On this day, two hundred thirty nine years ago, America formed its own country by signing the Declaration of Independence. Earlier, those in Britain who were tired of the government broke off to form their own nation as they saw fit. The result of their decision created us as we are today. The date we became America? July 4th, 1776. The first July fourth celebration!

Happy 4th!
I'm kinda scared of the fireworks this year. I mean, I am every year, but especially now. It's so dry here, I'm afraid of fires starting. Hopefully people will be smart enough to be careful.

Oh. At first I was like "what? how?" then I read the rest and that makes more sense

Heh, yeah. All my life I've had this quiet, ever-present voice reminding me that half of "fireworks" is "fire". Wildfires are a big fear of mine. Plus, I don't like loud noises.
I do like the colors and festiveness though.

I hardly ever see fireworks. Parents say it's too hot and I had no one else to see them with. And this year I work through the beginning of it

Ouch. I hope you get to see some.

Well, I wouldn't call myself a professional realismist, as I draw 3d cartoons. I am inspired by my love for ferrets, wolves, creativity and the freedom to do anything in art. I'm actually going to a caracature class next week! Never been to one before and can't wait to learn. Aparently one will be published in our local newspaper. I add shading to my characters, as well as lines. I love lines as a shading techneque. Although, in my real-life drawings I also use finger-smudging as it'very useful.

Hey! cx I've been watching a bit of Shark Week and am psyched that some important research took place just off the coast of where I live (and it was done by the university I want to go to, no less! :D)

Re: Maybe roll a dice or do einie meinie? That's what I normally do when I have to make a decision.

Re: Well, they were studying makos (I didn't know we had them here!) to see whether they were ambush predators like great whites (and they are!) and tracking one to see how fast they are.
And cool! ^-^

I think you'd like this song... or not, but either way you should still listen to it.

Yep :) and in fact dolphins are mammals even though they spend their live underwater mostly. Dont work too hard, know your limits to keep you holding a non-stressful work condition.
