fireworks.

two nights in a row in the middle of something i hate doesn't make me exactly easy to get along with. but last night wasn't nearly as bad as friday night. actually, looking back, i don't really have anything to complain about. i just hate crowds. especially crowds of stupid people. it makes it hard for me to be agreeable.

last night was the last night of 'fun' fest. truly something to celebrate. i mean, hey, the massive roadblock was going to be gone for another year. and i wanted to see the fireworks, otherwise i would have stayed home.

---

we were walking down the road, against the steady flow of people. i hear a voice behind me exclaim "this is getting really monotonous." and i turn around to agree. and then the guy starts telling me about his hypothesis. he says stuff like 'see...the earth is energy. nothing but energy. it's all e=mc2 times two. that's the secret...the times two. you gotta recognize. it's all about the energy and the times two.'

---

we were standing under a tree - adam, corey and me - and a cop told us to 'move along. find somewhere to go.' we must've looked suspicious.

---

we were so close to the fireworks that i was truly worried i was gonna get my eyebrows singed. i had to get into a neck-breaking position to see them. they were wonderful. most people don't really get excited about fireworks. i mean, they're pretty to look at, but what i like is how you can feel them inside. does that sound corny? i think you know what i mean, right? i just like that feeling.

traffic was a whore. we sat there for about an hour, moving approximately an inch every 5 minutes. at least i had adam beside me and snoop dogg playing on the stereo...that made it a little more bearable.
