Independence Day
Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

The Bleeding FlagSt. Anthony Main was beautiful as always. Today was different though. The street was alive with people, music, and the smell of grilled food. Yet, at the same time it was not crowded like such a scene might typically be on an occasion such as this.

Today is Independence Day. It is a celebration of the day we declared our freedom from the British Empire. How do we celebrate our independence? Why, in typical American style of course, consumption. We buy trinkets to hang from our necks, we buy symbols to hang from our windows. A competition to see who is the most patriotic, a show to see who has the biggest flag (penis).

We stuff our faces with hot-dogs, burgers, and bratwurst. A testament to the ever expanding waistline of America.

Of course no Independence Day celebration would be complete without the explosives.

It is fitting that the conerstone of the 4th of July is the fireworks extravaganza. That is after all how we do things over here. We blow shit up. We gain our freedom through swift violence. Freedom from tyranny, freedom from terrorism, freedom from our neighbors, just grab some firepower and unload in their direction.

The kids go out and play with things called Black Cats, M-80s, bottle rockets, and so on. Locked, loaded, ready to fly and let loose a most glorious display.

I raise my bratwurst and toast you America. Cheers to freedom. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I am a designer and web developer, a student of many things. Music, art, writing, you name it I will probably try it and probably do it pretty well. I graduated, with honors, in June 2007 from the Art Institutes International Minnesota with my Bachelor's degree in Interactive Media Design. I am now just going to move on into my career and continue to learn new things and hopefully pass what I have learned on to others.
