as much as i love america, the constitution, and the liberty provided me by those things, the fourth of july just isn't a particularly interesting holiday to me. it may have something to do with the way we celebrate it by blowing stuff up and roasting dead animals, but it probably has more to do with the fact that it comes one month after a terrible date in chinese history, and three days after another chinese holiday i'm not particularly fond of. if there's one thing i'm not, it's a chinese nationalist. i'm not an american nationalist either, but looking at what america was and now is and looking at what china was and now is... i'm sort of conflicted. this post made a lot more sense in my head, so i'm going to stop typing it now.
