Today is 4th of July. I feel so un-American sometimes because I feel we don't have much to be proud of. I have such a skewed view of what America is now. I'm not even sure what has brought that on. i guess it's not just America that I view in a negative light but more so, the world. I feel like there isn't so much goodness left. I wish in America people would just focus and love one another rather then worry about which celebrity cheated on their spouse with whom, how long they'll have to wait to get the I-Phone 4, or how much money they're going to make. I wish the focus was more on uniting under the America umbrella and help one another out. Never asking what am I going to get if I do this but just doing it because it's the right thing. I wish people didn't take fore granted that the only way I'm able to speak at all negatively of our nation is because of people who died for that right. People should stop focus on being Democrats or Republicans and just focus on being Americans and working together to do what's best for America not for individuals. I suppose I am too green in the ways of the world and overly sentimental but that's my wish this 4th of July....

So last Thursday my sissy and I went to the Black Kids. Great show. Their set was a little short but it was fun to dance. Afterwards, we decided to go to I-BAR. My sister is such a sport. She really is a great person. I know she had no desire to be there but she went because she knew how much I wanted to go. I hope I can be as selfless as she can be sometimes. So I danced and mingled and drank free PBR. My sister ended up sitting down and while she was sitting. I met someone. Someone who seems to rock my world so far. Even though it's only been 2 days. EEEk. But really, this character Armando Vladamir Nigel (AVN) is pretty swell. Gave him my number, figured we'd do the waiting game until he called or texted.
Long story short went on date with AVN last night...

Here's a recap- Malbec at newish bar, vodka tonic at Whiskey Lou's and then a dip in a fountain in Loch Haven Park and sitting and talking about anything and everything all at once under a moon. Lots of smiles. In other words, epic first date. No joke.


And now, I'm currently sitting in my bed updating listening to the UP soundtrack and waiting for mi Madre to finish our "brunch" which I suspect to be made up of all our favorite foods. My Dad usually does the cooking and it's delicious, the best, in fact. But, I love when my Mom does cook. It's so fun and lady-like the way she does it.

Life is good, it's filling up with great opportunities and happiness and consistency.

I hope it's the same for you guys too.
