The 4th of July, also known as "Blow stuff up Legally Day" or more commonly "Independence Day" is tomorrow. It seems like everyone I know is going to be blowing stuff up, except me! I live in the city so if I wanted to go blow up stuff and make pretty lights legally I have to go all the way out the country.
What a hassle.
Who needs to Blow stuff up to celebrate our countries birth!? Who thought of that anyway? "Hey! lets celebrate the MAKING of our country by shooting off and DESTROYING colorful rockets!". Sounds fun.... Ok, Who am I kidding, IT IS FUN! Not to mention all the planning and calculating that goes into making professional Fireworks Displays. If they're even ONE second off, then the whole dispaly is ruined.
A lot more goes into making fireworks then you might think. Timed explosions, correct height. They even use different types of metals and other substances to make the different colors! One example is that Copper is used to make a green explosion. Some of the more complicated displays even use a computer to precisely shoot off each rocket so it is "in sync" with music that is playing.
Probably my favorite part of the 4th of July is the Twilight Zone marathon. Two or three days strait of the classic Twilight Zone! Maybe I'm just weird for liking that old TV show, or maybe not. I'm not really sure if anyone else I know, besides relatives, also watches the marathon each year.
It doesn't matter though, everyone knows what the REAL best part of the 4th of July is. Of course! its BLOWING STUFF UP! Not literally of course, you can only blow up fireworks, DUH.
I am not responsible for any unfortunate "blow ups" of anyone, anything, or any person's property. I do not advocate exploding just anything, so remember, Just explode the fireworks, and SAFETY FIRST!
