Today is the United States “birthday” in a sense. We mark this day as our independence from Great Britain, though it has come to mean so much more as the years progress.

Please think of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice so that you can enjoy the freedoms you have today.

For those who plan on protesting today, be it for the recent NSA exposures or other government related reasons, please remember to be safe and assemble peacefully.

I plan on gaming some and relaxing. Having found out yesterday I have a herniated disc means I can’t do much of anything today anyway… So I guess I’ll watch the fireworks on tv tonight.

Whatever your plans are, have fun AND be responsible in that fun. If you are going to drink alcohol, please don’t drink and drive.
