Jaime, my mom and I went to the Christmas Tree Lighting in Rockefeller Center and it was amazing. If you can get past all the people confined in a limited amount of space then you can really enjoy a lot of what New York has to offer. We have gotten a lot of favor when it comes to experiencing things in New York. We seem to always know someone who knows someone even though we don’t know that many people. Because Jaime’s friend’s mom works in Rockefeller Center, we got VIP passes. Did this mean our view was that great? Not really but that’s not the point.
I have to find a new word to use instead of bamboozled. I use it entirely too much and it’s getting on my nerves. The new word is…hoodwinked! That’s how I felt at the tree lighting. It was airing “live” on TV yet some of the artists weren’t even there. For instance Beyonce was supposedly there live but we were looking at her on a screen as well though we had a clear view of the stage. They taped it on the roof in a different location. So I didn’t get to see Beyonce but I got to see Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers to my hearts content. Do I look like a 13 year old? I don’t care about seeing them. Give me a break!
Something that I have discovered is that when you live somewhere you often overlook the culture and richness of that place. There were so many people who had traveled from other countries to see New York but I know natives who have never been to the Statue of Liberty or other historical landmarks. Crazy huh? Not really. I didn’t do stuff in California. I was too busy living life to pay attention to stuff like that.
One more thing. You know the movie A Christmas Story? I love that movie. It is a classic in my eyes. Remember when Ralphie’s mom put like 2,000 layers on his brother so he would stay warm? He had on so many layers he couldn’t put his arms down? That’s how Jaime looks in the winter. Like a big freakin 5 year old abominable snowman. Its classic!
