ooooooh man. fourth of july barbeque coming up in a matter of hours. today is all rock. after sleeping til about eleven and having some blueberry muffins lovingly prepared by my lady friend for breakfast, got showered and cleaned and off to the store. we are stocked up. we got a bunch of hamburgers, hot dogs, and a nice load of bratwurst. so much food! it’s going to be great! even a bunch of these in all flavors for us non-drinkers. mmmm, frosty. it’s gonna be a helluva day, even though it’s a little bit hot. but that’s tolerable when you got the good friends and hot meat cooked over a fire. we’ve got plenty if anyone’s lonely.

story: i was talking during lunch at work yesterday about how i’m going to have a big barbeque today for the fourth, and i mentioned that bratwurst were on the menu. so my boss turns to me and says, “gross dude, you put that on your hot dogs?”. whoa. deja vu. i swear, this really happened. so i’m glad i can set things right with these nutty californians and get them to figure out the difference between sauerkraut on hot dogs and bratwurst instead of hot dogs. mmmm, sausages.

my only complaint is that we don’t have any fireworks, but then again those really aren’t quite as amazing to me as they were when i was a tyke, so i guess i can do without them. instead, we’ve got rock, or at least i do on my box right now. happy independents day! (that’s not a typo).
