Being American Today
Today is July 4th which means Independence Day for us living in the States. As a proud American, I'll be doing the following today:
- Grilling out burgers, brats, and steak
- Drinking hard lemonade and Sam Adams
- Relaxing with my girlfriend and friends
- Swimming in my grandfather's pool
- Spending time with family
- Napping
Thank you to veterans and current members of our military for allowing me to freely do all of the above.
To those outside of the States, I promise I have some mind-blowing MooTools classes and effects coming your way! Next week will be an exciting one!
Happy Independence Day!

Enjoy today and your weekend!
I’ll be @ a Brazilian party …which is nice.
