The Matrix

Ah, boys will be boys. This is an amusing video I stumbled upon on youtube. It worked on two levels for me; not only did his failed attempt at a Neo impression prove funny, but the video also got me feeling all nostalgic. I miss what the 4th of July meant to me when I was a kid. It used to be about following my pyromaniacal urges and testing the limits of what my parents would let me endanger myself with. Nowadays, the holiday seems more about "patriotism" to me... Somewhere along the line, I lost sight of what this holiday is truly about; irresponsible, potential-fire-hazard filled fun.
