So one of my coworkers and I were working on taking account of all of the 100 IP Addresses in the building. It's gotten to the point that we have to ping all the computers and hope an IP Address comes up. Well, he got bored...

Clearly, I'm bored enough (at work) to be blogging about this.

Ah! 25 hours left!

had quite a night. My sister and I went to a barbecue and stuffed ourselves with hamburgers and hotdogs. Then we attempted to have a two-person watermelon seed spitting contest. ["Attempted" because we were eating seedless watermelons, so all the "seeds" were white and didn't have much spunk to get very far]

Then we got some not-very-good directions to the El Conquistador Resort, so we drove about 10 miles out of Tucson and called someone with better directions. We turned around and found a good street and pulled over between a large F250 and a Four-Runner. Then we spent the next 15 minutes taking the soft top off of my sister's car. We finished just in time to crank KLPX 96.1 [who were playing good ol' American classic rock like "American Woman" :P] and sit back to enjoy the show! The fireworks ended up being right across the street from us... perhaps 100 metres away! So here's a part of the show!

The Fourth of July marks the momentous occasion in which the United States of America finally rid itself of the overbearing British Empire to become its own independent state.

On this very same day, 233 years later, I rid myself of anyone's rule to become what s/he wants me to be. Today, I declare myself independent. I declare myself free to be who I please, do what I please, say what I please, free of any judgment or guilt. No one will ever hold me down or say that I am less than a person. I will not stand for any of this injustice. I am... and no one can or will stop me from being.
