With this being Independence Day weekend, it seems appropriate to take a moment and pay our respects to one of the first female super heroes of World War II, Miss Victory! In an age dominated by super-powered men, she was a woman who simply decided that she could better aid her country by wearing a costume and fighting its enemies. By day, she was Joan Wayne, a stenographer. But, when America’s enemies needed a good beat down, she became Miss Victory!
Happy Independence Day!
This is my favorite holiday, Today is a day when we think about the past, consider the present, and have hope for the future. America has been through a lot in its history. It’s been through a lot in just my lifetime! Some people like to get down on America but there’s no other country that I would rather live in. This is my country and I love it.
From the Shattered to Lens to you, have a safe and healthy 4th of July!
Every 4th of July, the neighborhood is full of flags. This is one of my favorites.

Every summer, the small American flags appear all over our town.

This is from the end of my favorite musical biopic, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. It’s a beautiful ride, indeed.
Enjoy!

Today’s music video of the day is heaven in a box!
Geri Halliwell’s boyfriend doesn’t appreciate her so she drugs him and then brainwashes him. Whatever works! Her boyfriend is played by Aiden Turner, who also played Aiden Devane on All My Children. Aiden left the show in 2009 and it was canceled two years later. Coincidence? I think not.
Back in the day, Lisa and I would annoy the rest of our family by singing this song at the top of our lungs. The only part that we really knew was the part about bagging it up.
Enjoy!
