the Biggest Scam Going... part 1

so im stuck in another stupid airport…

ive already been thru security 3x on sunday when i sat down to write this recap and running thoughts... i still have 5hrs till im supposed to board my flight. . . i have been told my seat on that flight is confirmed but ive also been told alot on this trip since it began on saturday... heres what i have going on so far...

phones got no network coverage…
cant get wifi without $10 fee…
10 dollar whiskeys…
5 dollar beers…
16 dollar cheeseburgers…
giant flat screen on wall has 2 black bars running through it, 1 in the middle of action, the other across the bottom line of football…

the airlines are the only industry where the service gets shittier and they charge you more each time you use it! i was on standby for an Oversold flight, 94 seats and the airline sold 112 seats for 1pm flight and then brought small plane in…

MECHANICAL ISSUES delayed me yesterday... missed the connection flight home by 20 minutes and was sent to 3 different gate agents to get rebooked...the 1st told us all to go to another gate to be rebooked, the 2nd agent went on break and left 15 people standing in line...the gate lady says the following “please make your excuses on me while you wait together" and walks away from us… shes a small dark-skinned peruvian lady but i still want to mess this lady up mma-style! thai clinch and drive knee through her jaw...
if that knee doesnt KO her first, i think i could probably knock her out with a flying-cow-kick...
and then i ambush the 3rd +4th to finally get some answers and vouchers… some lady behind me laughs with same frustration as I make my points to gate officials, so i state that i speak for the group…

obtained vouchers for hotelroom, dinner at hotel bar that night, breakfast and lunch in airport the following and then they rebooked me onto the 9:30 pm flight the following day, so sundaynights dinner is on me… stayed in hotel at airport last night thanks to some quick thinking by the wife, she reserved me a room while i was running in circles around that terminal... the hotel wouldn’t accept the voucher for my room so fullprice room, 4 whiskeys and a decent burger but definitely not worth fullprice...

pats won and need some help to go any further…
cowboys v jets is on now...

ive been contemplating trying to hop on the Amsterdam flight just because its leaving Detroit…

wilford brimley lookalike nearly collapses from exasperation over being canceled off of his flight because he missed his earlier connection or maybe its the Beetis...
i see both sides of the argument and that is 1 of the reasons why i have been to the counters 8 times to check in... the gateagents are all getting sick of me and that makes me happy because im sick of them too…

PHILLY JUST KICKED A FIELD GOAL TO MAKE IT 27-3 GOING INTO THE HALF…

lots of luggagetrucks going by and then it dawns on me: no idea where my checked bag with all the presents is... the assumption is it will end up at home before me and i will check the baggage claim counter when i get in. the flight i have a seat on is the last flight tonight so if its not at the counter, it will be on the flight with me… supposedly...

old mexican dude circles the phone banks after they are used and pockets what the Hasty leave behind. i think i might start doing this also… i made a collect call when my phone had no network coverage for the last 8hrs and that 1 call cost 10 dollars…

the sun is setting and subsequently, casts vivid red and purple hues over this lovely city...
execs in business suits trying to get where they are going for mondays appointments... i hope they all get stuck... im only serious...
i keep telling the counter reps that I was supposed to be in a wedding today and had to get back to give a toast... didnt matter what i told them... everyone else had some madeup story also...

then finally some contact with world and i have never been so glad to hear this messaging alert from my phone…

now half-making plans with a friend contemplating going to see live music and i tell him i will meet him there if i can get out of here…

its now 44-3, the 4th quarter is starting and im going to get something to eat… watch tropic thunder and perhaps a flight home, maybe… caught the end of dolphins v jets, favre must be getting paid well to throw such a perfect interception…

really glad i received tropic thunder for Christmas, it passed some time… mothernature just pissed her pantsuit… im a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude… g5, no more frequent-flyer-bitch miles...

great movie!

~life is short, make the best of it~

sidenotes: it looks like i have to eat some crow, sort of… i told a friend of mine that the pats would make the playoffs as a wildcard, with a record of 11-5. turns out i was wrong... see how easy it is to admit when you are wrong?

and yes, even though, there arent any direct flights to get where we need to go… Scratch Head can say he told me so about taking connecting flights...

more to come after some rest and some tech support on laptop and my phone...
