10:57 : just realized I wall-posted someone in fb praising A[andrew] Jackson that I haven’t talked to in 4yrs. Peak form and its only 10:57am

The Facebook status said: question of the night: if you had to cheers to the most positively influential person of US History, who would it be?

My response: Andrew Jackson. How else would we have all of that prime midwest/southern real estate that was former tribal lands? ……lol no, I’d go with Jefferson.

July 5th, 08:48 : holy hangover batman. interesting day/night – certainly some unexpected events good and bad. That concludes the 4th of July live blog

Independence Day 2010 had its times good and bad. Having less of an entourage meant that more was possible, but after a semester of hitting bars/parties with a crowd of 10+ it was weird not to automatically know at least 7-8 other people at the party. The roof top fireworks venue was cool albeit nothing could be better than being right in front of the barge on the esplanade like in 2009.
