Leaving tonight on a midnight flight from Hong Kong to Paris. Looks like I’ll be spending the 4th of July amongst those wussy, traitorous Frenchies. Man did we ever show them, running off to Iraq and kicking some major terrorist ass. I’ll be sure to rub their faces in how NOT bogged-down, costly, and pointless US adventures there are. Go America!

Actually, I make a pretty terrible ambassador for America, despite the fact that my name is “American”, perhaps even in spite of that fact. The truth is that over the years I’ve watched people’s first time reactions to my name go from something like, “Wow, American… that’s a really cool name.” to “F**k dude, what was your mom thinking?!”All over the world, from Japan to India, people just don’t seem to like America much anymore.

With Bad Day LA I’m trying to do my part to show the world that we’re not all “bad” Americans. After France I’m heading to Germany, then Russia. Will let you know how it goes. Wish me luck…
