celebrated my homebrew

so...4th of july happened
"4th of july. the lucy in sky. I remember pine trees and the coat of many colors. I was 19. Id do anything. Shit like that now scares me but id like to do it again. It was independence day. Ive seen the otherside and i say. i will never be the same."
that was from Homebrew a 311 song about tripping your balls off on the 4th of July and being 19...as i am. I may not have had that type of reckless evening yesterday, but it was decent none the less...wo/ crime. Even "the punks" refrained from any illegal machinations.
America....land of the free. aah......saying that is like the sound of opening a ice cold soft drink or alcoholic beverage (whatever be your fancy)....refreshing....worry free...relaxed....(somtimes....b/c im sure sometimes i could respond mentally with a "fuck that" easily)
i enjoy living in america...many people believe they dont. Prolly because of all the hypocracy, surveillance, mal-laws, brutality, bombardments of advertising, dependence, selfrighteousness, exceptionalism, money based morales, consolidating corporate businesses....etc. In spite of the US's many flaws, i still like it here... As far as i am concerned the system works. The framers of the constitution were fucking smart. They created a system that churns out moderation. Its nearly impossible for this country to go radical in the ways of government...."two sides of the same coin" is in some senses correct....But i encourage people to vote....atleast with local voting...b/c if some dont, then some ingredient to the mixture of government stew is missing...and it wont be exactly what its supposed to be.

I enjoy expounding politics about as much as i do religion....so ill move on....or back....

Yesterday was festive and a delight. For some cosmically strange reason i had a very good day. I went swimming in the afternoon...ate with my neighbors and family...met jenny and had a lovely hour or so... and then eventually met a group of people at Jenny's house....and during that congregation we watched firework displays....and i was filled with happiness as i chatted with my friends and also jenny's parents.......enough 'ands'

America by Simon and Garfunkel - I was putting songs on my mp3 player and(shit) had temporarily placed riders on the storm by the doors in the number 1 position...due to me and my father discussing what he knew of Jim Morrison (which wasn't much cause i think he was maybe 6 yrs old when the doors or jim, died) but then i was like....Jim morrison was a foolish harddrug fuck....so fuck him....so i placed ol' simon and garfunkel in the position instead....This song is so pretty...and it really embellishes my fancy free-ideas about what America is about (even though its just a hippie song), without actually being a very proamerican or anthemetic song. Very happy song, for my fairly happy day....Garfunkel is also the shit....fuck simon........i guess

anyone who reads this....you wanna go to astroworld on saturday?

real squirrels...and there were thousands....and this is not some kind of metaphor....god dammit this is real!
