"I think faith allows people to reject what is right in front of our eyes, which is that this thing, this existence, this consciousness, or whatever word you want to use for it, is all we have, and all we’ll ever have." — James Frey A Million Little Pieces
Happy post July 4th!
so we went to FDR drive for July 4th Macy’s Fireworks.
got a nice spot~ the fireworks were right in front of(and above) us~
so close that my neck hurt a little from viewing 
Before the fireworks, there were ppl handing out 3D viewing glasses sponsored by Target.
but there’s nothing 3D about it… instead, when u view from the glasses, all light spots started to grow halos around them~ i was confused (and all i could think of was how the effect makes lights look like tapioca~ yum) until I read the superscripted text inside the magic glasses: "see how this glasses turn lights into patterns and logos"
ah! logos! how come i didn’t realize it earlier!? the magic glasses turned lights into Target Logos!!!!! such a clever marketing idea!!!! took a pix through the magic glasses–>
apparently it’s nothing new.
some guy blogged this in 2004 Minneapolis:
"Some marketing genius over at Target Corp had devised these 3D like
glasses for viewing the fireworks. When you looked through them they
didn’t produce a 3D effect instead they turned any light source into a
clever little target-like bulls-eye. When the fireworks really got
going, it looked as if the sky was lit up with hundreds of differently
colored Target logos. Easily the best marketing idea of the year."
impressive! have to give Target many credits for this creative idea! too bad there’s no Target in Manhattan or else I’ll go shop there just for this.
All in all, fun experience! it was a happy 4th of July!
<— the grand finale of Macy’s fireworks. pretty~~~
