Art Show: The Bellagio Gallery Room, Las Vegas


 At the Bellagio Las Vegas there was a very awesome over the top art gallery complete with parrots in a glass aviary, I never would have guessed that there was art in a place like Las Vegas but there was. Even though the vast majority of people who see it will never appreciate it like they appreciate their pseudo tribal lower back stamp or bicep tattoo stating their biker gang status.
 They had umbrellas hung from the ceiling making beautiful 3d patterns. They had a ferris wheel that lit up, they had a handmade tree and fake hot air balloons hanging everywhere. it looked like a little wonderland. It was really magical and interesting. No artists were cited here. There were also rose parade style larger than life birds made out of some seeds or some organic looking material.






I liked the Chihuly ceiling a lot. It was huge! it covered the length of the lobby much larger than I had seen in pictures. Finally my own picture of it is to the right. I loved the organic shapes and structures that I saw in the Bellagio. I was greatly impressed by its gallery, if only there were more places in Las Vegas like this, if only hotels they used their money for art also, because they can afford such extravagant things, they might attract a classier crowd.
ADIOS LAS VEGAS!

My Least Favorite Place



My least favorite place...
The doctor's office.
In addition to being a slow and inefficient trip with a lot of waiting, going to the doctor's office usually means that I'm hurt or I will be hurt by needles, or some other piece of doctors office equipment. It all looks like torture devices. None of that shit is natural. Then someone invades your personal space completely, and you're supposed to be okay with it because society tells us we need to do this yearly to make sure we are healthy. What's really sad is that it's come to the point in society where we are all feeding ourselves such bad food and not exercising or anything to keep ourselves healthy that we probably do need someone to assess us each year to help us with medicine which allows us to keep treating ourselves badly but get away with the consequences and still live a little longer.  Nexium for a clogged arteries and acid reflux, prozac for people who can't deal with their lives, and face their problems to be happy by themselves, you can get lipo if you just can't bear to work out or eat healthy, theres a fix for literally everything without actually having to put energy or consciousness for your own health. I am not saying that hospitals or doctors offices are all bad, some are really miracle workers for people and fix things that people didn't do to themselves, like leukemia and cancer in children, congenital diseases and deformities. An overarching theme for the doctors offices that I have been in though is a fast cure for people who won't take care of themselves. Upper middle class. Standard. I hate being around it and I hate people telling me I need a shot to ward off disease because we live in a place so infested with crap that my body will probably be too weak to ward off the crazy evolved viruses that people in essence have helped evolve through things like antibiotics and vaccines. Vicious Circle. 
Fuck Doctor's Offices.
