Happy 4th of July

The best way for me to convey a happy 4th of July to all of you is through Pop culture.

Thus:

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. “Mankind.” That word should have new meaning for all of us today.

We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom… Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice:

“We will not go quietly into the night!”

We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

- President Thomas Whitmore

Conchords

Am I the only one who can’t wait for the Flight of the Conchords to come back out?

Many thanks to those of you who followed me here. I’m attempting a cleaner look and feel here at wordpress, which probably won’t have any affect whatsoever on my ramblings, but I hope that if there is any change, it’s an improvement. Feel free to comment and let me know your thoughts.
