Hello Seckmanaholics,
I’m doing a special Christmas in July tour, and Elizabeth
has allowed me to crash on her metaphorical couch.
Her sexy couch! |
I’m actually kind of excited to be writing on our nation’s
birthday, well alright it’s not TECHNICALLY the U.S.’s birthday, but let’s just
roll with it. Because I want to talk about America.
“You’re all weirdoes” |
And I’m so proud to have been born and raised in the states,
having a pretty rich cultural background. I’ve got German, Irish, Dutch,
English and even Cherokee ancestry. I’m just a big ole melting pot.
And a sexy beast. |
Is America perfect? Not by a long shot. Have we always done
the right thing? Hah, not even close. Would I trade living here for anywhere
else? Absolutely not!
So, in closing, let me just throw this out there. Where else
but America could everyone’s sweetheart Bill Pullman have the most awesome
speech ever, as brought to us by a German filmmaker.
Jay Mims doesn’t know the meaning of the word quit! He
lives with a passive-aggressive Dalek named Steve, and when not writing is
learning the mandolin. He writes books
and is far funnier on Facebook then in real life. He is terrible at Twitter. His
next book "The Gray Ghost Inn" is due out October 15, 2013. Feel free
to email him here.
You make me so happy!
ReplyDeleteAnd you make me giggle, so it's all good!
DeleteWelp, any friend of Elizabeth's is a friend of mine, so, hello, friend! Congrats on your books and October release. I look forward to popping over to Amazon and checking out the goods. Happy Independence Day! :)
ReplyDeleteJay is a good friend to have. Quirky, clever, funny...can't have enough friends like that!
DeleteWonderful! I LOVE America too, even though I'm British and have only visited once. I think you guys and gals are totally awesome. Not only do I love the way you speak, you also make the best movies in the world. If I could live anywhere in the world, I would choose North America :D
ReplyDeleteHappy Fourth July!!
MWAH X
And we'd be glad to have you...just so we could giggle when you say telly or something British like that ;)
DeleteSweet mother of mercy, I first saw that speech in the theaters! That was quite a while ago.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your books! and Happy Fourth of July!
I'll have to watch it...I was too busy to watch when I posted. I just trusted Jay that it was good.
DeleteHappy 4th of July to you! And I am so proud of this country and love it WAY too much to ever live anywhere else; no matter what our imperfections may be!
ReplyDeleteTotal red, white, and blue high fives on that jaybird!!
DeleteI want to marry 1990s Bill Pullman. It's the hair. Somebody find me a TARDIS.
ReplyDeleteI would...if I knew where to look...
DeleteHappy Fourth of July! I wouldn't live anywhere else. I love the speech.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't either!
DeleteHope your Fourth was wonderful.
Ah yes, this is very good that Elizabeth has brought further awareness of you on her fine site.
ReplyDeleteA writing melting pot author, I like that. And y'all have a peaceful, positive Fourth of July. Let's rejoice in an all different, all equal world.
Gary :)
If only the whole world could have it as good as we've got it, Gary. We have our problems, but compared with some places, we are living in paradise.

ReplyDeleteAs a veteran, I always appreciate it when citizens love our country despite its faults. There really is no place better.
And at every meeting there is chocolate! I'm liking this.
DeleteEven with our faults, I wouldn't trade this country for any other.
Congrats Jay on your books and a rich heritage. Happy 4th.
ReplyDeleteMost all of us are mutts of one sort or another, but that's a good thing!
DeleteHope your 4th was a blast! Good to meet you, Jay! :)
ReplyDeleteYou too David!
DeleteLOL. You have a great sense of humor, Jay! You're writing is sure to be great!
ReplyDeleteYes he does Ashley!
