Bombs burstin' in dah Air



Well I hope that everyone had a wonderful 4th of July---what's strange this year is that although New York City is the first capitol of the U.S. they didn't do as much to celebrate the 2007-1776=231st anniversary of the nation. But I guess it's better when the numbers are even---I'm looking forward to the next centennial.

But regardless, I had a great time standing in the rain in New Jersey with my new tripod....I'm still giddy about it, and the pictures turned out ok. While I was there, I had 3 people come and ask me if you could see the fireworks from where I was standing. Part of me wanted to say, "Not sure, really... I'm here for the solar eclipse." but I didn't. I figured I should be nice on America's birthday---though America's still in her awkward teenage stage where she racks up a lot of debt and then builds up an incredibly large military....So I was nice and told them everywhere the fireworks where going to be going off and concluded by saying "You should really go to New York if you want to see them." Because we all know that when you watch the fireworks from New Jersey, you're like the little kid who can't afford to see the game so he stands on his tip-toes and peeks over the fence.

I met a lot of interesting people on the pier tonight. One romantic dude standing next to me was having fun critiquing the fireworks, then spent the rest of the time trying trying to give his girl a Wet Willy. The Founding Fathers would be proud.

It seems that a Google translated version of a Portugese site wants me to add them to my blogger list.

No thanks, but I had fun reading the Google English...
