Fireworks really piss me off.

Dear Asshat residents of my Asshat little town,

Once upon a time I thought they were pretty, well the colored kind that explode up in the sky at least.  But this time every year they're gradually becoming the bane of my existence.

I'm tired of hearing people go on and on in this stupid town about how they have the RIGHT to set off fireworks!  Well yippity-do, I suppose you do.  I guess I don't have a right to have peace and quiet in my own home.  I guess my 3 year old doesn't have the right to go to sleep at night without being almost in sleepy-land and then being yanked back into wakefulness by an M-80 going off.  I guess my dogs don't have a right to not have to be cowering in corners in their own home, hiding from loud scary noises.  I guess it's just tough cookies for me that I have a child with a disability who rarely sleeps as it is but I get to wake up with him at all hours of the night so you can watch something go boom-boom. 

It's just total crap.  I'm NOT trying to be a party pooper, I would be open to all kinds of compromise on this issue.  But do fireworks REALLY need to be lit off here in suburbia, in your driveway?  YOU can choose to set your fireworks off somewhere else, my family and I can not CHOOSE to get away from them unless we want to vacate our own home.  Even if they are legal in the suburbs, do they really need to be legal for a week and a damn half before the 4th of July?  I could probably withstand one night of this bull if that was all I had to put up with. 

Not to mention that while I have ALWAYS found it insulting that people are comparing our current economy to the Great Depression, I find it to be even more offensive when suddenly an entire town of down trodden, financially oppressed folks come out in hordes with hundreds of dollars that they are basically planning to light on fire.  Glad to see that you can't pay your freaking water bill but you can buy out the VFW's Blackcat stand there Cletus. 

I could continue raving but now I have to go tend to dogs that are practically piddling themselves and catch a cup of coffee before my little boy gets woken back up by your Hilbilly Blaster 3000 Dynamite stick.  You.  Suck.  Ass.

Sincerely,

Firework hatin', Party Poopin' biotch

I couldn't help but think of this journal last night, July 6, a Monday (work day) at 11 pm, when I was lying in bed trying to sleep but couldn't because of the explosions going on behind my house. People's inconsideration with their parties and fireworks have turned me into a real scrooge at some pretty major holidays.
