I am a patriot

There's this telethon on TV tonight with a bunch of celebrities on it. I wasn't going to watch it, because I figured that it would just be a bunch of sappy We Are The World crap. Besides, I'm going to a party tonight, so I can't watch it. But I'm going to tape it, because I just found out that a member of my favorite band in the world is going to be there.

I haven't mentioned The Tragedy since I started freaking out about it last week. Thank you to the people who signed my guestbook who sympathized with me. I was getting too worked up about it and I was getting sick and headachy, so I had to stop thinking about it. I turned off the TV, I stopped checking CNN's page, I played the Sims, I played Castle of the Winds, I messed around with this diary, I watched some movies (Rat Race is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen), and I worked in the garden.

But since Eddie's going to be on TV tonight, I decided that I had to mention it again. I hope he doesn't sing We Are The World. I hope he sings the song that these lyrics come from:

I am a patriot, and I love my country,
Because my country is all I know.
Wanna be with my family,
People who understand me.
I got no place else to go.

I am a patriot, and I love my country,
Because my country is all I know.
And I ain't no communist,
And I ain't no socialist,
And I ain't no capitalist,
And I ain't no imperialist,
And I ain't no democrat,
Sure ain't no republican either,
I only know one party,
And that is freedom.
