel.

I spent the day wandering the Inner Harbor of Baltimore. If anyone tells you the Inner Harbor is fun, they're lying. There's nothing worth doing there.

I love the UK because is is my home. It is the land in which I was born. It is the land that has given so much to me. It is, however, not the land that has shaped me. I love the UK with most of my heart. I will stay true to my home and the land I love (until I emigrate to Poland). I will defend it agaisnt all tresspassers both internal and external, if only someone would give me a frickin' shotgun! I will do all I can to make my beloved land the best UK it can be without spending too much money. God bless the UK and may it and it's craziness live on forever. Hey, that made me feel kinda patriotic...<img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /> Also, I don't really mind about you colonies being off on your own. You're big enough and old enough to look after yourself - just get rid of Mr W, for God's sake! <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> Have fun. Oh, woops, it was yesterday. Well, have retrospective fun.

Holidays are good, especially if you're supposed to do cool stuff.

I spent my 4th of July at a friends place. BBQ'd some Brats (Bratwursts) on the grill and had sweet corn on the cob. later that evening Irish, Moe, Mike, and I, went outside to shoot off some fireworks. However these were the legal kind so they were a bit lame. as We were doing this, one of the local suburbs had their Fireworks displays and we could see the glow from on the other side of the apartment building. "Elver park?" I said. Irish then looked at me and said "Either that or Mt. Horeb has decided to erupt!!". Good times.
