Yesterday was the 4th of July and I got to celebrate America by doing all of the normal American things...
-Making poor life decisions (3 Rockstars in one day)
-Hanging out with your shirt off (Suns out, guns out!)
-Putting off responsibility (Who wants to do homework on that day?!)
-Being fat (Totally skipped the gym...:()
It often bugs me when I hear people ragging on America. I will admit that the current path it is on sucks. I do not approve of the administration or the decisions they make. GOAHEADANDCALLMERACIST but America at it's worst is just as good as any other country probably. Now, I'm not ignorant. I am well aware that other countries have their good traits and I am well aware that America has many, many bad ones.
All of which I am ashamed of.
I wish we weren't thought of as a bunch of WalMart-attending, twinkie-loving, fat-celebrating, celebrity-obsessed, racist, gun-toting, homophobic, white folks.
I want us to be the country known for freedom, fun, success, love, fitness, and all other good and wholesome things. Knowing, however, that this will never be the case I strive to instead exemplify those things in myself and push against the stereotype.
Obviously I am unable to change some stereotypes(I am white), so sue me.
Guys, I am really bad at political rants. I just lose steam because I really don't care that much.
The point being: I love America. I hate the things that people willingly do to make America less awesome than it is. I love...you?
The last couple days have been good! Luckily I haven't sunburned myself even more than I already was from last weekend, and now that sunburn is actually peeling! Oh joy. So that's fun.
It's only...35 days until I get married. BAH!!!! So crazy. And awesome.
That's all for me. It took a lot of energy to try and find something to rant about.
