I am America
This is really starting to piss me off, and there’s nobody better to make a funny joke out of the frustration I feel than John Stewart:
I live in a big city, and I have American values, not these illusory and somehow superior small town values. Hell, I grew up in a small city, so I guess I’m some sort of mutt; do I still count? Who am I?
I am America. I pay my taxes. I believe in equality for all. I hope for peace. I work hard doing a white-collar job at a company that produces a product that the world buys. I have my hard earned money in the flailing stock market. I love my family with my whole heart. I voice both my agreement and my dissent. I would take up arms and fight to the death to defend our freedom. I lend a helping hand. I cram my brain with knowledge and then share it. I give blood. I install CFLs and recycle. I check on my friend’s cats when she’s away. I practice critical thinking. I vote.
I am America so please, please stop implying that the cleanliness of my fingernails, my geographic location, or how I conscientiously cast my vote makes me anything else.
Now, to wind down: I am drinking a beer!
Helicopter madness
I can’t even comprehend the reflexes and skill it takes to fly an RC helicopter like this.
BYOBW 2008
The Bring Your Own Big Wheel race was right in front of my house yesterday! It’s a uniquely SF sort of event, and was a lot of fun to watch. I had friends over for beers and laughs. My raw video footage is after the jump…
