The fourth was different for me this year. It was actually the first time in years that I wasn't with my family, or Edith. Last year, I was able to enjoy the fourth in New York with Edith, and the previous years before that, I was at San Clemente with Edith, my sister, and Daniel. Every year was a blast (no pun intended), and although this year I was with friends away from the beach or New York, it was still fun none-the-less.

I went to a party with a lot of my friends; food, drinks (lots of drinks), and beer pong were all available for us to pass the night away (and pass-out for some of us). Stumbling over drunk, public urination, and getting naked (all effects of too much alcohol) made the night entertaining...because myself and the other sober ones were able to laugh at the crazy drunk ones!

The best part of the night had to have been when my friend Stephen stopped by, and the three original friends (Stephen, Martin, and I) were able to hang out and catch up like we did back in the day. Arrived at 8:00 pm and left at 1:30 am...and enjoyed every moment of it!
