Happy Deeeee-Pendence Day!

Here's what I'll be doing tonight thanks to Arlene. Photos will undoubtedly be taken:

Did you know that July 3rd is DE-pendence day? It's true!

In 1776, The night before the very first 13 gun salute, Thomas Jefferson, in a drunken haze, wrote an impassioned love letter to the English Parliament, declaring himself TERRIFIED of freedom and liberty, and wishing to "crawle into the pantaloones of king george III and nurse off his mighty kingdome "
The next morning, hungover and deeply embittered, Thomas ripped up the letter, burned it, and wrote what we now know as "the declaration of IN-dependence," eschewing any and all romantic attachments to England and harkening in a new era of barbecues, farmers tans, and OOO-WEE!-Yankee Doodle Dee-hee-lights!

You can celebrate DE-pendence day by making a list of things you are dependent on. Such as beer, wax lips, red undergarments or reality television.
then, like Thomas Jefferson, BURN THE LIST AT MIDNIGHT! SET YOURSELF FREE! It really works.

I will be having my own De-pendence day burning ritual TONIGHT at ocean beach, at 10:00 pm til whenever we feel really free. Anyone is welcome.

Wish me luck!
