Whoever invented fireworks I love them.... and hate them!
So last night we went to a Rockies game and sat in a place called the Rockpile. They are the cheap seats with bleachers. So rowdy people sit there and just poor people like us. But the best part is that since there are fireworks, we got to go sit down on the field for the show... AMAZING! Not only was I on the Rockies field, I got to lay and watch the fireworks. I really think they put on one of the best shows I have ever seen. I got to see them last september also. Anyways that whole experience was amazing.
Then you have my neighborhood. There is something about the city and people with fireworks... they love them. One of my housemates that has lived her whole life in the city said that its just something people do... mind you they are ILLEGAL!! I think they are illegal in all of colorado because of the dought like conditions. For the past 2 weeks people have been setting them off every night. Mainly just Black Cats, but every once in a while i look out the window and there is a really pretty show in the park. If you didn't know, I live in the ghetto, and one of the worst city parks in Denver is right across the street from me. As in there have been killings there... and yes this year. So anyways I got scared the first few nights, but now i can say that I know the difference between fireworks and gun shots. Kinda funny really.
So my year of service is almost over and I'm really happy. Work right now is just really slow and also im starting to get tired of the mandatory hangout time with my house that is required of me. Not to mention the monday night sharing of feelings. Some people are starting to get on my nerves too. I think I have been spending more time with some people and im like hello get a grip. But I also know I will miss them and miss the things that they do. I know that I can go downstairs and 75% of the time I will see another person. You are never alone... no going down in your bra and panties... like i never do that when im by myself anyways, but still. It's also nice since it is summer, there are so many things going on. I have gone to a few concerts and just hung out with different people. I sometimes think why am I not staying up here, but then I know in my heart that I miss my family and friends a lot. So I have to come back and be with them. Earlier in the year my plan was to move up to Denver in 2 years, but it might just be a big city in Texas like Austin, Houston or Dallas. I can always get flights to come skiing or hiking or whatever. (pause for fireworks show out the window)
HOLY FREAKIN COW!!! I can't believe this... so i look out the window and there are fireworks flying over our house. So preface is that we are in one of the poorest parts of denver. So supposedly every house has to buy their own fireworks for the 4th. I walk out to the corner and look in every direction from my house and I see fireworks. I was like holy cow. I mean they set them up in the middle of the street. It's sooo weird to me. I can't believe it. I have seen more fireworks this 4th of July then I have the rest of my life. I'm not even kidding. I know that I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight its going to be impossible. I also know how people in wars feel. I keep feeling like I'm getting bombarded.
Well I have to go watch these now and just watch for things. And just chill for a while. Happy 4th all! I'll finish updating later!
