vegas

so ive found myself in a casino again. even though i knew the race ended in vegas it didn't hit me that i was actually going to be here until we were sitting in the traffic on the strip. and now i'm inside this smoke filled room with tinkling electronic noises and flashing and spinning lights. i have a headache. i dont want to breath because of the smoke and i dream of the open space of the desert. but i am here - watching history in the making. and i can't but help learn more about myself in the process of introspection. or is that because that's what always happens in the desert. those illuminations will have to wait to another post though. for now i want to help celebrate.
