As someone who has a birthday, I get really into celebrating the day in which someone or something came into existence. Really I just like any good excuse to sing and have a cookout. A lot of people diss on America and rightly so. We currently are at war, we're killing tons of ocean life from our oil, and our soccer team should really be better than it is. As a birthday present to our land, I would suggest actually celebrating America on July 4th and take pride in living in such a beautiful, clean, and rich country. Take some time on Sunday and contemplate how lucky you are. Go outside and cook a hambuger on the grill, watch sports on your cable tv, shoot fireworks if you live in South Carolina, and let George Strait and Jay-Z play on your ipod. Support all those things that make America an overall good place to live. There's a lot of crap going on in the world. Earthquakes and tsunami's kill thousands of people every day. Children are raised and taught by strangers to kill people, if raised at all. Slavery still exists. Most people in Africa are just waiting to die from Aids. But in Cleveland, Ohio Lebron James wonders where his next $96 million will come from. I'm pretty thankful to live here for the simple fact that I've already lived 23 years and that would be cut in half if I lived in a third world country. Maybe you could write a little note or letter in your diary to our most powerful country, telling it how much fun you've had over the past 234 years. I think I will.
Dear Uncle Sam,Way to go! Did you know that Justin Beiber can make a living for himself at just 12 years old? Thanks for the right to vote on our leader. Some children are given up or left by their parents and I might adopt them one day because I can. That Taylor Swift makes my toe tap. I can tell people about how awesome Jesus is and Target was the best idea anyone ever had. I love Rock Hill, SC and the money it pays me to live on. I love Moe's. You're my favorite country ever. Go Yankees!Patriotically,Katie
