Did You Miss Me?

Hey sorry for my tardiness with these blogs, I've been working my butt off and house sitting for my parents where the Internet was down all week. :(
Sooo let's see, yesterday was the Fourth of July! Happy Independence Day everyone. Hope it was as wonderful as mine was. I did what I do every year and went to Marc and Jeremy's for their wonderful annual party. It was great seeing everybody, the food was as usual delicious.

Life is really good. I'm looking through my financial aid for next year, LAST YEAR!!!!! and it's really awesome, I will have quiet a bit left over so Wall E Yaris will get paid off early, and I will be buying my brand new Mac laptop for my last and final year! I'm so excited. It will have this for work, school and play of course. I've been on the apple website for like a month just building and playing around with new computers haha.


Okay so yesterday was Independence Day and I was at Dunkin Donuts grabbing and ice coffee when I had the pleasure of overhearing the overzealous America scream at a fellow patron...

"Hey! This is not the day to be bad mouthing America! Do you know what today is? It's Independence Day don't be an Asshole!"

Some of you may be thinking... 'hmmm, that doesn't seem to bad, yay for sticking up for your country!' However the bad mouthing America to which this overzealous man was referring was this guys complaint that two customers behind him had gotten sandwiches before he's received his toasted bagel.
Honestly I think that isn't necessarily bad mouthing America so much has complaining about a particular person's inability to work efficiently.
It's not like this person said... "America sucks because no one can get me bagels, I'm a foreigner and I demand that if I order a bagel and the bagel worker hasn't given me my bagel than one of the other Stupid Americans around me needs to do their job, it's America and America sucks, whaaa whaa whaaa."

So basically I need to say, FUCK YOU! Who are you to call some guy an asshole, in a public domain where children may or may not be listening. For all of you overly proud Americans, I say this, why do you have to be overly American on the Fourth of July? Why cant you buy local and help America, why can't you buy American and help our economy, how can you shovel hundreds of thousands of dollars a month into fast food chains that don't give back to the community and this country? How can you shop at Whole Foods and buy organic when you can get the same organic crap from a farm stand down the road? Do you honestly think you're neighbor selling veggies in the front yard off a folding table has been using artificial growth hormones on his vegetables? If you are going to be so yay America maybe you should do more, vote wiser, and have stronger opinions about normal and important things. How can you vote more times for an American Idol, than a president? It's so fucking stupid.
If you're a true "American" than you should at least educate yourself to the ways of America, we are a melting pot, we have always been made up of people who traveled here from somewhere else. EVEN THE NATIVE AMERICANS, do you think they just popped out of the ground? NO then traveled down from Russia and through Canada and Alaska, and Mexico. They all came here from somewhere else. Everyone is an immigrant or given a look back came from an immigrant family. So suck it.
And another thing, do you realize that in the summer of 1942 we had CAMPS like the ghettos of Germany for the Japanese Americans? We forced ATLEAST 100,000 Japanese American men women, children, students, lawyers, workers, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters into interment camps, just like the Nazis because they could be plotting another Pearl Harbor. Sounds like Guantanamo Bay no?

Before your proud and giddy over America's Independence from the British pick up a book and read a little bit about your America. I am a proud America, I buy local, and I buy food from other parts of the world, I own a car that was made in America with parts from Japan, Korea, and Mexico. I know my countries past and I am so afraid of it's future but at least I know. You're proud of America because people died in a horrible tragedy. How many of you had flags out in the rain? On your car getting shredded int he wind? How many of you had to BUY a flag after September 11th because you didn't already own one? How many of you still have those flags up? How many of you you have flags in your car windows?

Americans are like the girls who where the pink hats of their local sports teams. You wear them because they are cute, but god forbid you actually know a little about the team you're supporting. I wear a hat that has a Yankees logo, not because I like the Yankees, I like the color. Can I talk about it, how there doing yes, do I care? No. It's only a game. It doesn't matter.
