I don't know if it was because this year I was alone, or that I found out today my only basketball player I have ever really cared about -with the jersey in my closet to prove it- from the Suns (Nash) is going to the Lakers, or if my faith in our government has been strained the last few years because my eyes have been opened to the injustice of the justice system. Woah, that was a really long runonsentence and a hard decision. But... option tres, three, 3. Ehhhh… yeah, 3, is what did me in. So it is not so ironic today (and every) that I was sporting my London bag. Call me a loyalist and LONG LIVE LONDON BAG. I can see myself living in Europe or, the British colony, New Zealand one day. The only thing that gives me any pride in the red, white, and blue are all the cute 4th of July treats on pinterest and Miley Cyrus's song Party in the USA. So for that, rock on AMURRRICA and PARTY IN THE USA.
Despite the fact that I'm not that into 4th of July, I had a really good day. It was an entertaining day.
Arizona weather is funny. The one day of the year it rains in AZ, is the one day a year people want to play with fire. Mother nature definitely has a sense of humor. It ended up a clear and cool temperatured night so Mother Nature I guess you know what you're doing.
This afternoon, I took Granny to see a movie. Let's just say it was a bad choice, we still had a good laugh though. My Granny is the best.
I also got to work in the most wonderful blue place on the Earth. I don't think you understand my sarcasm, but really Blu Burger Grille is the bluest place on Earth. I do kinda enjoy my job because of the interesting customers. Like tonight, my last customer was high as a kite and kept falling asleep while he was eating his burger. It was hilarious to watch, but annoying at the same time because he didn't leave until 45 minutes after we closed.
When I got home, I did what my heart full of London love told me to do. I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2. Nothing is more patriotic than watching Harry Potter. <-- that was funny, because it's totally not patriotic. HA.
This is my favorite Harry Potter, not just because it was the last one and has the most action and resolution. It's my favorite because I feel apart of it. I got to see the epilogue being filmed at King's Cross Station and see Harry walk by with grey in his hair, and the kids of Harry and Ginny and Ron and Herimone just chilling without security guards because they weren't famous yet. This movie lets me relive my London dreams and makes me feel empowered at the same time. Only our generation will understand how the theme song of Harry Potter can make you feel strong and totally awesome. From the first time I heard that melody when I was 11 or 12 years old when that first movie came out in the theaters, to hearing that song and watching every movie to the end; the best part was growing up with the characters. Man, I love Harry Potter. It's so complex and yet simply beautiful.
This time around, I did hear a quote that stuck with me. Albus Dumbledore taking to Harry while half-way-dead-half-way-alive-in-Harry's-head-scene-----I-know-you-know-what-I-mean, back to Dumbledore-
"Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible magic. Capable of both inflicting pain, and remedying it."
Dumbledore, ain't that the truth. WORDS ARE MAGICAL.
In the end, I love Harry Potter and all things England-ish. But still, God Bless the USA.
Really, thank you… God blessed Amurrrrrrica.
On a sweet note, the absolute best part of the night was that I got to have a long snuggle session with my puppy because fireworks scare the poop out of her. Literally. She pooped all over the house and I found them after work… ewwwww. But she cuddled with me like a sweet baby, so thank you America for having a birthday and setting off fireworks that brought my sassy dog and I together, even if you scared the crap out of her.
