Monday, July 6, 2015 ~ I wanna go back...

[Chip]

I blew my finger open with a black cat when I was about 8. that hurt. I also had a roman candle backfire on me and go up my arm, and hit my eye. thank god no permanent damage to my eye. but my arm was damaged to the point I can't jerk off with it. no, not really. there is a scar on my arm from the burn though. I was 5 or 6.

we also locked a guy into a closet during a hockey tournament, in Laramie Wyoming. then threw thousands of lit bottle rockets inside with him. he almost died.

there was a whole sell firework store next to the hotel, what were we supposed to do, not buy any?

The closest I ever came to hurting myself was one year when we used to go camping at a lake for the 4th every year.
It was private property, and these people spent a ton of money on cool fireworks.
And they were really safe about them.
But one time, the next morning when I was lighting off fun stuff like black cats and bottle rockets, I found one that looked like a smaller black cat
so I picked it up and lit it.
Well it had fallen off a bigger firework so the wick went super fast. And it blew up in my hand. But it was tiny so it didn't hurt, just left my ears ringing.
