Well yesterday was Independance Day here in the States and I had tons of fun as usual. Every year I go to my aunts and we barbeque and light off fireworks and stuff. My grandmas birthday is today so every year we have a cake for here and celebrate it on the fourth. It seems like I spend most of my holidays at either my aunts or grandmas but we always have plenty of fun.

The fireworks this year were pretty good. My cousin tends to spend a lot of money on them and has one of the better non professional shows in the area. I was kinda disappointed that our show was so short this year though. My cousin is kinda a pyro and he couldn't wait and lit a bunch off on Sat. Still he lit over half off on Sat and we still had enough for a couple hours of fun. My favorite is always those spinning wheels that you nail to a board, one of these days they will give me a seizure or something it seems but they are sweet. We always have something big for our grand finale too and this year it was great.

The only downside to lighting off fireworks is my aunt is one of those pariniod overly safe people. Every year she tells my cousin hes not allowed to go pick up fireworks but every year he does anyways. We are safe when we light them though, we don't tend to do anything stupid. This year she seemed a bit worse cause a couple days ago there was a story on the news that some lady got killed lighting mortars. For those of you who don't know what mortars are they basicly are just balls that you drop down a launch tube and light. They are fairly loud and big and are always fun. Apparently this lady lit one and it didn't go so she decided to be crazy stupid. She walked up to the launch tube, looked down it and shook it. Big suprise that it blew up right in here face. Some people are just too stupid to light fireworks. I mean yeah its too bad she died but come on it was her own fault.
