But thank the fuck god for this rain delay. Without it, I might not have made it home tonight.

I’m so sick of flying
After I somehow eventually manage to get back to Atlanta, I don’t want to set foot on an airplane for the rest of the summer. This means I will miss out on my dad’s birthday, and a family beach trip, but at this point, I really don’t give a shit. Flying hasn’t just lost its luster, it’s become the mother of all inconvenient chores that does nothing but infuriate me now.
Now if you’ll excuse me, if I’m a betting man, I think I should start looking for cheap lodging for tonight, in Fort Fucking Lauderdale, and prepare to go to bed early as fuck so I can be up at early as fuck, and get back to this fucking airport that I’ll probably get bumped twice before managing to make it back to fucking Atlanta on a fucking Tuesday afternoon, taking more fucking money out of my fucking wallet.
P.S. Miami fucking sucks, but I’ll get much more into that when I’m not fucking mad as hell.
I had a disturbing dream the other night
Nobody was sure how it was revealed, but outside of the building we were all residing in, the rest of the world had more or less fell into anarchy. Our building had limited resources, but there were a lot of people so certainly, there was the manpower to make things work as long as everyone did their part. Communication with the rest of the world no longer seemed possible, so we were all sort of off the grid.
There was another building not far from where the building this dream was taking place in, and I suggested with the people I was with, that perhaps we should send some people over there, and forage for supplies and gather anything that we could use in our new residence for an indeterminate amount of time. Many agreed with me, and we made tentative plans to make the trek over to the other building.
Before executing the plan to travel, someone brought to my attention that what if the other building were not completely empty as I had initially hypothesized it was? What if there were other people in that building, in the exact same predicament as we were in? I hadn’t considered such possibilities. The trip to the other building never happened.
Pussificiation of America: Rolling Bags
I remember when I was in the eighth grade; I had one of those de facto worst days of my life. I had homework in just about every single class that day, it was rainy and I forgot an umbrella, and at the time, I was a walker to and from school. My backpack couldn’t contain anymore text books and weighed a million pounds, and I had to relegate to stuffing things into my trumpet case by the way I was in the band back then and had a huge cumbersome trumpet case to lug around too. I walked home in the rain, furiously upset and discouraged, lugging about 20 lbs. of extra weight, and when I got home, I changed into dry clothing, and sprawled out on my back on the carpet and closed my eyes.
Nowadays, if an eighth grader were in a similar predicament, a parent would complain to the school board to reduce homework, or the necessity of textbooks outright, and in today’s economy, would ultimately go through. If the parents didn’t pick up the child in their Toyota Sienna with the button-touch automatic opening and closing doors, the child would still be forced to walk home, but instead of carrying a backpack, they would undoubtedly be dragging a rolling bag on wheels.
Photos: Cosplay For A Cause Calendar release party
Cosplay For A Cause is a 2012 calendar created by costumers, featuring costumers, from around the globe, with all proceeds going towards Japan Red Cross relief. Thirteen months of unique, never-been-seen photography to commemorate every month (plus a courtesy January) of womens in costumes from popular anime and video games.
I may not have the best of things to say in regards to the concept of Japan relief and awareness to some degree, but I am a staunch supporter of my friends. I know this endeavor is done with good intentions and no bullshit, so I have no qualms with supporting friends. The calendar release party was a jovial occasion with many attractive gals aplenty, drinking, and geeky conversations, and as far as I could tell, moderately successful. Keep it rolling by purchasing your own calendars at the aforementioned link.

I hate for a venting post be my silence breaker
But fuck traffic, fuck Georgia Tech, fuck midtown, fuck Atlanta. Fuck PowerPoint. Fuck speed bumps. Today has been fucking infuriating. Fuck.

Admittedly, I haven’t been writing as much lately these days, and to be honest it’s not that I don’t have anything to write about, or that any particular things suck or anything right now, I guess it’s just that I simply haven’t felt like writing much these days. It’s been a funny summer that way, since I haven’t been going to many baseball games, save for special occasions and designated baseball trips, and I haven’t really been doing much writing or playing video games either. It’s like time just flies, without much substance behind any of it.
Anyway, I went up to the sticks of Rome, Georgia, 55 miles north of Atlanta to catch the minor league Rome Braves. It was a hot, miserable, no-breeze evening, with like 800% humidity, but there was a free bobblehead involved, so I still went, because I’m a sucker for free chintzy shit like that.
