Go, Go, Go!
Heh heh...
Today I went to Keenland!!! I know, can you believe it?! They have horse-races in Kentucky?!! Shut up!
So anyway, firstly, we pull in to park and... oh holy crap, there are so many cars here! Ahhh!! It was like the Saskatoon Ex parking lots... Well, probably more... cars as far as the eye can see.
So as we're walking from our car to the entrance gates, a car of... well... beautiful specimen... drives past to go park.
ME: (to M.J.) Wow. Do we get to watch them race?
Shirtless?
Headed for a water-front?
I know, how very unlady-like of me. Like you wouldn't have said it.
Ok, part two: the race.
I bet $2.
I lost $2.
We stood behind the box-seats where all the ritzy people sit who inherited their ritzy box-seats from their ritzy dead relatives.
I felt like Eliza Doolittle, juxtaposed as I stood behind a group of 15-year-old boys in suits, smoking cigars and pipes.
"Moooove your blooooomin' arse!!!"
I hope you're familiar with My Fair Lady. If not, GET ACQUAINTED!! Audrey Hepburn is fabulous.
Anyway, the last race we stood right at the front, with the (surprisingly small) horses and (surprisingly small) jockeys only a few feet away.
Oh yeah, and I should mention that it was at least 22 above here today. Just to pour a little salt in your frosty Canadian wound.
The setting was reminiscent of the Spiritwood rodeo, complete with terribly unhealthy but none-the-less appealing food.
Yes, the Spiritwood rodeo, only much bigger, much classier, and much more of a big deal for many of the people.
But not me.
I think I'll be able to live with my $2 loss.
Well... actually, that's American, so it's more like $2.20... Ah!!!

i like having the lyrics to reread... i'm a big person for lyrics, although i love sound too, since i think the content of the songs is almost more justifying of the power of it than the sound, even though one without the other is usually not so hot.
...you should give me your e-mail so i can send you a backdoor to my site. it's protected access, but i built in a sort of guest account for people to use if they want to take peeks on the xanga blog. :)
