Since it was July Fourth last night, it was traditional to watch some fireworks. What can be more exciting than chemical reactions that explode high in the sky? Ever since going to Thunder Over Louisville, I have been disappointed with other firework displays. It's like getting giving someone a pair of Ultimate Ears Triplefi 10 earphones for a night and they have to resort back to iPod headphones; while most people are content with Apple headphones, the experience is ruined by something much greater.
It's great to celebrate with huge displays of explosions, first invented in China! It was quite upsetting when my family and I went to Disney World and didn't get the opportunity to watch the amazing firework show since it rained every night. To this day, I tell myself that I WILL see it one day and it's going to be remarkable. And every time I go to a fireworks display, I close my eyes and imagine what it would feel to experience the Disney World fireworks with the shapes of Mickey Mouse and such. And closing your eyes during fireworks is great! For the explosions will look much more incredible than it is (Result vary depending on your imagination) and there won't be that damn sound delay from the fireworks.
But the worst part isn't being disappointed by the quality of the show, it's probably the massive traffic jams that firework shows usually cause.
Last night this occurred in San Diego:
There are tons of videos on YouTube on this and it looked awesome. So my question for you is: Would you be upset it only lasted 30 seconds or be completely satisfied with the explosive 30 seconds?
