fighting over big blue plastic bins
happy two days after the fourth![or as i like to call it you-should-finally-be-over-your-budweiser-hangover-by-now day]here's hoping you didn't blow off limbs, touch the end of a sparkler after it went out, or torch your great grandmother's wig.
a big group of friends went to the fireworks, which was slightly better than last year's.[due to the extra money paid by places like my employment...hey that's where the money went!]afterwards, we went to sambo's house and blew up about five hundred dollars worth of illegal fireworks because she lives in the middle of jack nowhere and cops don't come out past their place too often. there had to have been thirty kids there. and most of them i hadn't seen since graduation. it was nice watching the boys light things[as their faces lit up like christmas morning had come]and run around with blowtorches. so that was my fourth o' july and i didn't do the above[mainly because my great grandmother is dead and i've already found out what happens when you touch the top of a sparkler]
in other news:yesterday, i was bringing in the garbage can and recycling bin after lunch with a friend, which is an easy chore for someone who serves the general public, right? wrong. i was listening to some music with my headphones and i was halfway up the drive with the bin when i felt this tap on my shoulder. i screamed and turned around to find suburban weed nazi standing shrtless in front of my with his big nips RIGHT IN MY EYE SOCKETS! i was watching him as he stared first at me and then the bin and then back to me. his mouth was moving but i still had my headphones on. so i pulled them down and he screamed(as if i was the one with elderly ears)"you have my bin! your mother didn't put yours out. that's mine!" oops. shuffles off...
in other other news: paul smucked the back of a car while we were coming home from the fireworks because his sister was yelling out the window. no harm, no foul though which is excellent.
quote of the day:"i'll never yell the spanish word for 'desk' out the window again."-[rachel]--yeah that's probably smart, brush up on spanish at home.
french phrase de jour:c'est le matin ou l'aprés-midi?(seh luh mah-teh(n) oo lah-preh-mee-dee?)is it morning or afternoon?--oh so you're not over your budweiser headache yet sir?
