Mardi Gras in New Orleans

DREAM ADVENTURE 44: Party in New Orleans for Mardi Gras!!



It was really hard to choose just one picture for this; Mardi Gras down there is so flamboyant and festive!
I'm sure I'd want to stay for a few days to see everything there is to see and try their amazing restaurants down there. Link of interest: 10 Things to Taste in New Orleans

22 Things I've Learned in 22 Years

• be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
• dreams are the touchstones of our character.
• empathy is the greatest virtue.
• everything is a matter of perspective.
• experiences always trump possessions.
• having a thousand credentials on the wall will not make you a decent human being. But genuinely helping one person everyday will.
• in order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.
• judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
• just because you're an adult doesn't mean you can't act like a kid.
• love, not time, heals all wounds.
• never stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
• nine out of ten things you worry about never happen.
• respect is earned.
• sometimes you put up walls not to keep people out but to see who cares enough to break them down.
• the essential things in life are seen not with the eyes, but with the heart.
• there's no such thing as a bad mistake unless you don't learn from it.
• those who aren't the easiest to love are the ones who need it the most.
• time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
• you can be a somebody and it won't make any difference. You don't have to be a somebody to make a difference.
• you can fully bathe with less than a bucket of water.
• you will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.
• your conscience won't keep you from doing wrong, but it sure keeps you from enjoying it.

Coachella

DREAM ADVENTURE #42: Coachella



The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (commonly known as Coachella or Coachella Festival) is a three-day (formerly a one or two-day) annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Fields in Indio, California, in the Inland Empire's Coachella Valley. The event features many genres of music including alternative rock, hip hop, and electronic music as well as large sculptural art. The event has several stages/tents set-up throughout the grounds, each playing live music continuously.


My friend went last year and is planning on going again this year and I'm really tempted if I can muster up the money to drive down there, for a ticket, camping and everything else.

UPDATE: my friend and i were plannin on going and were waiting for our tax returns but Coachella sold out in record time of 5 days. :( The lineup I wasn't too impressed with but there were a handful of people I would have LOVED to see. Maybe next year :)
