As I digest my Peanut Butter on English Muffin..washed down with Rum & Coke, I reminisce about last night. Already it seems like days ago. Maybe its because I've gone through so many mind sets in the last little while.
Saturday night I found myself dodging awe struck tourists and euphoric drunks on the the Las Vegas Strip. Down the length of the 2 1/2 mile stretch that I traveled(MGM Grand to Treasure Island), I struggled with a deep feeling of emptiness. It was like some sense of loneliness and desperation that had been waiting there among the Porn Leaflets & Trash lining the sidewalks and gutters had risen up and decided to latch onto me for some reason.
There are alot of really beautiful things to see on the strip, the fountain at Bellagio, the look on the faces of a couple strolling hand in hand among the Neon lights. All of these things only added to my sense of loneliness.
It's funny how you can be on top of the world one moment and barely keeping your head above water the next. You know what? Thats alright because this too shall pass. Just as I'm not at the heights I found myself a few nights ago, I will not stay at the depths I find myself tonight. Bring it on Big Bad World.
I'M GONNA SAVOR EVERY MOMENT.
