Today is the day we won our independence from those damn Britons, the day we defeated the aliens with the help of Will Smith, and the day we're all supposed to cook burgers and hot dogs outside on a grill while we drink copious amounts of beer with friends we like to drink beer with.
But today, I'm not fighting redcoats and I'm not attacking alien space ships and I'm not barbecuing or drinking beer. I'm working. I'm working from 3 until 11.30pm and then I'm working tomorrow. No beer. No BBQ. Just work without double-time or even time-and-a-half. Just regular work.
But don't cry for me, Argentina. I don't want your sympathy. I don't want your tears. I don't want your poor, your hungry, your tired masses. I only want to know who's with me. Who else took it up the butt today so others could live the American dream? Who else is a wingman out there and is stuck somewhere you don't want to be so that people who make more money than you and take more for granted can have this long weekend off and away from the monotony that endlessly plagues our lives? Tell me I'm not alone.
I only post this to find out who my compatriots are so we can form a union... nay, a BROTHERHOOD of men and women who take pain and disgrace and throw it back into the eyes of our oppressors! We can give the man the finger and we can damn him! I say, we can DAMN the man, just as we damned those soddy Brits!
