Happy Fourth Of July







All these images make me proud to be an American - even though I am not one. Happy Birthday America. You are the idiot cousin who I can love and hate all at the same time. You make me laugh and you bring me to tears. Your myopic vision of the world makes me sad and I wish you celebrated more of your REAL successes instead of the ones you are spoon fed by your media. You are at all times a contradiction. I hope you find a way to give the least of those among you their shot at the American Dream. Those words used to be a philosophy that guided your decision makers. Now it's a joke for your late night comedians. I tell you all this because I love you. Now get your shit together and give your President the chance to change your world. Trust me, let go of some of the hate and you just might to see things a little clearer.

Oh and stay COOL!

We can only hope for the best for our crazy cousin to the south. America, get on track again!

¡Feliz fourth of July, Gringos!
