I was on a boat watching the fireworks at Hell's Gate on Possum Kingdom Lake for 4th of July. Girls in red, white, and blue bikinis, drinking Miller Light, danced to stereos booming country and rap music, Texas accents small talking AMURIKUH at it's best!
I've been back two months now, and I've eaten my fair share of Mexican food, and have a car now (no trams!), which means I can go to a bar, and not drink at it, and now the homecoming has passed, and my lazy summer days have been pretty bland, though I've decided to make July an adventure.
I have to admit I became prouder to be an American from living abroad. Our food is the best. And though Portuguese Galao and espresso beats any American coffee shops' coffee, I love the little hearts and leaves I get in my lattes here : ) We have awesome student life at our Universities that can't compare to French Universities, and music and movies that the whole word watches and loves.
However, not having a job for these two months, give me the ample opportunity to indulge in daytime television, reality television seem to be the only shows that come on...Jerseylicous, Teen Mom, The Real Housewives of Who Gives a Shit, and my favorite Toddlers in Tiaras. None of this is new television since December, Fox News is just as overly obviously biased as it always has been, still nothing can get passed in congress, and the Top 1% still seem to buy there way into tax breaks, and global warming somehow remains a question.... but still I'm in wonder.
