So it’s the Fourth of July and it’s a big deal for Americans. We consider it our birthday, and we celebrate it by trying to blow up the sky with massive amounts of pyrotechnics in multiple cities in every single state. What’s more American than using something from China? If you’ve been to one fireworks show, you’ve been to them all. It’s usually about fifteen to twenty minutes of pretty explosions in the night sky, which culminates in a finale that always manages to leave you disappointed (mostly because you don’t want it to end). There’s always a bunch of people recording the fireworks on their phone rather than enjoying the spectacle. I don’t care how good the camera is on your phone, watching a fireworks display on an iPhone is not exciting at all. Fireworks aren’t cool unless you see them in person. The only way to truly experience them is to actually experience them. I’ve seen firework displays a bunch of times and even though they can be somewhat monotonous, there’s always a part of me that is totally mesmerized. I’ll know I’ve stopped appreciating life when I no longer appreciate fireworks.
