Today I had the day off. I spent the day with my kids while my girl had to work (poor thing). We have been experiencing a heatwave here in Los Angeles with temperatures ranging from 95-115! Ouch. At this moment I happened to be chilling, literally, in my air conditioned apartment. Tomorrow is the Fourth Of July. I know what the date stands for historically, but I don't know if we truly use this day to commemorate our independence from England. Dam that was wierd to say, "our independence" for the simple fact that I belong to the group of people that was 'conquered' by the founding fathers offspring, the Native Americans. More specifically the Indians of what is now the American Southwest but back then was Mexico. The more I get into the emotion & the history of what the 4th of July represents the more I just wanna light the barbecue & grill some meat, put my kids in the pool & enjoy my paid day off from work.
