Mardi Gras is a time for gluttony. It is an excuse to overindulge and to say, "I was wasted, so it's okay." Being raised in New Orleans all my life established a belief that Party Gras is an excuse to let an alter ego become released and that anything goes. This is a Puritan's alter ego. All year people go to church and try to better themselves, then carnival comes and it is thrown out the window. It seems like it is a few days to ignore the battle to become a better person and act like a complete bad ass. This year will be even more insane because the Saints won the Superbowl. Every year, including my family, Saints fans head the the dome and tailgate expecting them not to lose too bad that game. Then they pull off the unexpectable, winning the Superbowl. This adds to the party. Something out of the ordinary happens, so it is time to get naked and drink up. Times have evolved. Puritans would have been scared that God would strike them down in the middle of the parade or that they would get run over by a float due to the amount of sinning taking place. Everyone in Lousisiana has the week off, people come in from out of state, because Mardi Gras is a justification for sinning and to unleash and naughty personas and become your alter ego. Times have changed and Puritan beliefs have evolved and God fearing times are over, so how hard with you party and what will your alter ego be?
