Pyrotechnics

So my parents and i shoot fireworks for a living. To the left is an example of what the company my dad works for puts on for most of their customers. Yes that is an actual picture of an AM pyrotechnics show. One might ask themselves how something like this is created. Well like any kind of artist it all starts with a vision in Mr. Aaron Mayfield's head. Once he knows exactly what he wants he creates a script for whoever he sends to shoot that show. For a show like the one you see above, we use a firing system called "fire One". This type of system allows aaron to put a lot in the sky at one time and it also allows him to set the fireworks to music with awesome precision. Now you might ask your self how this works. Before the set up of the show, each shell (firework) is labled with three-four numbers depending on the size of the show. The first number is the position number 1=front 2=main show 3=finale then the second number is the rack number and the third number is the gun number and the fourth number is the que number for the firing system. After everything is all qued up then the system is plugged into a lap top and its as easy as pusing enter. The End result looks somthing like this:

Ths Is Amazing

So Watch this video before reading the rest of this entry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9-CS2v8wcc
Now a lot of people would judge this guy by how high this guy can sing but i find it amazing. Anybody that has that high of a falsetto and can control their voice like that is a damn good singer by me. I don't care what anybody says if i had a voice like that i would do more than just put videos on youtube. ne ways just thought i would share this with you hope you enjoyed ttyl

My Dog

I love dogs. Pitt bulls to be in particular. I was raised around them all my life and i can't see myself with any other type of dog than a pitt. They are the most loyal, nice dogs ever if you treat them right. That sounds about like any thing else. Any ways this post is to tell you about my baby girl named libby. Libby is a black and white(Kinda like a Cow) 1 year old pitt bull. Shes very playful but would never think about biting somebody(unless they were trying to hurt me). She was born from my dads male named pyro and my brothers female name ally. Now her dad is where she gets her black and white from but her mom is where she gets her patteren from. She has more white than she does black and her face is exactly half and half. She so cute. She was a really fat puppy when she was born. Here are some Pics

My favorite thing to do with my friends

Friends, Friends, Friends what would one do with out them. My life revolves around my friends right now. Not only do they provide fun and happiness they provide a sort of support that family doesn't. My favorite thing to do with my friends is going out on one of my friends boat and going wakeboarding, skiing, and kneeboarding. There is usually a large group of us that go on the boat so in between turns can be kinda long. So just hangin out on the boat listening to music and drinkin some gatorade and enjoyin each others company is something i really enjoy. Everyonce in a while we'll do something really random like go to the state park and get ice cream but we usually just chilax and do water sports. Every year we get two boats and we go to the fireworks show that they shoot over the water on the fourth of july. Thats a really fun time too cause there are a lot of people during the fourth of july. After the fire works everybody goes back to the small resort and shoot all of their night time fireworks. Its just a really fun time whre memories are made that last a lifetime. One year there were so many fire works to shoot off that we were shooting till about 23o in the morning. CRAZY i know! This is my favorite thing to do with my friends.

Whenever I Think of Total Darkness

The first thing that comes to mind whenever i think of total darkness is my bedroom. Ever since i was a little kid i never slept with a night light and was never scared of the dark. I have to have where ever im sleeping as dark as possible, total darkness if possible. I don't know why i like this but i do......whenever i have somebody stay the night and they stay up longer than me and they leave the tv on i will wake up really quick and tun it off....i absolutely can't stand having the tv on at night. I used to live in the country where there's no city lights or street lights so it was never hard to get my room this way. Now that i've moved to springfield thats all changed so i've had to adjust having a little light come in off the street even with the blinds closed. Thats what i think of when i think total darkness

My Favorite Dish

My favorite dish of all time would have to be my dads burritos. Dad started making them when i was probably eight or nine years old. We lived in this really old slave plantation house in lexington, missouri. He started by cooking the basics: Ground seasoned beef, rice and refried beans. Next he would make the burritos stuffing them in this order: Beans, Rice, Meat, then shredded cheese. After he got them all rolled up he would put them in a baking pan and pour green enchilada sauce over them them put a thick layer of cheese over them. Next he put them in the oven to melt the cheese. And thats all there is to it...ever since i've moved out i've craved them a lot. I want to make them for my room mates but money for groceries runs kinda scarce when your a college student. Any ways thats my favorite dish

Arrogant People

I just don't understand why people have to so arrogant to the point where their arrogance gets to their head and they start getting darn right mean! I just recently met this guy who one of my roommates was thinking about dating and he wasn't even nice for a while, not even long enough to get to know my personality. After like three or four minutes he was making gay jokes and fat jokes. Now being who i am those things don't offend me, but he didn't know that. So i get to talkin to him and he happens to be from a town where i know a lot of people. So we're talkin and he asked me who i knew so i named a few people and i named one person and he asked me what i thought of that person. I'm a very honest person and the person he stopped me at i really didn't like so when he asked me what i thought i told him...this happened to be one of his best friends but you know what because he was an asswhole to be right off the get go i didn't care and wasn't sugar coating anything behind my reasoning.....it kinda made him mad but i didn't care because he didn't treat me with respect to begin with so i felt like i didn't have to give him any respect in return. This my genral view on most arrogant people. Most arrogant people don't have any reason to be arrogant but they are. Any ways thats all ttyl

School Change

So i made an executive decision today, Im going to start the certified medical assisting program at vatterott college on june 11! No more prereqs, no more uninteresting boring ass lectures, okay so maybe the medical teminology but after that the fun hands on starts. Hopefully this will make my job search a little easier!!!!!! I just really hope i have the support of my family especially the same support from my grandparents that have helped me the most through school. I know, my lifetime goal is to be a Doctor, but i think for me personally taking small stepping stones to get there is the best path for me. So i hope it all works out in the end! ttyl

So its gettin to be that time of year again, yep thats right time for FIREWORKS!! My parents and I shoot professional pyrotechnics for a living. Even though the business slows down a lot in the winter time, it is an all year round business. The company we work for is called AM Pyrotechnics and this company is one of the biggest in manufacturing, and pyromusicals. Here in a few weeks we get to go shoot a show for Reba MacEntire and Toby Kieth down in Oklahoma. In the past we've shot shows for Nickelback, Uncle Kracker and a few others. Just recently, we did the proximity fireworks for Disney on Ice here in Springfield. We also shoot all of the Springfield Cardinals games so if you've ever seen the fireworks after the game, that was us :-) We do some private parties and those are the funniest shows because private shows are a lot more leniant with rules of who can and who can't be on the shoot site. And there's usually free food involved. Another big one we shoot that most people are familar with is James River's I Love America Celebration. We still have yet to get Firefall but we're working on it. Well thats what me and my family do for a living ttyl

In between A rock and A hard place!

So being that i can't find a job i have two options 1. i can either find a job up here and try to make enough money to stay in my lease or 2. try to get out of my lease and move back home with my parents. I really enjoy living on my own though and if i move back home it will make me feel like a failure. And i really want to stay on my own. I just don't know what to do there's a part of me that says i need to get out of my lease and theres another part of me that says it will be okay and i need to get through it, this is just a hard time and i can make it. I know im young and probably a little stuborn but i just want whats best for me. Thats all for now.

I Think My House is HAUNTED!

OKAY so the other day my roommates and I were at my apartment and i swear to my good lord above there was somebody standing out on my balcony. The three of us were inside. Then another time we were all three sitting on my bed on the computer and we all three see a shadow go by in the kitchen. It kinda freaked us all out! I really don't know where this ghost came from. He/She just showed up. Then one of my roommates was here by herself and she was in the bathroom putting on her makeup and she felt sombody walk behind her and her hair moved and then it touched her shoulder, i got home about 10 minutes later and she was sitting on the stairs outside the apartment terrified and crying. So tell me what should i do about this random ghost???

OMG my friends almost died

Ok so i almost lost two of my really good friends in a car accident. So this is what happen, my friends lexi and lindsey were just driving around and listening to music and of course textin. So my friend lindsey who was driving was going way to fast down this one road in hickory county RB. They were jammin out to the song "shes country" by Jason Aldean then lindsey got a text message. She then checked it not knowing that the end of the road was coming up and ran right through the stop sign and hit the ditch on the other side of 83 highway and fliped lindseys car. they were both okay walking away with just scrapes, bumps, and bruises but the car was totalled and lindsey got a ticket for running a stop sign and she had a little alchohol in her system so she also go an MIP but luckly they were both okay and i didn't loose either my lexi or my lindsey!

Cant Find a Job

So in todays economy its nearly impossible to find a job! Ive applied at every place possible and i get told the same thing everytime "we're looking for somebody with a little more experience" that just kinda pisses me off more and more everytime i hear it. I apply for the job to try to gain the experience but NO nobody wants to take a chance that i might acutally be good at that job and that alls i would need is a little orientation to the job....its so freakin aggravating. Not even McDonalds is hiring now thats bad. But i finally think i might have found something. St. Johns is nearly impossible to get on so i applied at the cafeteria which is always hiring and its really easy to get on in dietary services....hopefully it all works out. After a year working in dietary i can transfer to the floor. So this has been my luck tring to find a job after i got fired
