Don't believe everything you see, or hear, or touch, maybe even taste, but not smell, except for onions.

 It's crazy on how many times bad situations happen from not taking that double take or just not realizing what you're doing until something bad happens.

There's also good things that could happen. This year at SXSW I was mistaken for the almost famous rapper or pretty much mainstream rapper, "Watsky".
It's also bad when you buy things off of the T.V. from the shamwow guy really sucks, and you paid 30 bucks for a yellow rag.
It's cool though when people don't realize that you're not who they think you are and you end up on everyone's instagram.

Most of the time when these things happen, you feel better about yourself, but then it comes right back at you in the, face that the picture you just took would be the most embarrassing picture for the girls you just took it with and you're right in the middle of it.
Illusions are different when it comes to the topic, those are supposed to trick you so they have no place in this blog.
Sometimes we get lucky, (going back to buying stuff and stuff like that) for example, when you text in to win those ACL passes that haven't even come out yet.
And then there's those unlucky times, (still talking about the above) when you find out you have to be at least 18 to win. It happens. But they usually give you tickets to another concert at Stubb's that no one's going to tonight, just because they feel sorta bad for you, but not really.

One of my worst experiences was with my parents when we all went to Vegas over the summer. I had warned them so many times about the timeshare thing and how to just stay away from it (from my expert TripAdvisor skills). They eventually went for it and we spent half the day at this hotel not far from the strip with about 50 other victims along with us. We ended up getting free tickets to a dinner and show at the Luxor but the rest was just a huge waste of time.

Don't believe everything you see, or hear, can't remember which is the popular saying. Both works too.

In reality... (Vegas Edition) Part 2

The chips aren’t tortilla chips, they’re Ruffles. We finally made it into Las Vegas, but not before passing through Hoover Dam. It was extremely dusty, hot and windy that day. But it was worth it. We stayed in the Bellagio. The room was really, really, really cool. We had a view of the fountains and the strip. Oh, and sirens coming from ambulances were non-stop all night. Have you ever heard someone say you can go into the casino, you just can’t step on the carpet? (For people underage) Myth busted. Our whole family was walking around the machines, taking pictures (with no flash), talking to the floor guys, the only thing is, you can’t play the machines. I walked in every building on the strip, I just couldn’t go into the “private rooms”. One thing to watch out for are the people handing out flyers and advertisements. Just avoid those people. Another tip is if you’re going to take a picture of someone dressed up like a celebrity or superhero, have a few dollars on hand and don’t take a picture of just them, they don’t like that. If you’re at a gift shop and you see something you just have to have, but it’s just a little bit more than what you want to pay, just buy it because you won’t ever see it again. Those are one of my regrets of walking into a gift shop.

There were so many shows that I had seen in that one week. There’s also that part of Las Vegas that no one goes to, The Old Las Vegas. There are a lot of cool things there, like the first casinos, a broken down casino and a gas station. It was actually terrible and a waste of  time. That’s the reason why no one goes there.

The way back was really nice. We passed by a truck that’s engine had caught fire and exploded. We were stopped in the middle of nowhere for about an hour. I had never walked on a highway in between 18-wheelers and tons of cars. This happened twice. The second time the truck had already been burnt up and was just sitting on the side of the road. There were so many things back in Las Vegas that I never understood. Like in movies, there are those men in suits and glasses talking into the earpiece that goes down their shirt. Those guys actually exist! There are a lot of things that I questioned, but Las Vegas is just weird. Nothing bad happened on the trip, thankfully. We stopped by a lot of famous landmarks and also a lot of boring places that no one cared about. The worst part about the whole trip was unpacking, but that’s a whole different story.
