Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I feel like crap.

A summary of the past week:

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Wah-er boh-le.
I hate you, Stefan.

Yeah, that's about it.

Ah, July 4th. Just in case you're wondering, Independence Day should've really been July 2, or July 9, or August 2:

Representatives officially voted for independence on July 2, 1776. The New York delegation abstained from the voting because they had not yet received orders from the New York convention to support the measure. After the vote on July 2, representatives then began to debate the actual text of the declaration. They made only a few changes; most significant was the deletion of Jefferson's accusation that the British Crown had promoted the slave trade in America. On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress voted to accept the final version of the Declaration of Independence. New York again abstained, although its delegation was authorized to ratify the independence resolution on July 9, 1776. Most of the delegates signed an official copy on August 2, with three absent members adding their signatures later.

I was going to write an essay about patriotism, but since I feel like crap I was too lazy.
