Welcome to Chaos !!

So since last year a large Ferris wheel the High Roller has operated down on the Strip.
Well, it's actually not on the Strip, it's somewhat behind. If they could had put it on the Strip actually the views from the High Roller would had been spectacular. I have not been on the High Roller, not sure if I want to but it sure does look pretty with the colors changing against the Las Vegas backdrop.



If you look closely you can see me!



Pretty art on the Strip. The have opened a Kitson store down there too now.



Chinese New Years is coming up. This year it's the year of the goat. I've also seen sheep. Maybe goat and sheep is the same?



I went to the Forum Shops last night for a quick browsing session. Loved two bras at Victoria's Secret, a light blue one and a white one with crystals. Then I found a Balenciaga bag that was super cute. I want a new bag, my mind was set on a Prada until I saw the Balenciaga yesterday but at the same time I am hesitant if I really need a new bag (honestly I don't).



Then I ended up at Little Darlings. I did not know it but Mary Carey was performing last night. So I saw her do her show, three songs of.....I don't even know how to describe it. Mary Carey looks like she is stuck in the 90's and her moves are very fast and jerky, not alluring whatsoever. I know she does her thing but it was not a pretty sight. I'm sure she has plenty of male fans but to me she looked kind of insane.
Besides that they only played rap and ass shaking was on the menu. I saw one pretty girl go on stage and the rest were just meh....there were a lot of girls though and I did not see them all and after 15 minutes or so I was bored. But I stayed for about two hours hoping to see something good on stage.....but no. Little Darlings has lots of theme night.....like "Electronic Dance Mondays", rock music and stripper boxing on Wednesdays, "Throwback Thursdays" with music from the 80' and 90's. Perhaps those nights are better. The crowd was very ghetto, they even allow guys to slap the girls butts when they are on stage (just really awful and tasteless) the whole vibe was trashy actually. Not a club for me. But like I said, maybe the other nights are better.

It's almost 4 am here in Vegas, I am exhausted physically and mentally.....so far my 2015 had been rather challenging (and fun too) but I will pull through somehow, if anything for Chhaya and my Mom.
But back to the important story about what happened in Paris, France. Sadly here we go again. Islam the peaceful (really? HA HA what a JOKE!) religion has reared it's ugly head yet again and spread terror and bloodshed. If you do not know what happened in France yesterday I suggest that you find out, it is important. In fact.....I find people that do not care (when they have the means to care) about important global events to be rather unevolved/lazy/self absorbed. Wake the fuck up, at least a little! Or are you just plain dumb?
If so, I guess that's a valid excuse, being dumb that is.
Educated and intelligent people lost their lives because some cowards decided that they and many others were offended due to some, according to them, inappropriate cartoon. Here we go again, anger over a cartoon.
Most religions are based on stories. Stories that nobody that is alive today can vouch for.
A story that some believe in so blindly that they justify killing others in the name of their God. If you openly criticize (use the term criticize broadly here as it can be joke about also) anything pertaining to Islam or Mohammed (or however his name is spelled, cause honestly I don't give a fuck at this point) you get on the bad list and might get killed. There are plenty of examples already of people either murdered or injured because they did, said or wrote something that rubbed some fundamental Muslims the wrong way. I believe that there is an ongoing Islamization of the world and believe me, after seeing some examples of what happens to people if you do not want to become a Muslim, then NO THANKS, I have zero desire to live in a world where I have to live in fear, cover up under a sheet, have my rights taken away from me etc etc.
Back in the day.....hundreds of years ago people did burn women in the name of religion and hunted down and forced Christianity on people but that was a long time ago. Just as women had no right to vote, actually not that long ago. We are supposed to evolve as humans.
And some have evolved and other are stagnant, stomping in the same spot.
I am outraged over what happened in France. The cowards that brutally murdered and injured the victims should be executed in public. That is what I believe. In some Muslim countries people get stoned to death for committing much smaller crimes, sometimes even innocent people get stoned to death. Here we have some cowards that decided to go on a killing spree. I say take them to underneath the Eiffel Tower and give them each one bullet in the head and send their bodies off to their real country, since obviously they had no regard for France although some of them apparently were born there. What a shame! Wake up! Really. No more playing nice and trying to help people that do not appreciate it and don't want help and kindness anyway. Stop catering to bullshit.
This picture fills my heart with much sadness and my eyes with tears. My stomach hurts when I think about what that man went through before he got executed. Only a true piece of shit coward would do such a thing. I pray that the police officer is in a better place now.
If there is a God, he is with God now and the other victims too.
Freedom of speech and personal freedom is everybody's right. Even if you get offended.
So what? I am fucking sick and tired if people getting offended over everything. I am offended that YOU get offended. OK!?
Richard Dawkins, "No, all religions are NOT equally violent. Some have never been violent, some gave it up centuries ago. One religion conspicuously didn’t."

I have been indulging in all of my fave foods. Sambalatte in the morning. Or a morning latte and a pastry or two from Whole Foods.



Today I went to a place called Pieology. You basically build your own pizza and oh it was YUMMY! I shall return there. Pieology is located at the Summerlin mall on Sahara and 215.
I didn't even know there was a mall there until this evening and it was a great surprise because many of my fave stores are there, now I don't have to drive down to the Strip to go shopping. Unless I want to stroll around inside the Fashion Show Mall, still my fave mall in Vegas.





Then I went to Red Rock hotel and casino and had one of these things, a lemon and meringue tart. I think I need to go back and have more, it was delicious. As you can see, this must be one of the better pics I ever took. I think it should be on the cover of a food magazine.
Tarty lemon and sweet meringue......what a great combo!

It's still Christmas in Vegas and I love that.....to me Christmas lasts until about mid January, I still want to hear Christmas music and see all the decorations and indulge in the spirit of the season.
Last night I was down on the Strip, just as busy and full of lights as ever, then I went for a a late night dinner at a Vietnamese place on Spring Mountain, Pho Kim Long II (a very busy and popular spot). I highly recommend that people check out the Asian area on Spring Mountain Road aka Chinatown. Lots of late night dining and shops. And very affordable "foot spa" massage places, that's where I get massages and it's the best massage ever! My Cathy that massages me is wonderful, I love her. It's the only woman that I fantasize about, I always dream about having Cathy rub me for a couple of hours.



During the day I went to Red Rock which is only a short drive from where I live, the winter months are the best for exploring the beautiful desert here. Many cool spots to see and nice hikes in Red Rock.....we are going back there soon.


Just follow the trail.....

Two days into 2015, how are those New Years resolutions going? I entertained the thought of getting into the best shape of my life but I'm not going to make any promises that I can't keep. Going on some diet or cutting out sugar is not going to happen, (I would die) but I might start going to the gym more frequently because I actually do enjoy that.....well most of the time. Or I might just be super lazy and become a dough ball, that too is an option.
What else.....oh I'm in Vegas. I thought that watching the fireworks over the Strip from Mountains Edge park would be a great idea but it turned out that the distance was too big and it was freezing out.....I did not stay out too late on New Years Eve, I was home by 2 30 am like a really boring fogbone. What is wrong with me? I remember when I would be one of the last persons to reluctantly leave the dance floor at the Sports Arena when there were raves there for New Years......
This is the view of the Strip from afar.....on top of a cold "mountain".



A very blurry pic of fireworks over the Strip.



I've made it to my fave place, Whole Foods already (of course) and Chhaya has been to Red Rock and the park by the house a few times. It's gorgeous out. It feels good to be back in Vegas.

There are only a few hours left of 2014 and then a new year will begin. I wish you all a very Happy New Year....I hope it will be a great one for you in all the ways you wish. I am planning on staying fabulous and amazing, business as usual.
I am leaving this message as the year ends, true words. Of course I am going to try to apply even more of that in my own life. As always, actions speak louder than words.....



It's getting to be time for me to get ready for the evening. I hope to see some nice fireworks tonight. Or maybe I should go and have myself a redneck New Years Eve? So many options......anyways Happy New Year! XOXO
