i heard firecrackers earlier.

what are you guys doing for the fourth?

last year i went to a bar by myself. my friend was working so i drank for free. i got super drunk and missed out on the fireworks. this year i hope to see some.

we have hot dogs too. i want to make some sort of dessert and potato salad. yum!

Everything cool is illegal around here. But I do like making Flower bombs with electrical tape and pennies

And I love smoke bombs too. basically anything that makes life feel a little bit more like a street riot, I'm all for.

i don't know mass laws yet but i remember bottle rockets being illegal in OK as a kid. we would go to arkansas to get them.

i have never heard of making a flower bomb before. interesting!

oh it's grand, but i couldn't find a picture of it. you basically just dump all the explodey powder from one flower into another, so there's twice as much. then you put a penny on the bottom and wrap the whole thing in electrical tape. depending on how good you do it, it's loud as fuck. And it makes me feel like Macgyver, if only for a few minutes.

all the good stuff is illiegal in MI, too. but with all of the firework tents that are up in every convenient store parking lot, there are definitely ways to get stuff that leaves the ground.

of course, i still prefer all of the stupid stuff i loved as a kid. like:

snakes, poppers, and sparklers!

For anyone who doesn't know, there's a loophole in state fireworks laws that allows you to buy fireworks in any state as long as you have an out of state ID regardless of the state's laws in which you are buying them.

For example, class c fireworks are illegal in both maryland and PA but all along the mason-dixon line there are year-round retailers and warehouses that sell fireworks because you can drive right over the state line and legally buy class c fireworks even though they are illegal for citizens of either state to buy or sell them in their own state.

You can go here to get a list of retailers nearest to your zipcode.
http://fireworksexpress.com/order.html

I suggest that you call any place before you take the trip because some of them have minimum amounts you have to spend. (the legal black-market can be shady)

preparing for my grad party tomorrow, maybe watching movies with friends, but mostly visiting with my brother and sister in law who are in town.

I celebrated last night with retarded drinking of whiskey and tequila and setting off M80's
I saw so much wiener after every guy decided to go skinny dipping in a raging, shit brown creek
It was embarrassingly out of control for me. ugh

My festivities began with morning sex and a new hole in my wall.
They will end with me being agitated by all of my drunk neighbors and with studying chemistry.
HOORAY GOOD TIMES.
