Hmm. It's been quite a week. Only had to work for 3 days, and I get 4 days off. I've been raiding the local Blockbuster lately, getting movies that I've heard were good but never got to check out. Heh, some of them were even taken from members' profiles on here. I've seen Pi, Boondock Saints, Donnie Darko, Way of the Gun, and some others. Sort of expanding my cinematic horizons, and they were all good movies. After the fireworks I headed over to a friend's house and ended up watching Cannibal: The Musical (produced by Troma, and put together by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Excellent.) and Meet the Feebles. So, yeah, my sense of normalcy's been screwed with a little. But I'm in a good mood, so I'm doing all right.
Fireworks were pretty good, especially for a city of our size (25,000 or so), but I'm reminded once more of how much I FUCKING HATE REDNECKS. They infest my area like the moronic, racist, conservative, misogynist alcoholic vermin they are. Tonight, not a single semi-impressive firework could go off without some cockhead yokel piping up with "Yeeee-haaaaawwwww!" It's like living in a caricature, I swear. Before the festivities I was listening to some of Jello Biafra's spoken stuff about how little our country deserves the insincere bullshit patriotism that's been heaped on it like a manure pile in recent years. I thought it was kinda fitting, on the 4th of all days. There's a man who really knows what the country stands for and fights for it. Jello's just amazing. But anyway, it's almost 5 in the AM here, so I'm gonna put myself down for the night. Pleasant dreams, Suicide crew!

"We are patriotic citizens, too. Patriotism means 'love of country,' caring about its people, its ecosystems, and others around us. Not giving blind loyalty and a blank check to George W. Bush. We are patriotic enough to care about the long term effects instead of just the short term gain. Therefore it is our patriotic duty to guard our country and our constitution against people and forces hiding behind the flag."
