the fourth.

i hope everyone’s fourth was as cool as mine.  i got to eat my weight in ale-8’s and set off some explosives within close range of juveniles. 

my brother has a big fourth of july bash every year where we all go to his place and grill out, play some corn hole and washers, and when the sun goes down set about five hundred bucks in projectile explosives off in his front yard.  what fun.

this year we had a four man team shooting off the mortars.  me, clay, and his neighbors on either side of him.  me and chris on one side and clay and aubry on the other.  aubry was a newbie to the festivities so we’ll give him a pass but he better get on his game for next year.

it was a good show though.  me and chris would get ours lit and up in the air and while they were still burning colors in the sky, clay and aubry would have thier two mortars lit.  it’s a pretty impressive show for a neighborhood fireworks display.  and we set off a couple of those boxes full of mini mortars for the grand finale.  with me and chris still launching some of the big mortars behind the little ones.

i’d say the show ran a good twenty five minutes this year.  that’s about as long as it needs to be.  any more than that and i feel like chevy chase at the grand canyon.  yeah, yeah, let’s go.

good times, good times.

i think i got myself fired from my resturant job though.  hey, i told them on tuesday i wasn’t going to be there on saturday night.  sorry.  i’ve been working on prioritizing my life and clay’s fourth of july party trumps the part time resturant gig. 

norma left a mean message for me on my voice mail that said something like it was my responsibilty to get someone to cover my shift and if i didn’t get someone to cover or show up myself she would take me off the schedule permantly.  so, i kinda wonder if i’m fired or just taken off the schedule.  that would be sweet.  then i could just work when i wanted to.  which is kinda what i do anyway.

oh well, i need a better second job anyway.  who am i kidding.  i need a better first job.
