American Rhetoric: Movie Speech
"Independence Day" (1996)
The President: Good morning. In less than an hour, aircrafts from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind.
Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.
We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.
We will be united in our common interests.
Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation.
We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.
And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:
"We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We're going to live on!
We're going to survive!"
Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!
Like ever since this movie, I always think of this speech on the 4th of July...it makes you Darn Proud doesn't it? It does me. I had to work that morning but since business was slow I was able to leave early and catch a little of the Wards Annual 4th of July Breakfast and Parade.
Mom & Dad were able to be there this year.
The Portland
boyz, the
Adairs, and
mOe was in attendance
.
Last year my sister Laura and I led the primary kids around the parking lot for a 4
th of July parade, and this year, yours truly took the reins and did it again...with my
Lauralita by
my side!

Robison..the cute&curly duo
There was an over cast that morning, which made the parade so much more easier and tolerable. Last year, I about died..it was so hot..but this year was just right!
There were so many places to go, but only one was promised. We spent the 4
th with Mom and Dad. Dad had bought the kids a Slip and Slide for them to stay cool with
while we were down there.
The kids had a blast on that.
Lou backed out like a
lil'chicken..that's alright, the boys would have still kicked her butt! So we tried it again..hoping she would slide..but Bear went solo..and was
cruisin dad BBQ up some
fantabulous EATS
It was such an awesome day. It was our first 4
th with mom & dad since Rich and I
have been married...so it was nice to be with them! Bear was about done..I brought my swimsuit
in case I dared the slide, but the last time I slid on one of those was before my kids...so that was before I had boobies! It actually looked like it would hurt!
OOUCH!
The day went by nice and slow. The kids were just anxious for it to get dark because they had each got a medium size bag of fireworks from their daddy
shelby...yeah thanks! I
realy do hate fireworks...I mean I like the pretty
artillery shell ones that go boom and sparkle all nice and pretty in the air...but there are some that just scare me! Fire scares meSo I was just enjoying the day while it lasted...the kids played in the water all day long. Of course if we were with my family, we would have been at the lake...so either way, they spent the 4
th wet and in water!
I love my husband very very much. With every celebration/holiday, it always takes us back to our first that we ever shared. Some say nothing beats your first, but with Team Rich, so far it has only been getting better! Mom and dad bought
which by the way was totally freaking Awesome..I was kicking myself that it took me that long to watch it! All in all in was a very memorable, and exciting 4
th! I was in bed by 8:30pm...granted I had to work the next day, but my allergies kicked up and I passed out after taking my pills...I totally missed the kids lighting their fireworks off...but there will be plenty more 4
th's to come.

This movie was aWesoMe...it had your mixture of everything which is why it made such a great flick..Comedy, because Duh...it's Will Smith! Action, because he's a action hero, Drama, but not too much of it, but enough to make you want to tear up..but you so wont...and adventure..even though some parts you totally knew where it was going..it always kept you wanting to see more! It was not your typical Super hero movie though..and that is what I liked...like he didnt get the girl like superman, but he could fly..he didnt have a fabulous home like Batman, he did have issues like Peter Parker, but on a totally different level! So go and check it out!
..now this movie pops off really quick, within like the first 3 minutes the suspense occurs. Things start happening and your instantly hooked. I like movies like that! The ones that grab your attention early and not all prolonged, it makes you eat your popcorn faster, you squeeze your husbands arm all tight and hope nothing pops out at'cha or your liable to SCREAM loudly like a little school girl! yeah, totally that type of movie...Totally! It limits the humor, but adds it perfectly...it's well written, and you totally start thinking...like it made me start thinking about " What the heck would I do?"...and that's what freaked me out the MOST...I so wanted to call our kids right there and then to tell them I love them...but Rich wouldn't give me the phone..it has been a long time since I seen a movie that made me look away..not because it was gory, just more like I was hoping for the outcome to change even though I knew it wouldn't! Not a lot of fowl language. I cant remember though, probably no more then like 5...but don't quote me on that! This is so one of those movies that if your a talker, and what I mean by that is...during the movie your yelling at the screen saying..." dont go down that dark alley you twit....run, run run!" This is not the movie for you...WAIT until it comes out on DVD...because you will so be yelling up a storm at those folks!
Now this movie everyone and their Mama knew it was going to be funny, and it is...it really is! The humor is there on both levels, but honestly it had more adult humor then children. Still though, it was like your typical and traditional Kung Fu movie as my hubby rich would say. The action part of it all was Great...I was jokingly telling my family that the Panda reminded me of a Samoan Dude...he cracked me up! But a must see with the family..gaurantee to make you laugh a lot!
Iron man...now I so need to give Big Ups to Robert Downey Jr.. This dude was sensational, and on top of his game. His best performance in a long time. Since Heart & Soul in my opinion..which means little to some, but anyways, quit reading my blogs then losers!!! hehehehe, I'm kidding...so he delivers a great performance as a Superhero, Genius. The action started off strong..it kind of dies down in the middle..well it simmers..then the drama picks up..which made me nervous about the whole thing..because it made me feel as if I could go to the restroom and I would not have missed a thing sort of speak...the superhero was obvious to get the girl in this one, a blind man could have seen that one coming..(no disrespect), but really he could of...the villian was obvious as well..but I still loved it because Robert did do a great job...I mean really...he did! 
My time is pretty much spent. I figure I have a pretty good bunch of friends, who know my dillio, and understand my absence in a lot of our outings and what not, but I miss them! (Door swings both ways though..hehehe) I so need to get a landline phone because you just cannot rely on me to check my email any more..which in the past, that was more of a sure way of contact for me.
Working on my Success in the world of Jamba..it's never work for me because I'm having so much fun. I cannot believe I make smoothies, and have an opportunity to make buka bucks doing it. I came into this only to work locally while attending Pierce, I had no expectations of the job, just to help out as much as I can...and look at where it has and will take me. I have changed my major to help accommodate my new direction. I love my life...it has been a WHIRL of 
LiveLifeLiveWellLiveJamba-I'm here to simplify a healthier way of Living! Jamba style..Here are the steps in providing that for you : first we need Juice
And then Whoop that's theres it is...straight from the Whirl, a smoothie with a swirl! And that my friends is what I do...and Money is what I make..Fun huh?? yeah, I love it! Come and see me sometime...you know where I'll be!
