I MISS YOU

[Carsman]

Not one mention of yours truly. I'm hurt..I really fucking am!

Hope everyone has a kickass 4^th, and comes out with 8 fingers and 2 thumbs

I'm up to a friend's house to shoot off some fireworks in a few hours. I'll let you know how many fingers and thumbs I have left when I get back later tonight.

When I was a teenager on the 4^th, my dad and my uncle were lighting "M80's" and tossing them under a coffee can on the ground. Of course when it exploded, the can shot up around 50 feet into the air! We all laughed, it was fun.

So finally I talked them into letting me light one off myself.
I lit the fuse, and all in one motion tipped the can on the ground with my left hand, (like they did) and lifted my right hand up (like they did) to toss the M80 under the can, and "BOOM" (I wasn't fast enough) it exploded in my hand, close to my ear!

I had a terrible ringing in my ear, and we all looked and counted, I still had all 5 fingers (thank God) on my hand, still could see (thank God) and was shaken up beyond all belief!

I had that ringing in my ear for a few days, and my hand was a little swollen, and sore, but thank God, I still had it!

All three of us never told my mom a word of what happened, she knew something happened, but not what.
I was just happy that I was all in one piece!
