I don't really get excited for fireworks much anymore, I think it's because all the years I was at my grandma's house I kind of got phased out by them. She use to live over the river by what use to be called "Sec Taylor Stadium" and what is now called Principle Park. Around this time of the year we would hear the fireworks go off after every game and people would drive over that hill to watch the fireworks and the family would go in the backyard in our all ready perfect view of the fireworks. I use to get excited every year watching them but it's always the same show, nothing very impressive.
Actually this whole 3 day weekend I didn't much at all beside spend most of it with my family or home playing video games and catching up with my recorded TV. Friday I did go out but I wasn't really feeling the places we went but for some reason I thought I should stay. Before I was planning on going out for 80/35, those who are not from Iowa it's a music festival with bands local and national performing for 2 nights. Usually I would be all about it being one of those people who gets a few drinks in them and jamming to their favorite bands those nights. I pretty much turned everybody down Saturday night, I just wasn't down for this year's Independence Day or something.
I am really eager to get out of this state for a while though... Me and my cousin are spending a weekend in Kansas City next week just to be out, I just wanted some time off from Iowa and the people here. Not that I don't love you all, it's nice to take a break sometimes.
