| - i've never stayed at this hotel, but my company held a party at the top of the stratosphere this week. the view was amazing. military helicopters were flying around at our same altitude. it was pretty surreal.
at night, i headed up to the observation deck. this is where the 5 star review comes in. for those of you who have been following grey's anatomy this season (with dr. hunt), you know there's a small room in the hospital where air shoots out of vents. this is what standing on the observation deck was like. i was alone, staring out over sin city, and the wind was beyond the most therapeutic thing i've felt in a long time. i think my grandma's been watching over me or something, because every time i even remotely start feeling shitty over my recent breakup, i end up somewhere where i'm totally blown away by my environment. it's so humbling. like, the world is THIS BIG and i can't get over something as small and simple as a heartbreak? stop being lame!! it was so invigorating. the wind just blew all my negative thoughts out of my body.
after i was done with my wind therapy, i walked around and ran into a couple of the sales guys i work with. i was like, "oh my god! this is amazing! the view is incredible! how are you guys doing? having fun? it's so windy up here! i'm sorry about my windblown hair!" (you know, the kind of hair you get after you take a ride in a convertible). one of the guys told me he was just admiring how i looked standing in the wind looking over the city. nothing helps me feel better like a good ol' fashioned compliment from a dude! thanks, grandma!
