Tangier Shrine Circus

Alien Philosopher...Hmmm "Why?..."

Me and Heather decided to go to the Circus today! I usually go every year with Zach but he was unable :( Every time I have been before I was always blown away. So much fun, riding camels, elephants, and petting the miniature horses that all performed in the show. This year however they changed EVERYTHING. First we had horrible seats, crowded arm to arm with screaming and kicking children. So I thought I would pull a fast one and tell the Shriner's that I was recently discharged from a hospital and am having a severe anxiety attack from all the people, we needed to change seats immediately before I had an Episode LOL. After the jaw dropping reaction we were nicely placed in a better section haha. Not one act went right though, except the clowns stand up which was not funny in the least bit. A tiger attempted to seriously attack the trainer in the cage with him, alligators were brought out that I swear were severely sedated except one that went after the audience! The man controlling the situation looked and acted just like the praying mantis from A Bugs Life. For some reason the circus tried to make it look like the MIA alligator was suppose to be doing this by placing the spot light on him?? The jugglers continuously dropped one or two hoops. They played the Mumushka song from The Adams Family while juggling fire! Dropped them! I swear I sat there awkwardly clapping with everyone as we all knew this man most likely was on fire... A group of men ran in with extinguishers. Two men attempted to balance on an open Ferris wheel but kept falling off scaring Heather to bits as I laughed in embarrassment for them. Finally the girls that do tricks on the colored ropes all were doing well until one got stuck wrapped up in it while everyone else slid down. They had to wait posing for a whole minute before she untangled herself. We left at intermission...The best part besides just being with my best friend... cotton candy, this man's jeans in my soda and Heather rescuing it, and the numerous fun pictures we took
