Independence Day

The boom of the fireworks,
The colors in the sky.
The smell of hotdogs on a grill,
And the wonder of a wondering sigh.

Independence allows us to celebrate
What we have every day.
The freedom to be who we want to be,
And the ability to say what we want to say.

So on this day I remember
Our men and women in arms.
The ones who fought for us then,
And the ones who fight for us now.

So lift up your voices, let freedom ring!
Remember how their blood was shed,
For you and for me, for our country.
And thank them, with a bow of the head.

WOO-HOO!!!

GO MICHEAL PHELPS!!! Okay, people, the Olympics are now over, but the spirit still lingers on...MICHEAL PHELPS!!! WOOOOO!!!! See what I mean? If you didn't catch the opening ceremony, you should totally look it up on you tube. I'm sure it's on there somewhere. (and I'm pretty sure that the Prez of China is thinking "HA! BEAT THAT!" :P) anyhoo, congrats to all the winners, and even to those who just participated. I mean, that's gotta take guts. I couldn't do it. O_O Well, that's all. (GO MICHEAL!!!!!!!)

Fireworks, movies, a commercial, and something you wouldn't expect to glow...

Wow...that's a long title. Okay, first part of this post is...FIREWORKS! (And not that bad imitation that I did in the "Independence!" post) Aren't they cool! But wait, there's more!

This is a video of some of the fireworks. I have more, but I don't wanna put them all up right now. Maybe later. Now, onto the next subject of this topic!

Movies: Mii's top pics for the moment: Wall-E, totally cute, and very sweet. And even though the characters don't talk very much, there are still some funny lines. Definitely a good movie. Nanny McPhee: AWESOME! Sure, she looks really creepy, but it's a really great movie none the less. Chronicles of Narnia and Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian: Both very good, sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat movies. If you want a romantic, relaxing movie, DO NOT SEE THESE ONES. These are the action movies, definitely get your adrenaline going. (DON'T WATCH THEM BEFORE BED!!! BAD MISTAKE!! [we saw it at the drive in...not good for going to sleep to...]) Mii's LEAST FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME: And the winner is....*drum roll* Happy Feet! That is the worst movie ever. Bad environmental message, and not even a cute enough movie to forget that stuff! I wanted to watch NEWS afterwards to cheer me up. It was that bad. But, next subject!

Commercial: It's really bad, and it's not my fault. but can you guess which one is mii? :P it totally stinks, even to the point of sucky. But, hey, I'M ON A COMMERCIAL! :P (It won't come up one here, so I'll put it...somewhere else.

And last, but not least, what wouldn't you expect to glow? Come on, think hard now, I'll give you a hint: It's a common, everyday object, and you use it everyday. (or at least you should) Any more guesses? Here's the answer. (brace yourselves) A toilet seat. Yep, I saw one that was lit up, and the lights in it were blue. IT WAS SO WEIRD!!! Well, that's all for now.
