¡Independencia!

I have been pretty lazy and bored during this break so far. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm not sitting in a darkened room crying softly to myself for large portions of the day while listening to four Postal Service songs on repeat (yes). I mean I've been getting out, doing stuff, cool stuff, ya know. But anyways, I was perusing the internet when I came across the notion of a "micronation." Pretty much, micronations are imagined countries, modeled after the nation-state but they only exist either in the imagination of their creator or on incredibly small created islands, one of these is called Sealand, info is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealand and i'd make the links better but i can't so drew has to. Anyways, pretty much the notion of a nation is taken for granted as it is, but what is to stop us at the Monstrosity from declaring our own micronation. We would get to make our own currency (beer), and elect a president, this would probably be a bloody electoral campaign that would leave us all dead, therefore I'd probalby propose that we all submit to a benevolent dictatorship under the wise guidance of Olmstead. Other government officials in the micronation of Monstrosity might be:

First Knight of Technology: Drew
Prince of Corrections: Hans Bengtson
Head of Ministry of Distillation and Photography: Garrett Stiles
Twin Towers of Sport: Lane Aikin, Alex Carlson
Director of the Life Aquatic: Julian Trowbridge
Historian, Librarian, Documentarian: Daniel Baxter
Arborial Specialist, Long-Haul Transportation Coordinator: Gus Gustafson
Dude who invented this whole thing and posted it on a blog: Aaron Mandel
