Bed of Roses

I always attempted to get out and see the world. As much as I could at least. When traveling, I think sometimes you are lucky enough to get into the heart of a culture and see beyond the big sights. Like while in Ireland, I was able to be there long enough that I feel like I got beyond the blarney stone (which I proudly never visited) and got a pretty good understanding of the Irish mentality and way of life.

Other times, you basically check off you've been there. Just so you can say you've done it. "Niagra Falls...yep, that's a lot of water. What's for lunch?" There are alot of sights that you really should see, and when you do them, you just need to get it over with and move on. Times Square in NYC, Notre Dame and the Mona Lisa in Paris, Liberty Bell in Philly, White House in DC, etc.

This weekend, I had a "check off" experience. I think while in Jersey, its important to get drunk and shout along with a Bon Jovi song in a crowded bar at least once in your life. Just to say you've done it.

While camping in redrocks last weekend.. We were sitting around the campfire, and one of the guys from missoula was playing GnR
"Every rose has it's thorns..."
Everyone was belting that one out...
Still.. not as cool as BonJovi in Jersey.
