What's up homies?! Yea...so it's been awhile, I've been trying to make up stuff that would make my summer sound half as cool as yours. And guess what, it's not. Don't get me wrong I have desperately enjoyed my summer and lack of responsibilities. Having to set my alarm clock so I don't sleep away 2 meals has had its benefits as well! Although the sights are no where near as interesting as yours, please know that your photos have been the spice of my life. So keep 'em coming! I'll leave you with a few updates from your homeland...America misses you!!

Happy Birthday America!!

your very own virtual cookout...in order to celebrate our country's independence in style

Also today, America lit the largest firework of all, launching the space shuttle Discovery off to greet a few aliens and some stranded Star Trekkers.


Weather:
This week has managed to be the hottest of the whole summer, with highs in the mid-90's. Here I was wondering if it would ever stop raining and we'd get to see WARMER temperatures...I seriously regret that now.


Sports:
Honestly, I don't really know.
Most of the hit sports have ended, so that leaves what...racing? All I've got for you is random player tradings in the hockey department, which is gearing up to begin again in a few months. Some dude from Belgium is currently dominating the Tour de France now minus Lance Armstrong. And apparently this is not our year for tennis. (Ashley, proof that America has clearly suffered without our skills...no matter what Coach Kovell gave us in class)

Other Stuff:

My cousin, Emme, is the next big thing people...look for her on Broadway!
Participating in her (the one in the center) first ballet

As a new advertising campaign, Cartoon network is using billboards to spread the word. I think it's working because these things are pooping up everywhere and people are talking. Other slogans include: "Pretty, pretty, shiny, shiny" "My girlfriend dumped me" and "I have a meat forehead" (note to self- find an 8yr old and ask him what this means?)

...this one is my favorite.

The 326 Reunion happened last night!!! YAY!! After 6 weeks I finally got to hang out with my roomate! We spent plenty of time catching up, telling fun stories and sharing beautiful pictures...(yes, I lied, I didn't participate much but I had a BLAST listening to her stories and looking at all 200 of her pictures!) =) We headed into B-town to catch their firework display and then drooled over James Franco (in Annapolis) and Mrs. Stirckland's chocolate chess pie...in this situation, the pie totally won.

Mebane held it's own tonight with a crazy fireworks display. It was a pretty bangin' (literally) 25min. display of colorful luminescence. I felt like the Mebane Arts & Community Center had moved into my backyard, seriously we live a good 3 and a half neighborhoods away and I could still hear the music they were playing, inside my house. Sorry Burlington, but we dominated your fireworks this year.

FYI: There is now a Mad Gab Bible Edition.
