At The Half
Do any of you fuckers realize that the year is halfway over? Then again, I'm sure you all realize that, I mean it will be July in a day and a half. I always look at the Fourth of July as the perfect halftime to the year. It is kind of like the Super Bowl halftime show; lots of nationwide performances along with fireworks and general excitement. And if the weather is bad, than it is disappointing just like the Super Bowl halftime show as well. And who knows, maybe I will have a wardrobe malfunction on the Fourth.
What I find funny though is that there seems to be a gradual build up to the Fourth of July. It seems like every year about a week or so before the Fourth, people start randomly lighting off fireworks. I just heard a loud one a few minutes ago which reminded me to write this paragraph. See, I don't know what possesses people to just randomly light off fireworks a week before the holiday. You would figure they would want to save their illegal fireworks for the Fourth, but I guess they want to try them out to make sure they work and do a dry run so they know how to react when they blow their hand right the fuck off. You know, kind of like a fire drill, only this would be a "oh shit, I blew the fuck out of my hand with this firework" drill.
But back to the year. Now I don't want to brag, but so far, it has been a very good year for me. I started off the year in Times Square and since my trip to New York I have taken three other trips. The first of those trips was a trip I won to see the Cubs play the Dodgers in Los Angeles. The second trip was a weekend trip to Milwaukee. The last and most recent trip was to Key West just a couple of weeks ago. So far I've got one more trip planned for the year and that is camping for a weekend in Wisconsin.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the year; it should be fun.

My year has been good so far too, I guess... the last few weeks less so because of a teenager in my house... but I did get to also go to Florida, so that was great. I'm looking forward to this time next year, as hopefully the teenager will be removed from my daily life as she graduates, goes to college and plans to get married and move away. yay me!
I think fireworks are pretty, I won't lie... but I do sort of think they are kind of stupid... I'd rather towns just have the one big show that everyone can watch, and not have all these hillbillies (some who are already missing fingers and hands) shooting off explosives all around my house.
