Happy Independence Day!
“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
"Old Glory"
Music and flag from here. Press Escape to cut it off. ^_^
"The Star Spangled Banner"
The Defense of Fort McHenry
by Francis Scott Key
20 September 1814
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Finally, a big thanks to all our troops at home and abroad. We couldn't celebrate in safety on any holiday without your constant and unblinking vigilance. Salute!!!

New Duds
My Runescape character in her stylish new Mithril Platelegs and Mithril Plateskirt. She had to try on both, but ultimately decided on the platelegs. The skirt made her you-know-what look too big. :p

Mawh Yahd Wek!
I've been outside now for another two hours or so mowing the back and tidying up. The whole type I was thinking about "Van Dyke or Fu Man Chu" and I just can't stand not knowing anymore. So, here goes my research stream of consciousness style:

Interesting and very informative. Not to mention that I am going to check out that link under FemmeBloggers. Ohh! On that page is a cool link to America Supports You. I did it. Just doooo it! I've read a little of her site and it's really pretty good.

Some interesting pictures, but nothing about the elusive Fu Man Chu.

Not about beards at all. How did I get here?

These people are just too concerned...

Ah Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! So that's a Fu Man Chu. ROTFL, splitting my sides, about to pee in my pants.

Wow!
Okay...it's officially a VanDyke. I'm not sure about having something with the word Dyke in it on my face. Most men's dream, probably. Hahahahahahahaha.

Shahbucks!
This is a really great pic from Kenny Sia.
I think I'm going to open a convenience store and call it Diamond Shanrock. Nobody will know I ripped off the name from another store!!!
Haha!
Sweat'd my a** off
Woo Hoo! I've been working in the yard since my last post, what, two and a half hours ago? and finally I got tired and hungry and THIRSTY so I came in. I figured that I'd weigh since I haven't eaten since last night about 9. Well, I have officially sweat'd my ass off. 217.5.
I just talked to the health office at the university and they checked my charts since I started school there in 1993. When I started, I weighed 198.5 pounds. That's my new offical target weight. My goal was just 199.5 to break out of the 200s, but now I have to lose one more pound.
I WILL DO IT!!!!!!!! Ruff! Ruff! Ruff! Ruff! Grrrrrrrrrrr!
