My Nightmare Mardi Gras (A Long Rant)

Mardi Gras, for me personally, isn't very fun anymore. People use it as an excuse to get drunk and act stupid. There's a difference between drinking a few and enjoying yourself and getting drunk and acting stupid. Mardi Gras brings out the latter.

I've only been to 2 New Orleans parades and they were OK. We had the same issues where people would force their way in front of you. We eventually got out the crowd and watched from the back.

We went to one parade this year in Thibodaux with my Godchild and those people just want to hurt you with beads. I really don't get it.

I'm a Mardi Gras scrooge. I do enjoy the king cakes though.
