    Isn't every day America day? I thought this was just the one where we're allowed to blow shit up.

    Oh and the day we did all that Declaration of Independence stuff a bajillion years ago.

    Today only really felt like the fourth at the very end, when I took a group out to go see the big local fireworks show - which was actually pretty neat to watch. All the flashing and booming made me think of cannons and explosives and battle, which made me think of other things, like history and people and ideals... But I didn't think too hard on it all because I was too busy just enjoying the colors and sparkles and movement and music that the girls had blasting from my speakers.

    The rest of the day felt weird in a usual sort of way. Out of normal, and slightly out of balance, but not too unlike what it was supposed to be. Not like a holiday, anyway.

    I did read poetry today, though.
    Oh, to find you in dreams - mixing prior, analog, and never-beens... facts slip and turn and change with little lucidity. except the strong, permeating reality of emotion.

    Hope everyone had a good Independence day.

    A few pics from tonight... I only got a few I liked due to the smoke along with it being my first time out to photograph fireworks. I kept having to wipe condensation off my lens too...lol

    What does that have to do with the level of thought control American media and intelligence has on Australia?

    The difference between "America" and "USA" is not very well known, either.

    I was not actually referring to the use of 'MURICA in this thread, because this could be seen as an ironic reference to the use of America as a synonym for USA itself. In German, it's very common to say "US-Americans" (especially in formal texts) if one strictly refers to citizens of the USA. We don't say US-America, though, but instead our equivalent of "United States" most of the time.

    What happened with your previous avatar, Aqua? Seriously, it was damn fine. I still have the original, though, and look at it.

    Nobody is completely free. One persons freedom can easily encroach on another's; hence the need for limits and external enforcement.
