World Series of Beer Pong 2

When I went to New York City in March 2006, I saw the Statue of Liberty in person for the first time in my life. Jenny and I stood beneath the Statue and even did our imitation of it's pose. For that reason and for many others, I needed to go back to Las Vegas and the New York New York Casino and pose with their Statue of Liberty and to compare and contrast the NYNY Casino and the real New York City. Since the Casino Statue was a bit smaller than the real one, it was a little difficult for Balkman to take a picture of me standing underneath her, but he got her done.

The World Series of Beer Pong was now over and we had nothing left to do but drive back to Milwaukee. Well...almost nothing. I needed to make a quick stop in Las Vegas to check out the New York New York Casino. Before leaving Mesquite, I took a picture of the palm trees in the Oasis parking lot because I knew that it would be a bit before I would see them again. I really like palm trees, and if I could have one in my house I would. Little did I know that in 3 months I would be in Orlando and 9 months later my Dad would buy me a palm tree that I could grow and keep in my house.

Jenny and I had seen some foreigners posing like gangsters in front of the real Brooklyn Bridge, so we thought it would be funny to copy/mock them. Since I did this pose at the real Brooklyn Bridge, I thought that it would only be right for me to do it at the fake one. It was hard convincing Balkman, Sara and Hummel that I needed to do this, but I knew that Jenny would love these pictures. Inside jokes are always hard to explain to other people, so I didn't try. I try to live without regrets, and if I do regret something, I make sure to go back and take care of that unfinished business. This time, I wouldn't have any regrets about my time in Las Vegas.

We spent a bit of time inside of the casino so that I could see if it truly resembled the real NYC. The builders of this hotel were very meticulous in their design and implementation of all things New York City. The interior of the hotel was spot on in comparison to the real NYC. Only the people who have been to both can really understand and appreciate what I am claiming to be the truth. For now, believe what I am saying, and later on make sure that you go to both NYC and Las Vegas and see for yourself. And speaking of truth, this sign is completely false, and I am proof.

Throughout my history of being me, I have often done the "Holla" pose. I don't really know why I do it, but it just seems to be the right thing to do when I am standing in front of something that is grand and spacious. Las Vegas is probably the epitome of grand and spacious (with the exception being the Grand Canyon) so I felt that it was necessary to do it while standing on this overpass overlooking the strip. It kind of sucks that there is this metal grill that impedes your view of the strip, but I guess it is necessary or else there would be a lot of people trying to jump off of it into the traffic below. Wow. I just realized how morose and messed up that sounds. I don't know what ran through my mind to conjure up that statement. It must have been the booze talking, but then that means that the booze has a very negative outlook on life. Shame on you booze.
