Happy Fourth of July everybody! Now go blow stuff up (fireworks) legally...
But remember that sometimes your own fireworks can suck, so maybe it could be best to watch a professional display!
And don't forget!

Fourth of July is coming....
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!

Random Thoughts of the Day
R.I.P. Michael Jackson, also known as the King of Pop
mmmm..... Chocolate Milk.....
Pizza Pies are not ACTUAL pies. What's up with that?
The Conduit first person shooter for the Wii is a GREAT GAME. (I may be writing an article on it soon)
Why do we Abbreviate the word Television? Its not THAT long of a word, and it's not hard at all to say.
Why is it IRONy and not Goldeny? Or maybe silvery? How about Oxygeny?
Cup.... what a funny word.
The word Shark has lost all meaning to me. ( but only after i said it 100+ times)
What is the REAL best thing since sliced bread?
R.I.P Billy Mays
How can you tell the ocean is friendly?... It waves!
I own three cats, and two of them are black..... they must cross my path several times a day, so how much bad luck do I have? It must be piling up because it hasn't happened yet.
Golden Retrievers are nice and all, but I really prefer my Platinum Bringer.
Oranges are basically spheres of orange tastiness.
Well, that's all for now. But until later updates, keep visiting. And KEEP IT RANDOM!

Turtles

On a side note, I apologize for the handwriting. It is difficult to write using a computer mouse.So until later updates, laugh at this, and Keep It RANDOM!!

My skin just learned how to tan and not burn this year.
This is the darkest my skin has ever been in my entire life.
Why is a Poker Playing Card company's name "Bicycle"? Shouldn't that be the name of an ACTUAL bicycle company?
Cats actually require more protein in their diet then Dogs.
The average person spends about 70% of their day staring at some kind of screen.
Apple sold more than 1 million Iphone 3G s units over the weekend. This was more than half of what was expected.
Global warming exists.
Go Green!! SAVE THE PENGUINS!!
I don't seem to have many random thoughts on this particular occasion, but believe me. I will have MANY MORE later.

Amazing Card Trick
Recently while stumbling through the vast internet, I found this video on Youtube of a card trick called "This 'n That"
Amazing huh? Well I think so. In fact I thought it was so amazing that I wanted to learn it as soon as the video was over. So I set out on my adventure to learn the Secrets of the This 'n That Card trick.
So after scouring the internet, and getting nowhere, I realized that the answer was in my Bookmarks, Wikihow. com. I don't know why I didn't check there first, but that doesn't matter.
I quickly found the "How to" Article about this card trick and was amazed on how simple it was! There are basically only two "Special Moves" you need to learn in order to do the trick effectively. I won't blow the magical secrets in this article, but if you want to ruin the magic for yourself by reading the wikihow article, go right ahead.
After only about a two whole days of practicing in front of the mirror and getting my story correct, I was quite proficient at performing the trick. Now it was time for the test subjects.
My first victim was my sister. I nailed all the trickery. She stared at me amazed for a second and then her only words were a playful "shut up". Then the second victim, My Brother. I didn't do quite as well that time in the beginning but the rest of the trick went off without a hitch. He too stared in amazement. His words were "I saw some of the stuff in the beginning but then later, I was thinking, 'Where did it go?!' "
Well it seems that now it is time to test this trick out on the streets where it was meant to be done. I have not had the chance to do this, but I am quite excited to see how I do, and also to see other people's reactions. If the reactions are even half as good as what some of David Blaine's (professional street magician) are, then I know I will not be disappointed.
So until then I will keep practicing this fun trick, and will try to remember to update as soon as I perform this trick on the streets, but until then. Keep it Random!
