It's Mardi Gras folks and I'm stuck in Colorado, where most people don't even know when Mardi Gras is. I wanted to go to New Orleans this year, even talked about it with my room mate, but ultimately decided to be responsible. That and I don't have the money to spare.
AAAAAHHH! People here are so ignorant. I just heard a news anchor say "I used to like to collect those beads until I realized that people expected you to do things for those beads." NOT TRUE PEOPLE!!! There are plenty of places that you can go in New Orleans to collect beads without being "required" to do anything but CATCH them! I've caught loads of beads in New Orleans without compromising my standards. I wish I was there now...
But since I'm not, I do like to bring Mardi Gras to me. I held 2 Mardi Gras parties this year, one in January and the other this past Saturday. I make my Southern food and invite my friends over. I even make King Cake since buying a good one here is near impossible and expensive.
But today is the end of Carnival and I will put away the King Cake for another year. I will be responsible and go to work and class this afternoon and evening (wearing Mardi Gras beads, of course). And maybe next year I will be able to go down to New Orleans where people know the truth about Mardi Gras for the real party.
LESSEZ LES BON TEMPS ROULEZ!
