Local Sights: Cherry Blossom Parade & Festival
Hello one & all it's DJ Dizzy here & once again it's time to Dizzy things up. A while back in the month of March in Macon GA I had the pleasure of scoping out this year's Cherry Blossom Parade & Festival. Though it wasn't the best parade by far the costumes & decorations were very good. They also have the crowning of the years Cherry Blossom Royalty as well as other events such as the fire fighters competition. Not to mention many other events such as the music festival.
Here's a video of one of the events as an example:

As for the parade itself there were a few local participants involved such as volunteers from TV & radio stations & multiple companies. The theme of course was pink since it's all about the cherry blossoms. They even got their mascot in on it. Who's name is Pinky the Poodle. Who looks something like this:
(Try shaking that off)
But anyway although it wasn't the best parade the events were pretty good but if you're looking to see something like this yourself well unfortunately this is the last one they did for this year mainly do to lack of funding but there's a chance it'll come back in the future depending on the situation. But anyway that's one of the events that I had the pleasure of seeing a while back.
Also as a bonus I wanted to show some pictures of a trip that I took over to the airport in Atlanta:
World of Pain
This song is about anyone who feels betrayed in some ways
World of pain- lyrics
Hard rock instrumental
(Verse 1)
I find myself going
out of my mind.
I'm always the girl that's
left behind.
You always get bathed in your fame.
I sometimes feel that you have
no shame.
I can't take anymore.
we're at an end & I'm out
the door.
(Chorus)
World of pain. it's too much to bear.
I'm always stuck in such despair
World of pain. Scorned by your fame.
I find myself. Stuck in a world of pain.
(verse 2)
Hear these words. I'm making a fresh start.
I'm sick of wearing these scars on my heart.
I can't take anymore
this is it I'm out the door.
(Repeat chorus)
(Instrumental, Guitar solo.)
(Repeat chorus twice.)
I find myself trapped in a world of pain.

Going Trpping: Henry Doorly Zoo Review
Hey there guys it's your good friend DJ Dizzy here & in addition to writing & learning new things I've been doing a whole mess of traveling & exploring new places along the way. One place I've been to that I've had the pleasure of visiting would be the famous Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha Nebraska.
This zoo isn't like anyone I've been too it's got a lot more attractions. One of which that I'm sure you'll enjoy is the huge aquarium which is home to many sea creatures such as penguins.
(I recommend not shooting any photos of them chances are you'll get mooned by them.) But anyway in addition to them you'll see huge catfish & stingrays, sharks, & transparent jellyfish. & shape shifting octopi. There's even a holographic puddle that you can play in which I had the pleasure of trying out.
Also there's a habitat for the butterflies which is out in nature with a path of course.in the start of the trip there will be a guide that'll specify not to touch ANYTHING while in there.
So you really have to be careful & on your best behavior while in there. But also know this: When you come out there are mirrors that'll be sure to see if you have anything leftover because the butterflies have been known to escape.
Another thing I highly recommend while there is the chairlift when I went on for the first time I'll admit I was scared since I was in midair but overall it was fun. There was all kinds of rhinos & giraffes & roaming around at the time & it offers a great view of their habitat among everything else.
which was something radical.
I also had the pleasure of checking out some of the other habitats such as the tiger & lions. The lions weren't too lively but the tigers are another story, I really lucked out after seeing a white tiger for the first time. ( I tried to get a picture of it but sadly it wouldn't stay still.) But overall it was a lot of fun.
So that's my adventure over at the Henry Doorly Zoo. It was very well kept & the staff was pretty friendly, If you're ever in Nebraska on a visit then I highly recommend this place for a great family vacation or some good old fashion fun. So it gets a perfect 10 from me.
Well that's it I just thought I'd try something different such as talking about some recent travels that I've done though I might go back there once again. But if you happen to be in Nebraska I suggest you check this place out.
Well that'll do it for me so here's a little something for you
