A most joyous hello to you and your family! After all, what better family activity is there than to all gather ’round the computer screen and read a xanga entry?
As you may know, the celebration date for American Independence is quickly approaching. On this day 229 years ago ( seems like just yesterday doesn’t it?), the Declaration of Independence was signed by 56 members of Congress. Thus, most Americans use this holiday to thank our Founding Fathers and soldiers of the Revolutionary War for our freedom.
On the other hand, I take this day and give my humble gratitude to the Chinese, who invented fireworks.
After all, without the Chinese we would all assemble and travel to parks and rivers to watch the blank night sky. How awkward would that be? Clapping would be weird, arguing for good view would be for naught, and the anticlimatic event would probably cause clamor and discontent with being a free country.
Who knows, maybe we wouldn’t even be a free country without fireworks. Picture this:
Thomas Jefferson: We should be free country! Away from Britain!
Ben Franklin: But how would we celebrate our independence?
Thomas Jefferson: Mmm, point taken. Cancel that thought.
Enjoy the frisson of fireworks. S’long.

HAHAHA. very nice. And thus another conspiracy has been brought to my attention through your ravings of fireworks. The chinese knew, beforehand, that without fireworks we wouldn’t have become a free nation. And without America being free Britain would not let them travel from China and live here on American Soil, i mean at that point the western half of america was filled with indians and utterly vulnerable, the chinese knew this. So they gave us fireworks, and let everything about the U.S. taking the western half of America fall into place, when we had it as “ours” they came to california and started to subverge our government from that point. They taught us karate and from that point, with fireworks and karate, we were taken. Its pure genious! They knew that the fantastic spectacle known as fireworks would become the downfall and utter surrender of our once proud nation.
I will have to report this.
Doubt they will believe such a capable mind such as my own.
I need to get out of the house.
how you doing phil?
Yes Phill, that is how it is spelled, I have no idea why, but I spelled it wrong. Have a good one.

I’ve read it once before and loved it. Getting back from the missions trip has been kinda weird…So i thought reading it again might make me feel better. I’m glad you’re reading it to so I can have someone to talk to about it!
Thanks for the comment, it’s always nice to hear from you
