Vegas Baby!

Last weekend I went to Vegas and had a blast. Partied a little. Laxed a little. Ate good food. But I have to say that for someone with (self-diagnosed) ADD it is complete overstimulation on all fronts......

The flashing lights on everything.
The drunk people doing crazy stuff everywhere 24/7.
The video billboards everywhere.
The casinos with their crazy themes (volcanos, water shows, pirate ships etc).
The DJ's playing music in every language imaginable.
The people at the craps table going nuts while I'm trying to count the numbers on my cards during black jack to see if I have 21.
Beatles love and the 20 different people doing 20 completely different things.
The bartenders swinging above the bar on tire swings.
Even the candy store had so many colors and choices and candies I didn't even know what to do with myself (they even had white chocolate covered gummie bears).

So Vegas wore me out. I loved it but after 3 days I was 100% ready to get back to real life. When they say "what happens in vegas stays in Vegas"....well that would be my voice. I left my voice in Vegas and it has yet to return to full strength. In short, I will leave this post with a photo that helps to explain the type of shenanigans I got into which resulted in a total destruction of my vocal chords.



Final thought: How do people live there and stay alive?
