"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
--Theodore Roosevelt
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-- Mark Twain

i took the kids to see some serious fireworks tonight it was awesome. it felt like they were exploding 5 inches from your face. that, along with some horseradish hummous dip, made the night amazing. patriotic, and amazing. :-)

those who are easily shocked.....should be shocked more often
just watched the fireworks going off down the street =) not much for patriotism but still pretty neat.
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
Yay for the land of pseudo-freedom!
Happy 'Try hard not to be Brits' day.

I'm going to vote for Americans in next election. Misuses Institute Austrian Economics style, lul.
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.
