Independence Day

"Good morning. In less than one hour, planes from
here all around the world will launch the
largest aerial battle in the history of mankind...
Mankind; the word has new meaning for all of us now.
We are reminded not of our petty differences but of our common interests
Perhaps it's fate that today, July the Fourth, we will once again
fight for our freedom. Not from tyranny, persecution, or oppression,
but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist. From this
day on, the fourth day of July will no longer be remembered as an
American holiday but as the day that all of mankind declared that
we will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight.
We will live on. We will survive."

-Devlin, Dean and Emmerich, Roland. Indepedence Day (1996).




Happy 4th of July!


This day, sadly, will be my last 4th of July spent in the United States of America. Fortunately, I'm spending it with friends and family.


Enjoy the beer and barbeque.


Talk to you later
