10 Things I love about Vegas

  1. Pools on hot days
  2. The comfort and lack of agendas from fellow burners
  3. Sunset
  4. Moon rise
  5. The hills surrounding the city during sunset and dusk
  6. … hmmm, I’m stuck. How long can one stare at the screen trying to fill in the rest of this list. I just whipped out the 10 things I hate about Vegas.

When the wrong thing is easier that the right thing it is time for an evaluation.

10 things I hate about Vegas

  1. That people are routinely unreliable, flaky, and ambivalent
  2. That people really exist in their own micro-verse in spite of words that falsely portray otherwise
  3. That MPD is lazy, corrupt and civically irresponsible in my opinion
  4. That it is so unfriendly to pets
  5. That it is so hard for people on one side of town don’t connect to the people on the other side of town – “it’s too far” – it’s 20 minutes to drive almost anywhere in town!
  6. That dating here here has been so hard
  7. That greed and indulgence and dependence or so easy to find
  8. That unemployment is so high
  9. That I find it hard to believe in anyone here – politically, community, heroically
  10. That I personally have lived the life of a phoenix so many times and am looking forward to my next rebirth

There will be a few more lists while I think about my own accountability. Getting the negatives out first seemed to be the way to start.

Good Morning Me

Life takes some odd turns. While trying to figure out my ups from my downs I found something in the universe today that made me feel kinda good. Is it faith that things can be better; the eternal optimist. Or is it that for a few minutes things were bad, then they got better, and continued to be better?
Fuckit… it’s what the universe dealt. I went somewhere today looking for something that was no longer there; Blue Moon Vegas  is running itself into the ground. In my frustration I went to the Luxor pool and felt comfortable. Then I went to Perry & Alex place and stayed the rest of the afternoon onto the evening… and it was good. Better than plan a.
But tomorrow being Monday… tomorrow another new week of exploration… hopefully new eyes… new heart.
