Bang Bang Bang.
July 3rd, 2007 by trancejen
Fireworks season has been in effect in the ‘hood for, oh, about three fucking months now, so every evening has been punctuated by the sounds of cheap Chinese explosives ricocheting off of the night sky followed by the sound of my profuse swearing.
Is it just me, or are the fireworks bigger and louder this year? Are my neighbors dropping more cash for the premium shit or am I just older and more easily spooked?
I swear, I have been so jarred this summer by the big booms that I have jumped off of the couch/chair/bed more times than I can count; and my cats have been stalking around the house in a perpetual state of puffed-up freaked-out-ed-ness.
The cats probably believe that we are living in Iraq and are wondering how they ceased to remember that little car trip.
The shit goes on until at least four AM or so with no help from the local PD, who I can only assume can not possibly give less of a crap. And who can blame them? It’s only the sleep patterns of children that are suffering. The J-Man has taken to sleeping until at least nine because his nightly forays into dreamland have been assaulted so horrifically and lengthily.
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. At least save it for a couple of days before the fourth - that I can deal with.
The new next-door neighbors, who seem to have at least forty nocturnal grandchildren that visit for weeks on end, are huge fans of The Bang. Even in my little concrete-walled basement cave I can hear them going at it all night, and by cracky, if it goes on one day past the fourth I am going up on the roof with the hose and staging a massive all-out assault on the whole gaggle of them.
Be as “patriotic” as you like until July fourth, dear friends, but after that you shall no longer have the tolerance of this bitch.
After July fourth, I am Done. You have been warned.
I long for the simplicity and quiet, stinky mess of black snakes and smoke bombs.
Happy Tuesday.

The p’s have been complaining about the neighborhood hoods excessive enjoyment of the big booms lately too, so I think your correct that it’s getting pretty out of control. Maybe you could claim to the cops that somebody is shooting off a firearm of some sort instead? (Especially since that isn’t unheard of around the 4th anyway…)
I’ve got the city sponsored version of that shit going on out my window for the NEXT THREE DAYS! So I can also sympathize. Now if only I could see it instead of only being able to hear it, that might make up a little for the all the noise and crowd related annoyance.
Happy 4th you and the fam!

I concur. Why can’t we all agree to set them off at the same time, say 9:00 to 9:30 pm on the 4th? Sure it will be super loud, but the band-aid will come off all at once.
