The Mint Las Vegas

sheets from over my head so I crawl out from under them. I turn to see if the ants gone and instead, I find that I can see my body, or should I say my exoskeleton. I again laugh at my stupidity. How could I not have noticed this before? I try not to panic because my doctor told me not to stress, it was causing my acne. The most odd feeling of happiness then came over me and I thought, wow, I do not have acne anymore. I miraculously come to accept my new state of being within minutes. I now am faced with my next challenge, remembering 4th grade science. I wonder, what do insects eat again? Oh yeah, plants! I mentally send a quick thanks to Ms. Strickland. I can see now that I am out from under my sheets. Thank goodness, I think, I have a mint plant by my bed. I crawl onto my bedside table which is much easier than getting out of bed in the morning. This is easy living. Or should I say, this was easy living until I reached the base of the plant. Now, I have to crawl up it. Crawling up proves to be much more of a challenge then crawling horizontally. I notice though that I can stick to the plant vase material if I press down hard enough. This is how I count my legs, by pressing each one down and mentally keeping track until the last one sticks. I go to recount, just to make sure my total was right. This, I find, was a big mistake because I now lose focus and fall down the pot. I stick with my first number, sixteen legs it is! I remember that sixteen was my basketball number.…

Las Vegas never fits within a definite definition. Because of its billion lights, it is often referred to as the brightest spot on earth. Few call it the city of sin. Others hear music all around.

There’s art on the walls and expensive brands are around every bend. Most know about its busy casinos and enthralling shows. All this within the 3.5-mile strip…

Contextual Architecture In 2003 my family moved to a house in a newly built part of town in the neighborhood of Lamplight Village. Based on the Lamplight Village painting by Thomas Kinkade, it was beautiful. Not what you would expect from a Las Vegas home, but beautiful nonetheless. The facade of the two story home was light brown horizontal wood siding with big chocolate colored shutters, only for show of course. It had a spacious covered porch, a picturesque window seat and large leafy trees…
