Sweet American Bro

4th of July is one of my favorite holidays and despite being in a new state this year it did not disappoint. It consisted of a lot of goodness, laughter, relaxing, and celebrating of America. Specifically, it included:

- Being a sweet-bro and wearing a tank top pretty much the entire weekend.

- 3 BBQ's, and absolutely no healthy food was consumed the entire weekend (in between BBQ's I had Taco Bell, Five Guys, and New York Pizza and a crap ton of soda).

- Going crazy at a dance party. It was just one of those nights when I had too much energy and I let it all out on the dance floor. I was a sweaty mess and made a complete fool of myself, but it was a great time.


- No weekend/holiday would ever be complete in California without a good amount of time poolside and in the sun. So I took advantage of my living situation and hung out by the pool for at least 10 hours over the weekend. It was perfect.

- Bocci ball and water-polo domination. I did the dominating in bocci ball, but got dominated in water-polo. I was surprised to find out that some of those mormon girls playing were ruthless beasts...and I'm not sure I'll ever be the same.

- It's not the 4th of July without sitting on some blankets in a park and watching fireworks. Luckily, this weekend did not fail me and I got to chill, do some people watching and watch free fireworks with some pretty funny people.

- But what really made this weekend amazing was that people I spent it with. I got to spend some good time with my old-man of a brother and his family, I hung out with a lot of my old friends, and I made a bunch of new friends. It really doesn't get better than that and that is really what makes life enjoyable. Doing fun and exciting things isn't that fun or exciting if you don't have people to share it with. The key to enjoying life is enjoying the people around you and it was really easy to do that this weekend.

I am so thankful that I live in America where pop-culture is so important and where I can be as overweight as I want. Seriously tho, I love this place. I love my life.
