Happy Independence Day my fellow Americans!
Please blow up things responsibly!
I'm so depressed today.
I have the right to be depressed.
I have the right to pursue happiness.
You notice the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights don't even mention happiness only the Declaration of Independence does and it only says it is a right to pursue it.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" - Declaration of Independence.
The United States of America began with the best of intentions and the noblest of purposes and now it is a mess, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
We might have lost our way some but we still believe in freedom and freedom is a beautiful and rare thing in today's world.
I have choices.
I might make horrible choices, but that is my right.
I don't have to cover my head or body and only show my eyes.
I can read, work and drive a car.
I can marry or not marry whom ever I want.
I can have sex with whom ever I want.
Sure, I might burn in Hell, but again it is my decisions to make.
I am blessed to live in a country where I have so much freedom and so many choices.
I make mistakes, but I love that I can work, pay my own way and be my own woman.
I am important and I do matter and I do contribute to society in a positive way.
I don't need a man to hold my hand, protect me, or provide for me.
God Bless America!
And I bless God!

Meemaw died
my wonderful meemaw passed away at 2am this morning, peacefully in her sleep.
she had been in fading health the last couple of months.
she had just come home from the hospital yesterday.
i'm full of sorrow.
Brownie Irene was born on September 3, 1923.
She was one of ten children.
She smelled like cookies, sugar, and cinnamon buns.
She always wore her hair up.
She had beautiful brown eyes and almost black hair.
I was named Shannon Irene in her honor.
I have so many happy memories with her.
We were called the two irene's or i was called little irene.
she's how i got my southern drawal.
she taught me how make homemade biscuits.
she'd tell me when i was little that buying things is how she showed she loved me.
i told her the same thing when i was older and would try to buy her things.
she never fussed over herself.
she loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren with a deep absolute devotion.
as she aged she remained strong, stubborn, and adamant to be on her own.
in the past two years she had suffered a stroke, a bad fall, and finally a ruptured ulcer.
but i never heard her complain or gripe about her suffering.
she was steadfast in her faith that God would take care of her.
He took one of his everyday angels home today.
Meemaw i know heaven is awesome, but don't forget to remember i'm still down here and i miss you.
love always,
your little Irene!

Independence Day!!!
Today is my 40th day of not watching tv.
i feel independent.
i wish my kid would jump on board.
i got to spend time with my family tv.
i don't like fireworks.
i don't like fire.
i have lots of memories from childhood of firework "accidents".
it's a time of year to look past bbbq's and fireworks.
our forefather's really thought ahead,
separation of church and state,
freedom of speech,
freedom of religon,
such radical concepts back in their time.
we take them for granted.
these are still radical concepts for millions in the world.
be thankful we are free.
be thankful every independence day for our constitution.

4th of July
I'd just like to say that the 4th of July is awesome. Well, the fireworks suck, too loud, and I'm on a diet, so I can't eat at any of the cook outs, and this year I wasn't even invited to any cook outs. It's really hot outside too.
But that's not why the 4th of July is awesome. The 4th of July is awesome because it represent FREEDOM. Free is my fave word in the whole wide world. And all of it's nouns, adjetives, verbs, etc... like Freedom. I love the whole freedom of speech. We wouldn't be able to blog whatever the hell we want if it weren't for our forefathers (not 4 fathers, but those really old dudes that live back in 1776 and are now dead). They thought ahead to the future and they weren't selfish. They granted rights and freedoms to all men (and I'm sure they meant women too) That was a novel and controversial idea back in their day.
People being equal wasn't a popular concept. It still isn't. How many people have u met that like to think they r better then everyone around them? I've met too many of those types and I got news for them, their shit stinks just as bad as everyone else. So America bless God and God bless America for the 4th of July our Independce Day!!!
