How Was Your 4th?

Had no concrete plans other than to hang out with my roommies but it turned out to be one of the best ones evar.

Woke up @ 12-ish, went to the gym to make up for my small peepee, and then my roommates persuaded me to drive 25 miles south to spend Independence Day with our old crew.

Soon as we got there we were treated to a MF\'in feast.  BBQ Chicken, Steak, some special hot dags (whose names I forget) Spanish rice, chili, potato salad, apple pie, corn bread, and some more fixins to make America fat & proud.

Watched the Ringer w/ Johnny Knoxville which was actually funnier than expected, played Streets of Rage 2, couple games of Halo online, started the Island (Michael Bay), paused to do the ghey ass VA-legal fireworks, finished the Island.  Worst part is I have to go back to work tomorrow. :bash:

So how was your holiday?

i arrested 2 people, broke up 3 domestic fights, and now have a renewed hate for islamic fundamentalists because of the tv movie... flight 93.

Was away all weekend building more of the cabin. I\'m exhausted as f^ck, so I didn\'t really do anything tonight. Just glad to be home. Shot off some fireworks in my background watching my dog freak out and then heard the loud booms from the real fireworks some miles away. I didn\'t feel like driving through that traffic this year just to see explosions in the sky. But anyway...happy 4th of July people!

I woke up at 6am to meet about 25 other S2000 owners for a drive on the Angeles Crest Highway.  It was cool man.  The Cops was out en force, and pulled over three groups of drivers, but they almost all resulted in warnings.  The only real citation one guy received was for "no front plate."  :rolleyes:

I ran over a big snake.  No shit.  I dedicated that one to warm blooded mammals everywhere.

Today was a great day for me.  Woke up around 1 P.M., then prepare my stuffs to go to the beach.  Before going to the beach, my aunt took my nieces, and nephew, and me to my cousin\'s house.  There I learned something new about water balloon.  My younger cousin threw the balloon into ground and the balloon doesn\'t blow up.  Surprise, I asked how come it doesn\'t break.  He said he filled the balloon with water, then he blew some air into the balloon, and that makes equal balance and won\'t break easily when drop it into the ground.  Very cool, and I tried some balloons he made and sure enough, it doesn\'t break when threw onto the ground, unless it\'s a hard throw.

Then, off our cousins, nieces, nephew, aunts and uncle, and me went to the beach.  The beach was better than i would have thought since the water is not that cold, and the wave are gentle most of the time.  We were playing on the water for over 2 hours.  I listened to my cousin and followed him to walking on the rocks next to the dock to catch some crabs, as we walked on those sharp rocks, we didn\'t find any crabs and a female lifesavers told us that we are not allowed to go there.  So we played on the beach some more before we went back home.  I went to my sister\'s house to play and watch some fireworks before I went back to my home.  Overall, it was a very good day for me.

The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence, was a conflict that erupted between Great Britain and revolutionaries within thirteen British colonies, who declared their independence as the United States of America in 1776. The war was the culmination of the American Revolution, a colonial struggle against political and economic policies of the British Empire. The war eventually widened far beyond British North America; many Native Americans also fought on both sides of the conflict.

Throughout the war, the British were able to use their naval superiority to capture and occupy coastal cities, but control of the countryside (where most of the population lived) largely eluded them. After an American victory at Saratoga in 1777, France, Spain, and the Netherlands entered the war against Great Britain. French involvement proved decisive, with a naval victory in the Chesapeake leading to the surrender of a British army at Yorktown in 1781. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 recognized the independence of the United States.

And so on and so forth...

I kicked off the day by buying Guitar Hero.  After a bit of that I went to see my friends (menz and womenz) and we had some barbecue and then went out to watch some fireworks. Not bad.
