My mom, sister and I just returned from a little Thanksgiving weekend trip to Las Vegas. They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but I found that, for me, it was more like, "The money you bring to Vegas to gamble with stays in Vegas." Obviously I didn't win any money and no, I don't have any stories that should have "stayed in Vegas." (I mean, even if I did I couldn't tell you.) Probably the best thing we saw there was Mystere, a crazy acrobatic show performed by Cirque du Soleil. I was sitting there in the theater watching these people do these crazy stunts and I realized...these are things that I know for a fact I will never ever ever be able to do in my life. It was ridiculous. So, I have put together this Top Ten list to both share my experience with you and to highlight how much cooler these people are than me.
And now...
#10- Wear this outfit to work.
#9- Ride on the back of this snail.
#8- Stand on a large ball for more than 2 seconds without even moving.
#7- Hold onto someone while swinging upside down a million feet in the air. (Ok, not a million, but it was freakin' high!)
#6- Swing and flip from bar to bar with multiple other people trying to complete the same task...a million feet in the air.
#5- Balance myself on one hand on a small platform...a million feet in the air.
#4- Balance a very strong man upside down on my shoulder. (And let's face it, I couldn't be the other guy either.)
#3- Hang very high in the air by one hand while using my feet to flip a large metal cube around.
#2- That.
And, the number one thing that I will never be able to do even if I wanted to is....
I can't even explain what is happening here. It is real though...I saw it.
There you have it folks. I know you thought I was talented, but I have finally found some people who can out do me. The pictures don't really even do these people justice. The things they could do were crazy!!!!!!!!
I suppose I shouldn't be so negative, though. Maybe if I start now I could do one of those things. At least get that outfit and wear it to work.
