Remember when the 4th of July was all about face paint, picnic blankets, fried chicken and fireworks? ah, the carefree days of rainbows, puppies and cabbage patch kids. here i am with a heart-shaped locket, a fistful of dandelions and my mom's best seventies 'fro. i was a bicentennial baby. 2 centuries + me = america's age. these days it seems the fourth is all about wondering when the neighborhood kids are going to finally run out of shit to blow up. and pathetically chuckling at the poor morons who help make this holiday the busiest night in the ER. am i missing something?
...maybe this is what america's birthday is SUPPOSED to be all about! dagnabit, how come it took me so long?? i tell you what-- i'm agonna take my cuz'n and head on down to Big Daddy's in the Kentuck and get me sum Junior Pyro and Redneck Party Packs (don't forget the hot-n-spicy pork rinds and a couple cases of icehouse).
