The Fourth
Happy birthday America. You started off with a glorious dream. Here's to hundreds more years of awesomeness. I hope your people wake up soon and realize what they've got and how to keep it.
Today was pretty cool. Got a nice late start, sleeping in and everything. Pat and Jon came by to drop of Thayer and hung out for a little bit. After they left for LA, Thayer and I just hung out in my backyard. It was a really nice day, and just sitting out there with a bottle of water enjoying the back yard and the house was surprisingly nice. I was so freaking happy it was weird. The happiness was uncanny. After a while Ross came out and joined us. We talked a bit about thought and how the mind works and how frustrating it is working with people who don't, won't, or just can't think like us. Thayer started smoking his cigar, since Garrett told us we had a lot of time left. Apparently it was a really good cigar. Unfortunately, Garrett's plans changed, and he had to come early. Poor Chris had to put it out. He cut the end so he could try to save it for later. Hopefully it'll still be good.
Ross, Thayer, and I met up with Garrett and we went down to San Jose where we met up with Josh and some other people for dinner and fireworks. We half-missed some of the beginning ones, since they were behind a building a lot. We moved and were able to really enjoy some good fireworks. The best part was the big ones booming, then hearing the boom bounce off a nearby skyscraper/highrise. It was pretty cool. As we were leaving, we walked through a park, and the buildings around it looked so cool. If I hadn't been with other people who wanted to go, I would have just lay down in the middle of the intersection (the streets were closed), and just marveled at the beauty of the buildings and the park. It was pretty cool.
Happy Birthday America. These skyscrapers are your legacy.
