Well, today my town had a parade in the morning but I didnt pay any attention to it, even though it was about 75 yards from my house

The Family had a BBQ at lunch, but the ribs weren't that good but good enough. Then later on I went to play Basketball with my buddy Michael. He stayed at my house for a few mins but then left right before the fireworks started. I watched them for like an hour and a half from my roof. The Fireworks this year were pretty cruddy even though I had a great view. All in all it was an okay 4th of July but nothing that would make it any different from any other day than some lights.

I took this pic with my phone to demonstrate how small the show was

I went to the Meadowlands Fair by Giant Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ.

I went with 18 people, all family, just to have some fun for a few hours.

I saw "The Snake Lady", and "The Worlds Largest and Smallest Horses", the only one that appeared fake was the Snake Woman, (if only I had a digital camera with me at the time). Dont go to see the Snake Female, for it is a fruad beyond you wildest thoughts.

I loved the promo for it though, in a monotone voice mind you; "Come see the incredible Snake Lady, with the head of a beautiful woman, and a body of a hidious snake. How did she come to be? How does she make love? How is she living? Come and see the Snake Lady, she has an incredible story to tell you. Come see the Snake Lady..."

There was more but I cant remember it, Im pretty sure that I got the most of it. Anyway that is what I did.

All I have to say is Americans are getting lazier every year. Practically everything was closed yesterday, from private businesses to government offices. I never knew that the day after a holiday is a holiday in itself until now.

I believe it is because the holiday was on a weekend, so you get the Friday or Monday off.

Its called a National Holiday, which always includes a day off no matter what day it falls on.

HEY!

Anyone who reads this board religiously knows I'm no big fan of the country that I live in (that being America) but kindly BLOW ME!

Nobody and I mean NOBODY in the civilized world takes less time off than we do.

We were cleaning out my Grandma's attic the other day, and found a couple M80's. Not sure when Im going to light them off. Theyre pretty old, I hope they still blow up.
