America’s Birthday

Random

It’s the 4th of July. It’s a birthday… a country’s birthday, so kneel, suckers (especially to you foreigners, hehe)! The US has survived another year since its independence some 300 years ago, despite numerous oppositions, oppressions, trash talk, and other various offenses from various other sources (that won’t be mentioned to maintain the integrity of this post). :P

Because fireworks are freaking awesome, I and my trusty troupe of friends next door decided to go out for fireworks shopping. Block by block have vendors, smugglers, and legal salesmen set up fireworks stands in hopes of harboring some raw cash in exchange for legal, colorful explosive devices deemed only valid for this special even-numbered day. However browsing through from the lowest freebie firecrackers, to the $500 big kalamazoo Disneyland-style fireworks extravaganza box, the lot of us forgot to bring one vital component necessary to own these: Money.

Who the hell does that?!?

Anyway, happy 4th of July, I hope you’re having a great time playing with explosive, colorful fireworks!

My family knows a bunch of people who own fireworks stands so we always get good deals on fireworks. I freakin’ got $20 stuff for $8 and other good deals like that. There is always a huge gathering at the beach by my house, fireworks going off everywhere, people getting hurt, houses on fire etc. A night display got knocked over and it freakin’ almost lit me on fire, LOL.

Ever try Roman Candle wars? It’s FUN.

Gah, you’re lucky fireworks are legal there. Stupid laws make it illegal to have anything except sparklers. But with my track record, it’s probably a good thing nothing is legal here for the safety of other people’s property and my life.
