Clowns

Yesterday Ashley volunteered me to be a clown at our friend's kid's birthday. I have always been a little frightened of clowns and I wasn't too thrilled about doing it but I dutifully dawned a goofy outfit complete with wig cowboy hat and honking nose. This turned out to be a big mistake the children were all scared of me and it took a little while for me to regain the trust of my adorable little 2 year old friend Lillia even after i took off the costume. That's when I was wondering when was the last time I thought a clown was funny? The only clown I thought was funny was Homey The Clown, and that doesn't count because although he is dressed as a clown "Homey don't play that!" he was in fact the ultimate anti-clown. So if the only funny clown is one that hates clown things and beats kids with a stuffed sock we can safely say that the era of the clown is gone. scary.

4th of JULY!!! my kind of holiday

we spent the 4th of july attending the festivities at Scholfield army Barracks(we figured those army folks would know how to celebrate the all american holiday) Billy Ray Cyrus played a concert, they had this cool army band/history of america thing which was made entertaining with the aid of about 5 artillery cannons. To cap off a god night they had the biggest pirotechnic masterpiece (those military guys sure do know how to blow things up.) All in all GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

A good read in honor of the 4th of July

After returning from 2 year mission in Argentina where I recieved more persecution for America's sake than for the church's , I was ready to join the military mostly because I wanted to defend my country but at the same time I would be lying if a secondary motive of mine was to spite those home and abroad who loath us. To make a long story straight my dad told me to do college thing before I committed to anything and then I got married to Ashley who is against her husband purposefuly going into harms way. So needless to say, I have to find another outlet to show my patriotism.
Anyways back to the real purpose of this blog. If you're tired of the media putting as much objectivity into the upcoming elections as they do with American idol, this book is for you. If your blood boils by how ignorantly people in prominence along with the general public undermine our country and its culture, this book is for you. If you've ever wondered why it's considered taboo for you to show pride in your American culture as opposed to minority groups who are encouraged to be more proud of their foreign cultures than that of America to whom they should feel indebted to; this book is for you.
D'SOUZA the author of this book is a highly educated Indian (dot, not feather) immigrant who explains "What is so Great about America" (not just a clever title). Upon completing the book you will feel grateful to be an American and you'll get a new found respect for our culture while erasing the forced guilt that your teachers and media have heaped upon you, even before you understood what cultural diversity really was. In other words you'll know what sets America apart from all other nations. You'll understand why the some of the same people who hate America the most would immigrate here in a heartbeat given the opportunity was made available.
I give this book 2 thumbs up, WAY UP!! thanks dad for recommending it to me!
