HAPPY INDEPENDANCE DAY!!!

I always love the fourth of July because while we are as a population a bunch of shallow fast track assholes to the world we earned what we have, way back when we were fighting for our freedom and we won it, our ancestors were amazing brave men and women who believed in their cause and fought against all odds, thank you all.^^ And personally I do love the fireworks, the excuse to make beautiful cupcakes with fresh fruit, bbq, and to be outside even though I'm melting. Later tonight I'll be posting pictures of the cupcakes I'm waiting on strawberries to complete via my daddy.

Personally every year my family watches the movie Independence Day and it gives chills listening to the president's speech so I found it and am posting it here^^

"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 this 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 its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation.

We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.

And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when 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!"
