Hey yall..

(I'm gonna discuss this in further length on my podcast but while it's fresh in my mind...)

Just yesterday I spent about all day in the Houston airport... I went from flying out @ 9 in am to flying out @ 715 in the evening (long story) after a long and exhaustive day waiting around in the airport (thank God for Continental's crown room to pass the time) I was finally going to be heading out that evening @ 715.  Because I fly so often on certain airlines I occasionally get the first class upgrade due to my flying status w/ that particular airline.... yesterday i was able to get upgraded (which made the long day a lil more bearable).  As I was heading to my gate there was a huge crowd of people around the gate which I had to manuever through to board (when your first class they let you go first to board) as I was standing there waiting for them to board the lady next to me out of nowhere looks at me and says "they are boarding first class".   

It was almost like.. (by the tone of her voice and they way she looked me over ) it was like she was telling me that I  shouldn't be in the line becuase there was NO WAY I COULD BE IN FIRST CLASS.  Now keep in mind that 99 times out of 100 first class usually consists of (especially when I'm flying home to Ft Myers) older gray haired retirees and/or older business types... I can literally say I've never sat next to ANYONE who looks like me.

So here I'm standing next to her in my baggy jeans, long LRG t-shirt and fitted NY yankees hat cocked to the side w/ my headphones around my neck and backpack on my back...  It dawned on me in that moment that she conisdered me not worthy to fly in first?  Hmmmmmm... maybe I'm just reading to much into it.... was I a victim of hip hop discrimination? LOL.

The funny thing was that she wasnt even flying first ...  I just responded to her like ... "oh really... thanks..." and then stepped up and took my first class boarding assignment   :)

here's my observizzles this week:  

Whats up yall...

Im sitting here @ my kitchen table and my fingers hurt.. (yes the laptop is back in full effect.. no thanks to Delta) I've been working all day long on some mashups for some live stuff etc...  (long story.. I'll explain later) I came back from the last revolve tour date this weekend...  it's kind of sad that that part of my life is over for now (it felt like the end of camp... lol). 

It was a great weekend filled w/ driving, flying, etc. followed by more driving and then flying..  I had the most incredible cup of coffee on Thursday night @ a place called the Flying Gato in Athens TX. they had a cup called "the Keith Richards" it was 16 shots of espresso..  NO I DIDNT GET IT ... EVEN I KNOW MY LIMITS.  But it's amazing that some spot i would never think would be so good.... was sooooo gooood.  Thats not really the point it's just that NEVER COUNT ANYTHING OUT.. you never know whats gonna be good etc.. 

Anyways I had the distinct pleasure of watching an action/adventure movie on the flight home and it dawned on me  the following rules are always in effect:

 YO YO YO.

I'm sad right now.. I feel like my best friend is in the hospital... and truly my best friend (sort of)is out of commission... NO I"M NOT TALKING ABOUT MY DOG.. it's my laptop.

 I took a redeye flight home on sat night/sun am and after getting a whopping 3 hrs of sleep from Denver to Atlanta I was so out of it I left my charger to my laptop in the Delta Crown Room in Atlanta.  No charger means no charge to my laptop and no laptop means my best friend is out of commission.... Sad face... 

I do the majority of my work on my laptop due to me traveling so much and even though I've got a desktop computer at home (obviousy since I'm doing my blog here) everything syncs from my laptop basically.  So here I sit unable to update my ipod.. .access the stuff on my desktop from laptop and certainly can't sit out on my porch and surf youtube for videos of people dressing there cats up (j/k I would never do that... ferrets maybe..).  The thing that is jacked about it is that Delta has my charger ... they actually found it and I can't get anyone to call me back to send it back to me... I WISH I WASNT SO FORGETFULL SOMETIMES.  It's such a character flaw that I have... ah well.. what you gone do?

Today is president's day... so go out there and dress up as your favorite president.  Me?  I sitting here right now typing this w/ an abe lincoln beard on...

So w/ that visual in your mind... here is my weekly observations.... 

Wow it's great to be over the junk from last week... I think I sleptwalked through the whole entire week.. I think I had a slight sinus infection so i took some zyrtec and the side effects of the stuff make you so DROWSY..  All I can look back on from last week is me lethargically passed out on the couch in the den while my son keeps biting my feet.... (dont ask.. he 's in a vampire stage I think).  WOW it was torture and on top of that it completely throws off my productivity in a lot of ways (which i think for me is worse than being sick).

I'm just feeling so much better now and I have so much more energy in order to tackle this week's tasks, today I woke up and the weather is a crisp 70ish feeling w/ a light breeze ( I sound like a weatherman) but overall IT'S JUST NICE!  Even though I'm feeling a lil stuffed up right now.. I'm not going back to that zyrtec stuff, zombies are cool for movies not for feeling like you are one.. 

Want to also say a happy valentines day out there for all those that have a special someone and for those that don't... don't sweat it.  Valentines is mostly just for flower industry to stay afloat (trust me .. I used to deliver them around that time... not a fun job).  

Anyway w/ that in mind.. here is my weekly observations...
