I went to a Cinco de Mayo celebration at a Chevy's on Staten Island last night. I was doing my good deed for the day. It was way too crowded, too much money, and the people - oh the people. If you aren't from the New Jersey/New York Tri-State area you really can't understand what people are like from here. They are their own breed. And yes, I did grow up here, but no I am not like them. The big hair, the fashion nightmares (clothes that are 10 sizes too small), the gold chains, the nails and makeup, and the list goes on. You can get an idea at www.njguido.com but really you have to see it with your own eyes. And my own eyes were hurtin' last night. I'm still amazed sometimes even though I've grown up with it. Anyway, we met one of Sarah's friends in the restaurant and hung out for a bit and then left early. We didn't want to pay $20 just to stand outside and drink. Not kidding.
So, we were back in Jersey by 10:15pm and went to a local dive bar to hang out and talk. For those of you who are wondering - I didn't drink. I'm noticing on my blogs that I talk a lot about bars and drinking but honestly it's not as much as it sounds. But, being that it was Cinco de Mayo I am now the proud owner of a Corona Visor which will come in handy during softball season.
I'm wondering if I still have any readers out there. If you are there and read my blog leave me some love. Enjoy the gorgeous day!
