God Save The King of New Orleans......
Hello;
I'm exhausted, my feet smell and I've been working for 6 weeks in Las Vegas averaging 14 hour days and I'm in need of some serious vacation. What a coinsidence that this weekend me and some friends are going to New Orleans to attend the wedding of our friend Dave. His whole family will be there and I cannot be more excited. I have only had one other expereince in the Big Easy and it was another friends wedding about a full calendar year before Hurricane Katrina devistated the area.
The New Orleans I remember should be mostly rebuilt but there will certianly be signs of the Hurricane's damage. We are staying in the French Quarter at the St. Louis Hotel (www.stlouishotel.com)which is where the wedding/reception/debotchery will take place. I'm looking forward to getting a chocolate milk (because I'm childish and not grown up enough for coffee) and a "beignet," taking a stroll along the mighty Mississippi and then hit up Bourbon Street (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourbon_Street)for some well mannered frivolity.
I'm excited because I love the culture, music, food, architecture (graveyards), history and nightlife that Nawlins has to offer. These next 5 days should be amazing.
I have "borrowed" the pictures below from wikipedia but intend to take a bunch of my own. Those will be posted upon my return.

It's been a while....
It's been a while since I've posted anything, and basically I've been spending my weeks in Las Vegas recruiting my little heart out on a tough project which might be my last as a traveling recruiter. We've had some good times and some tough times recently and I'm always assessing if I could have done things different or been a "better friend." My soul searching has brought me to a conclusion. It's not complicated. Just honest. I'm human. I'm no different than anyone else. People react to situations in their own natural way. My intentions (I'd like to think) are always good and focused on the happiness of my family or friends. Sometimes I can be a d-bag and so as we all know TS isn't perfect but I will never stop trying to be there for people who I feel have deserved the effort.
That being said I've been feeling really nostalgic latley and found myself having lunch with my oldest friend Pat. I say he's my oldest friend because I don't have any memory of before I knew him. I think we meet when we were two years old and 27 years later we still find merit in keeping each other around. We have been through a lot, he was there for my when my dad passed away, I was there to meet his wife and new baby. A far cry from when we use to go creek-walking through Thunder Hill and built a treehouse in the woods behind my house. These kind of friendships are either hard and take work or effortless. Ours is the latter.
I'm going to a wedding for another friend who I grew up with and that should open up a pandora's box of memories which I am only too happy to revisit.
I'm not gonna call this posting "pointless" but it was really just a stream of thought and I decided to share.
