Vegas, Baby!!

So, I went to Vegas recently. Oh man....I've heard about how good it could be, but it's nothing like actually experiencing it!! It's like stepping out of the real world and into Narnia or something.

I know they say you can't talk about what happens in Vegas (or maybe that you shouldn't??), but I'm going to kinda break that rule right now. Oh, don't think I'm going into great detail, in fact, I'm not going into detail at all. I mean, I gotta keep the good stuff to myself. But I have to at least talk a little bit about it, so that it still seems real.

When I got there, I was really excited, and a little nervous...okay a lot nervous. I mean, it was something new and I didn't know what to expect. And one thing you don't realize right off, it's HUGE!! There's so much to take in!! I didn't know what to do first, where to start my adventure, so I just kinda dived right in. Soon, I really started feeling the heat (I mean, it's HOT) and I was sweating like crazy. I couldn't seem to get enough water. I thought I was gonna have a damn heat stroke. Don't worry, I survived, but it wasn't long before I was running out of fuel; I had to find some food. There just no way I was going to be able to keep pace without proper nourishment. Food isn't much different there, so I just snagged some pizza. Then, it was back to the Strip.

You know how you try to have your activities planned when you go somewhere?? Yeah, you pretty much can't do that in Vegas. It's like the plans are made for you and you just go along with it. Oh, don't get me wrong, you enjoy the hell out of it, but it just wasn't what you had planned.

Sometimes things are better that way. Let life take YOU by the horns every once in awhile. I didn't do anything crazy, like get a tattoo I'll regret, or one if those drive-through weddings, but I still feel like I have done the forbidden, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat!! I've been there, done that, bought a T-shirt.

I'm back in the real world now, the wardrobe is closed. It all still seems like a blurred dream. You know, the kind where you can't remember much of what happened, but you remember so vividly what you felt?? Yeah, it left that kind of impression on me. The awe, the wonder, that feeling of "I haven't even left yet, but I can't WAIT to come back!!" There was a lot of stuff I didn't get to try, see, or do...but don't worry, I'm going back first chance I get.

If you ever get the chance to go, do it. Go, and have a blast. Just don't tell me about it, because you know the rule:
