all of you out there are either a.) at work counting down the minutes until you can click your phones off, set up your 'out of office' email, and scurry away for a long weekend or b.) you are near some water, beer in hand, sunglasses on, and without a care in the world. i mean after all its the 4th of july, america's 223rd birthday.
the 4th is a very large birthday party (i cant remeber when 300 million people took off of work to celebrate me ... although my 25th birthday did have a boat full of sushi) that has become more than a holiday, but rather its turned into an institution. this institution consists of sunburn, bodies of water, charcoal, bathingsuits, beer out of a can, fireworks, and always corn on the cob.
i love it. you love it. we all love it. thats why we all pack cars, coolers, and boats and set out to high five, cheers, and sometime punch each other in celebration of a revolt. i want to offer you a glimpse into my mind when i think of the 4th of july ... see if you can follow along ...
when i think of the 4th i think of sunshine, and sunshine makes me think of summer, summer makes me think of vacation, vacation makes me think of widespread panic, widespread makes me think of high school (1st time experience), and high school makes me think about the last day of school right before summer vacation ... which leads me yet another american institution ... dazed and confused. im serious, when i think of the 4th i always think of richard linklaters kick ass bicentennial teenage drug enduced celebration.
so if you find yourself with out epic plans this weekend all you need is $5 and a blockbuster (i prefer netflix, but good luck getting that ontop of your queue and sent to you over a public holiday weekend - geesh) in order to enjoy this movie for your 1st or 1776th time.
