Today is the 4th of July. This you know. If you are an American, you probably have the day off. You’re probably shooting off fireworks (which scares the shit out of my dog. He’s hiding in the basement currently), eating hotdogs and enjoying a day off. Try not to forget what this day is all about. Many people claim to be patriots and the like, but it usually just comes down to talk. But here’s something you can do that’s truly patriotic. Go donate blood. Find a local blood bank, and donate blood. And don’t cop out on that “I just got a tattoo” excuse. In 18 states, you have to wait 12 months (sort of bullshit, really) but if you live in one of the other 32 states, you are eligible to donate blood immediately. Peep the criteria. So go get it done. You can wait until tomorrow, I’m cool with that.
