Keep Fun In Check

In December 2004, my friend Steve and I went to Las Vegas. The mini vacation was fun. We stayed at Paris Las Vegas and Bellagio. When we stayed at the Bellagio, the hotel was nice to upgrade us a room with the lakeview. (The lakeview rooms have to view of the lake to watch the water shows.) The Bellagio hotel room was the best hotel room I stayed. The room kicked butt!!!

During the three day, two night trip, we gambled mostly $-) We played craps and the camel races at Luxor and $2-$4 limit Texas Hold'Em at Binions. Steve played craps, blackjack, and the slot machines at other casinos. We also shopped at the mall in Cesar's Place and The Venetian and walked around Historic Fremont Street. And we visited the Bellagio's Christmas theme indoor garden.

Big time fun for three days? Absolutely. Unfortunately, I lost my sunglasses. What happened was I wanted to get an outdoor shot. I placed my sunglasses on a bench. I took the picture. I forgot my sunglasses :-( After the horrible incident, I went to the Cesar's Place mall and purchased a new pair of sunglasses. The cost was $140.00, and that was one of the cheapest models. Gaaaa!

Lesson learned. Never have too much fun. For me, if I have too much fun, I loose my sense of awareness. Sure, I forgot the sunglasses. Everyone forgets. For me, I have an above average sense of awareness and it was a simple situation: put sunglasses down, take picture, pick up my sunglasses. Any bad event could ruin fun. Keep fun in check and keep the sense of awareness focused. I think people could both have fun and have senses active.

I admit, though, the loss of my sunglasses was a blessing in disguise. The sunglasses I lost was a pair of Vuarnet I purchased in 1997. Yeah, outdated glasses ;3 The $140.00 pair I purchased looks really great and much, much better than my Vuarnet. After purchasing my new pair, people tell me I looked great with the new pair XD
