4th of July

Is vastly overrated. Within minutes of arranging bottle caps into a line and lighting them all off at once, you start to wonder how many more you feel obligated to do. For two years I have had the same stash of fireworks, and for two years I have barely shot off any. The public show is good though, but aside from that it is overrated. A lot of people don't even think of it as a patriotic holiday either, it has just become a way for us Americans to turn our cash into mini explosives.
