Vegas Teaches...

I had one of the greatest trips to Vegas in a very long time. I went with two of my oldest friends (20 years) and just had a really relaxing time. There were a few things I noticed though while watching people, having my drinks, and being awake at 5/6 am (cause THAT'S how you do Vegas).

For starters, I realized that it doesn't matter your body type, your style, or look; anybody can get a "hot" person. I've always 'known' this to be a fact, and in theory have always had that concept that confidence is what attracts others. But when it comes down to pool time in Vegas, there are some seriously funky looking people, and some seriously gorgeous looking people. Sure we can attribute alcohol to their poor eye sight, but to be completely honest, their body language didn't show intoxication. Just an interesting sight to behold when a dude with a massive beer gut, bleached white skin and an incredible farmers tan, is able to have some "barbie" model on his arm.

Secondly, the walk of shame starts at about 5 am, and it's very difficult NOT to make fun and say something to a total stranger who is too ashamed to look at anyone.

Third, I could wear a suit everyday. I love wearing a suit. I'm not one to be cocky, or egotistical... well... not typically... usually... often? I make valid attempts to be humble, on occasion, er... a few times a... well; I try. But I look good in a suit. And I really love feeling good. So if there's something wrong with me feeling good, you can shove it, because I like it. I do what I want!

I wanted to have a forth, or at least more the list. But I don't really have much else to say. I think it's great that Vegas says: "What happens here, stays here." But you know that crap is online. People are stupid. Total sheep. I love watching their idiocy. Granted, I tend to become part of that idiocy, and that's still just as fun. I think I like having more of a group when I go to the pool, because it makes it more of a party and easier to be social with strangers. I really wanted to lindy bomb the pool. And that's not a bad thing people. That just means I wanted to have some dancer friends with me to dance in the lazy river and show off the skills we got to the random dance music.
I also really like having classy stuff. I mean, going to Vegas on the cheap is great. But if you can do some high class suite, or high roller, baller status, room? Do it! Granted, you aren't there much, or at least shouldn't be. But when you are, it feels nice. The trip as a whole was incredible. The car we rented only had 240 miles on it, was a Black Dodge Avenger, and looked very stylish. The hotel accommodations were great. I mean, I spent hardly anything, and felt like I had spent a crap-ton. Really swanky stuff. So needless to say, a tie was required for whenever I went out. And I do love wearing a tie.

I also caught up with an old friend while I was there. I'd say more than a friend, but I've never really been one to divulge the intricacies of my relationships... wait... do I?? No.... no, I don't think I do, not on here anyways. But regardless, it was friggin' fantastic to catch up and return those old memories to the forefront. Been awhile since I had been able to just sit and talk with a good friend who I hadn't seen in so many years and yet still read me and knew me like it was yesterday. Great end to a awesome day.

I really feel I'm missing something here. Hmmm... Nope. I think I'm good. I would like to branch out of my little "Vegas" bubble I think. The only people I've ever gone to Vegas with are people that I had grown up with, friends I had known for well over 5, if not 7 years. Anyone else, I never bothered to go. I guess there's just a deeper sense of friendship I hold on to that restrains me from being 100% completely open to everyone else. Not that they aren't all great and amazing friends, but it's something I'm definitely realizing after this trip. Vacations, trips and excursions with people you think you know super well, can quickly change in setting that is completely different from the norm. I could just be being super cautious as I don't want to lose those people I've gained as close friends. Not that I would push them away, nor would I judge them by any means. But with my wiring, if I'm not enjoying their company, and I realize that I'm more annoyed with them than I am with having fun, then I'm going to make some changes; and quickly at that.

I might be rambling. It's 10pm, I've slept all of 8 hours in 3 days? It's quite possible that I'm completely delirious and .... I digress, I'm exhausted. I need to write more, and more so when I'm in a more comprehensive state of mind.

Shut up, this all made sense in my head.
