Where ever we go, Coca-Cola has already been." - Against Me! Monday, August 1, 2011. In an attempt to figure out the mettle of Steve Rogers, Dr. Erskine (played in the movie by Stanley Tucci), the German scientist who created the Super Soldier Serum, asked Rogers (played by Chris "I'm In Every Superhero Movie" Evans): "So.you want to kill Nazis? This is an important sentiment, not just for Captain America's character, which was thankfully well-rounded and intricate in the movie, but for America itself.

An American Abroad: March 2012

Where ever we go, Coca-Cola has already been." - Against Me! Saturday, March 24, 2012. The Problems of Living in Resort Towns. It makes doing routine things like grocery shopping or going to Spar especially obnoxious. I begrudgingly accept that there are not going to be a lot of bench spaces available on days like this, but I find I have little patience for people slowly stumbling about Co-Op looking for the sausages and rolls for an impromptu barbecue. Don't have to clean up the mess once THEY. Really, ...

An American Abroad: May 2012

Where ever we go, Coca-Cola has already been." - Against Me! Wednesday, May 2, 2012. This is why the Village's decision to demarcate the "historic" center of Bolingbrook seemed a little insignificant. Nonetheless, those in charge pushed forward, and now, driving around the southeastern part of town, the street signs are brown and there are signs letting people know they have entered "Historic Downtown" Bolingbrook, built in 1960. The UK is filled with stuff like this: castles dotting the landscape, house...

Where ever we go, Coca-Cola has already been." - Against Me! Sunday, August 17, 2014. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. An open letter for all those who find the challenge meaningless:. At some point when I was in college, my Dad was diagnosed with ALS, which everyone normally knows as Lou Gehrig's disease. [Gehrig gave a touching speech at the end of his career, which can be seen here. I think that's the full speech; the movie Pride of the Yankees. What point did it serve to help those with ALS? Then I did ...

An American Abroad: November 2011
http://keegan-lannon.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Where ever we go, Coca-Cola has already been." - Against Me! Thursday, November 24, 2011. Thankful for Things and Stuff. Three British people wished me a Happy Thanksgiving today. That was surprising due to the totally American nature of the holiday. Also, I don't know if I know of any British holidays. Does Guy Fawkes Day count? I liked V for Vendetta. So I try, like Natalie Portman before me, to remember the 5th of November. Does that count? That never seems to take). 1) "Hell or High Water" William El...

Where ever we go, Coca-Cola has already been." - Against Me! Thursday, October 20, 2011. As the Car Drives. I don't think that I am a demanding person. I understand that I am forced to share this world with other people, some of which are not nearly as considerate as I am. I don't mind that these people exist and take up the precious resources I would like to use for myself. Posted by Keegan Lannon. Links to this post. Friday, October 14, 2011. To be fair, Cameron's statement is not an entirely accepted ...

An American Abroad: September 2012
http://keegan-lannon.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Where ever we go, Coca-Cola has already been." - Against Me! Monday, September 17, 2012. In 2007, not too long after the 4th of July, my Dad passed away. My Dad had lived with a rapidly declining quality of life as he succumbed to ALS, a neuro-muscular disease that degenerates muscle while leaving the mind intact. That year, and every year since, my family has tried to raise some money for the Les Turner Foundation. Which researches cures and provides assistance to for those suffering from ALS. My sister...

Where ever we go, Coca-Cola has already been." - Against Me! Wednesday, August 22, 2012. Suburbs V Chicago: Reflections at a Funeral. I tell a lot of people I'm from Chicago, but this is not quite accurate. I was raised and currently live in Bolingbrook, IL, a suburb of about 75,000 people (according to the 2010 census and Wikipedia. Which makes the village the 17th largest incorporated area in Illinois). I tell people I am from Chicago for three reasons:. Posted by Keegan Lannon. Suburbs V Chicago: Refl...
