  • Decadeloution

    Everybody makes new year's resolutions that they never keep, but does anybody ever make a new decade's resolution that they never keep? I've come up with three resolutions that I vowed to do within the next decade. Wait, maybe vow is too strong of a word, after all I did write my resolutions with spray cheese and how could something written in spray cheese be considered a vow. But nevertheless, the three things I promised myself I would do are.............wait a minute, maybe promise is too strong a word. After all, who will be hurt by me breaking my promise other than me? And maybe the hookers and bookies that stand to lose out on my business. Ok, so let's just say there are three things that I would love to do in the next decade:

    Actually, maybe not love. That might too strong a word. Maybe just really like. Yes. These are three things I would really like to do. No, I would love to do. Yes, love is the right word

    • Go to the Kentucky Derby. I'm a gambler. And I love sports. And horse racing brilliantly combines both, even if they do whip the shit out of the horses. I've always wanted to go to the Derby. And it's only 5 hours away, I have to wonder to myself why the hell I haven't gone yet, after all I have a couple of friends who have always wanted to go as well. Don't let anybody fool you, the Kentucky Derby is the biggest sporting event in the world. Its not just all the celebs that go, usually around 150,000 people go. You buy a $40 ticket in the infield and its a wild party. I like to say that the Derby is kinda like the Super Bowl meets Mardi Gras, which brings me to my next resolution.
    • Go to Mardi Gras. A lady I work with told me she has been to Mardi Gras and that everybody should go at least once in their life. I've never been, but that's a good enough reason for me, after all I have always kinda wanted to go and I've never needed an excuse to party.
    • Ring in the new year in Time Square. This is one of those "do it just to do it" things. A friend of a friend did this one year and all it is is a ton of people pretty much just standing around all day just to watch a damn ball drop. I hear that alcohol is not even permitted in Time's Square on New Year's Eve. But again, its something to do.

    I have to say, I really missed the boat on this idea when the new century rolled around, I could have made all sorts of resolutions and never would have made it or failed it because I would be dead before the next century ended.

  • haha everyone should go at least once in HER life? hehe. And yes, you ARE A gambler!! Crazy sports guy gambler.

  • Poor horsies.

  • Damnit, I proof read that damn thing and I still missed that!

  • I'm over exaggerating a little on that, although they do use a whip (to which I'm not thrilled) my theory has always been that if the horse did not want the jockey on him/her, they would throw the jockey off. At least that's what allows me to still sleep at night knowing they do use a whip.

  • Times Square = no alcohol on NYE = Jeremy will probably never go. Ever.
    Oh, and I went to New Orleans once, down to Bourbon Street. It was August, so not Mardi Gras, but I still got super-wasted and had tons of fun anyway oh, and I was only 20. Imagine the damage I could inflict now!
