Only 1 day left of Xanga Premium . I suppose life will go on.... maybe....

I got a ride home from Tina today, saw Emma in her car, and had a really good white mocha at the library. Good day so far!

Only 2 1/2 weeks left of summer school. . There was a commercial being filmed in the school parking lot today. I think it was a Mazda car commercial. It looked neat, but I couldn't gawk for very long because the police came and chased me away. . I wonder why anyone would want to film anything in the OPRF garage.

p.s. - I added music! I'm sha-shakin sha-shakin' it...

So... the 4th of July was neato. I slept llaattee and then some of the girlies came over for a BBQ. I believe it was Rachel, Emma, Kristen, Janani, and eventually Julia, Gumble, and Allie. We went to see the Forest Park fireworks from the Forest Park 'El' station parking lot. That's not as crazy as it sounds, I swear. The parking lot is up on a hill so you can see a whole bunch of the fireworks from all over. Alot of people go to see the fireworks there, trust me. But they always start late. My butt when numb from sitting on the hill for so long.

Allie and Lauren got confused and came to my house while we were at the fireworks and then called me and yelled at me so I had to run 4 blocks down Madison St. to go retrieve them, and they were still very mad. I think their parents might've been upset because they weren't at my house. They (the parents) seemed kinda angry when they came to pick them up... oopsie .

Yesterday I saw Farenheit 9/11 with mi familia. It made me really mad. I agreed with most of the stuff Michael Moore said (I usually do), but it made me really mad to see how fucked up our nation has become. I really love my country and it just sucks to see how horrible our morals have become.

I think I may go see it again. I don't think I really took in all of it. There was so much going on in that film. We went to a 2:15 show yesterday, and it was totally sold out. In the big theater at Lake. That was crazy. I hadn't seen it that crowded since the Harry Potter opening 2 years ago. Actually I think it may have been more crowded yesterday.

Anyways... on to happier matters: pictures!

fireworks: oohhh.... aahhh.

and the two little girls I babysat for this weekend, Grace and Isabel. Aren't they cute?

Happy 4th of July!

Curtosey of Michael Moore:

The Patriot's Act: What's More American Than Asking Questions? -- by Michael Moore

The Patriot's Act: What's more American than asking questions? By Michael Moore / The Los Angeles Times

July 4, 2004

NEW YORK — As a young boy, I loved the American flag. I'd lead my younger sisters in patriotic parades up and down the sidewalk, waving the flag, blowing a whistle and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance over and over until my sisters begged me to let them go back to their Easy-Bake Oven.

I loved singing the national anthem. I won an essay contest on "What the Flag Means to Me." I decorated my bicycle with little American flags for a Fourth of July parade and won a prize for that too. I became an Eagle Scout and proudly promised to do my duty to God and country. And every year I asked to be the one who planted the flag on the grave of my uncle, a paratrooper who was killed in World War II. I was taught to admire his sacrifice, and I hoped to grow up and do my part, as he had, to keep us free.

But, in high school, things changed. Nine boys from my school came back home from Vietnam in boxes. Draped over each coffin was the American flag. I knew that they also had made a sacrifice. But their sacrifice wasn't for their country: They were sent to die by men who lied to them. Those men — presidents, senators, government officials — wrapped themselves in the flag too, hoping that their lies would never be questioned, never be discovered. They wrapped themselves in the very flag that was placed on the coffins of my friends and neighbors. I stopped singing the national anthem at football games, and I stopped putting out the flag.

I realize now I never should have stopped.

For too long now we have abandoned our flag to those who see it as a symbol of war and dominance, as a way to crush dissent at home. Flags are flying from the back of SUVs, rising high above car dealerships, plastering the windows of businesses and adorning paper bags from fast-food restaurants. But these flags are intended to send a message: "You're either with us or you're against us," "Bring it on!" or "Watch what you say, watch what you do."

Those who absconded with our flag now use it as a weapon against those who question America's course. They remind me of that famous 1976 photo of an anti-busing demonstrator in Boston thrusting a large American flag on a pole into the stomach of the first black man he encountered. These so-called patriots hold the flag tightly in their grip and, in a threatening pose, demand that no one ask questions. Those who speak out find themselves shunned at work, harassed at school, booed off Oscar stages. The flag has become a muzzle, a piece of cloth stuffed into the mouths of those who dare to ask questions.

I think it's time for those of us who love this country — and everything it should stand for — to reclaim our flag from those who would use it to crush rights and freedoms, both here at home and overseas. We need to redefine what it means to be a proud American.

If you are one of those who love what President Bush has done for this country and believe you must blindly follow the president to deserve to fly the flag, you should ask yourself some difficult questions about just how proud you are of the America we now inhabit:
