…But today it’s New Orleans. It’s been awhile since I’ve been on a plane, probably since I went home to Tahoe for Christmas. I need to travel more. Tu-tone and I are going to New Orleans today to watch the sunrise, I hear its different there. Hah, no not really. We are going to do work, but that doesn’t mean we won’t get a good taste of downtown on Saturday night. Oh, and he let me borrow his little digi cam, a gift to Jnonymous. Photo’s soon! Today’s airport adventure reminded me of this, so I thought I would share…

Metal sheets, three feet wide. Frosted windows with random circular cut-outs. Its called modern art. Every gate looks the same, backed up rows of connected chairs. You share your arm rest with your neighbor unless your the lucky one on the end or you have an empty seat next to you. And is that really a good thing? Being unapproachable? A room full of strangers with one simple item in common, a destination. Don’t loose sight of real life here. It’s hard not to get sucked into the corporate conglamatory, supporting something you don’t believe in just because the Starbucks line, although is the longest, moves the fastest and everyone is in it. Screw Starbucks at every corner. Every menu is the same, support your local, original coffee shop. Oh wait, there isn’t one here. Your just a few more hours away and into freedom. Enjoy the irony, the modern science of flying and airport design. Instead of hating on the identical rows of chair from gate to gate observe the variety of people that surround you…

What inspires you? What keeps your engine running? What pulls you out of bed every morning? It’s not work, or school, or the dreaded long day ahead. What are you waiting for….?

(I was reading ‘Fight Club’ at the time, huge Chuck Palahniuk influence there. Obvious? Haha. It’s 3:34am…I have to be up in 4 hours. Yikes.)
