So, I’m drunk.

I’ve been drinking alone, on this St. Paddy’s eve, and my thoughts are churning. Like butta’. 

Today, I feel, was the first day that I was just me here in Vegas.  The past two weeks, on my days off, I had to drive to Cali and back. I loved those six hour drives for the solace they provided me and the ability to visit San Diego, my true love.  I love San Diego because it is everything I wish I was; trendy, full of character, and a bit too hard too get.  But, I didn’t really get to rest on my days off. Today, on my day off, I realized, that I’m a bit too much like Vegas. Extreme and volatile but, god dammit, a blast.  I got up early, cleaned out my car of the fast food debris, and went out into this facisimile land to explore. 

Vegas is about Casinos and, if you live here, your have to know how to navigate them.  Thusly, I made a decision during my drives of yore, to make a point and visit ever single casino in Vegas.  Today, I made the first step by visiting Red Rock Casino which is part of the “Station” family of casino’s off the strip.  I spent most of my morning there spending the money I won the previous day at one of the other Station Casino’s near our house. 

It was a day spent doing whatever the hell I wanted to without particularly caring about what anyone would say. I spent the day wasting money at the casino, then proceeded to Sam’s Club and bought a webcam and a 3 Gallon beverage dispenser.  The webcam was to skype with fam and friends and, well, the dispenser was just because every time I saw it a Sam’s club I wanted to buy it. 

I then came home but then went back out and had my first drink in Vegas.  By first I mean the first drink I purposefully went out to have.  It was at the casino by my house and it was damn good.  I got carded by the bartender (who had very large [fake] breasts) mostly becaue I felt awkward asking for it. It felt good, just going out and asking for a drink. It made me feel like I was breaking some sort of shell or something.

I really wanted to GO somewhere and DO something but I just didn’t know what to do. 

This night, however, was a sort of breaking the camels back night (whatever that means) and I think I’m going to risk imposing myself on this guy at work who’s cool and I feel I will have fun with. 

Anyhoo, I”m drunken and wanted to overshare.

I love you all and come to Vegas.
