Do you remember life before the internet?
Life before the internet was fantastic!
We created crazy worlds all around us not just on the internet.
We shared many expressions not just duckface.
We made real friends, got real hugs, and filled the air with real laughter.
As a child watching television, I used to think what a sacrifice it must be for people to shrink themselves down to live in my tv to entertain me.
As I grew, I realized that wasn’t how it worked.
With the internet, I find myself rethinking that.
Are we shrinking ourselves down into cellphones?
Maybe today we should put them down — live large and out loud.
Bloodstained foreign soil
Bloodstained American soil
Freedom isn’t free
In loving memory of those who gave their lives for American freedom
