On California Candles, blowing stuff up, and lameness

July 3rd, 2006

I have to work tonight which is lame. Lameness only exceeded by my having to work tomorrow night, and that lameness is only exceeded by not getting time and a half, or time and a anything extra. But America wasn’t founded just so I could complain about shit. No, America was founded so we could figure out how to blow more stuff up in new ways. I bought some fireworks Saturday, me and some friends were drinking on their porch. I thought I was buying roman candles, and I was trying to get a version of roman-candle dodgeball together (everyone gets roman candles instead of a ball). Turns out these are “California Candles.” Which means they just flare at the end, no fireballs or anything. I thought California was supposed to be cool. These are most definitely lame.

p.s. If you’re my boss and you’re reading this, I was joking about that lameness.

    man, they finally stopped blowing shit up here on the west side. maybe all the dogs on my block will stop howling and barking now. maybe i’ll stop ducking all the time. fireworks in urban areas=annoying. all i imagine when i hear them is “was that really worth 5 bucks? i’d do something way cooler for 5 bucks”.

    dammit, i spoke too soon. another fucking m-80 just went off.
