I just gotta say, this was one hell of a night for me this year.
God, I just love Independence day. It's nice remembering the day the world was saved from Alien Invaders by Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum.
I tell you, this country is becoming so fucked up, ironically taxes are through the roof in a country that seceded because of taxes, our national bird is going extinct, and fireworks, and age old tradition on the 4th, are banned from civilians for god knows what stupid excuse. Unaware, I went to my local fireworks stand. I find to my surprise all they are selling off are fountain. FUCKING FOUNTAINS. Who ever heard of celebrating the 4th of july with supposed fireworks that don't even lift off the ground! This year I said 'screw it,' drove halfway across the state, went to the nearest Indian reservation, and bought myself some REAL fireworks. Got myself 2 hours worth of fireworks. a pack of quadpacks, a box of flame balls, 2 packs of roman candles, 5 jumbo sized roman candles, and 'BignBold', a huge drum filled with fireworks, as the finale. Also, I bought 2 dozen boxes of sparklers. Want to experiment? Try this:
Take every single sparkler from the 2 dozen boxes, tape them together into a pile, stick into into the ground, light a sparkler, stick it into the center, and see the results. (Results are best seen at night)
If you want me to ruin what happens, view the spoiler.
You'll get a large, bright, eyebrow burning fireball that will make you shout a maniacal, satisfied cackle.
Anyway, back to my night. It took till 9:45 until it was dark enough to light fireworks. Immediately, me and the family started lighting off fireworks. It was quite the show. Halfway through the firing, though, the carebear police show up. Busted, right? Well, the guy was pretty nice, and let us go without a ticket. (the fine would have been 225 dollars. The amount I payed for the damn fireworks.)
After that, we had to throw away what fireworks we had left. We watched the fireworks going off that the state permitted in one event. The finale was pretty nice. But it doesn't say fourth of july when all you see in the sky are fireworks coming in one directions. Back in the day we'd have a sky full of fireworks that lit the entire city.
All in all, it was a pretty fun year. Mostly because of the adrenaline pumping law bending. But, you gotta do what you gotta do to preserve American spirit.
Anyone else have a fun experience tonight? Give a shoutout.
