Today, the Cole Bros's Biggest Circus Under The Big Top came to my local town to perform!
 
I haven't been to a circus in over half a decade, so I wanted to remember what a circus was like.
 
First thing I noticed when I got to the parking lot, where Mexicans. Don't fret, I'm hispanic, so it's ok. When I got inside, all of the circus people were hispanic in some way, with the exception of the ringmaster and a lady with dogs. I went to one of the guys selling a small bag of popcorn, and asked how much it costs, and he said 5 dollars. For a bag of popcorn half the size of a $1 bag you get at a flea market.
 
I bought it.
 
As I left, the vendor started cussing out in Spanish: "[bleep] [bleep] asking how much a popcorn costs, it's [bleep} 5 dollars. {BLEEP}" I looked back at him with an angry face. I know Spanish, you know. 
 
I was not having fun in the circus. The pony rides where 15 bucks to ride the pony. I am not paying 15 bucks to ride that pony. 
 
But once the show started, all my angers faded away, as the rude circus people made an amazing show! 
 

 
 
 
 I was very satisfied, and had tons of fun! There was a great cast, funny (although sloppily timed) clowns, huge elephants, and a midget! And I forgive the rude Mexican.

I went to a circus over a decade ago with my father & a friend.  Wasn't anywhere near that big of a top as those videos.
 
Watching a gymnast fly around 30 feet directly above your head is a lot more scary than you might think.

Ah, the circus. 
How I miss the old days. 
Being a little kid, seeing that woman out there. 
Having her fun, her eyes are smiling she was happy, if only I could have manned up. 
But no, I was too afraid. I couldn't do it, she was the finest piece of ass you had ever seen and I wanted her. 
But I knew it couldn't happen yet I was still trapped by her eyes. Our eyes met and I was sold but I just couldn't.. 
Not after... 'flash back of silhouettes going crazy'... 
It was crazy I tell you, it was hell.. I knew it wouldn't work out with this woman, she was a clown. She was the enemy.... 
Now, whenever I think of that time.. seeing that one clown mess up my Balloon-Puppy and killing it.. 
I can't sleep.. clowns will eat me...  
 
 
(I'm sorry, I just.. I'm bored, I .. I'm going away now.. Sorry)

Went to the Fern Street Circus recently, it was worth it because they used the Cowboy Bebop theme as the background music for one of their acts.

Because if I told you everything about my life, you wouldn't believe me. So I picked out something you might like.

Your life seems equally dull. 
At least he got your attention and you decided to post.

Please, tell me something I won't believe, at least that would be interesting... "
I have to take care of my autistic brother who can't speak and will be like this for the rest of his life.
