plane hopefully I won't be bored on the
0:14
plane as I'm boarding but I'll have my
0:16
smartphone at least until I have to
0:17
throw it on airplane though but I
0:18
digress I am on my way today the entire
0:23
trek entire vlog as uneventful as it may
0:27
sound will consist of me sitting in a
0:30
seat staring out the window looking at
0:33
the terrain the beauty of the good old
0:36
US of A as I make my way to Atlanta
0:40
Georgia for year number five my fifth
0:44
year in a row of Dragon Con these second
0:49
I think it's the second biggest
0:51
convention of its type anywhere in the
0:54
US with San Diego comic-con being number
0:57
one don't quote me on that but it is
1:00
absolute madness and I love it
1:03
I'm starting to pre-prepare my mind get
1:07
ready for it mentally mentally accept
1:11
the fact that I am going to be there
1:13
let's go in let's go away hey go in here
1:16
this is that door
1:17
the door is locked it's my second
1:20
channel daily four channel it's not
1:22
going well so far the daily will now for
1:25
the 2nd conundrum of the day the
1:28
escalator is not working taking my shoes
1:33
off removing my belts put my laptop in
1:36
its own separate compartment and all my
1:39
other accessories side by side and it's
1:42
about to go through that
1:43
security checkpoint
2:40
according to the digital chart my flight
2:40
is completely on time in fact nearly all
2:43
of them look at all the hustle and
2:51
bustle out there not only are big
2:54
airplanes going by but also buses and
2:57
cargo luggage carriers vans and often
3:02
the distances the freeway just a beehive
3:06
of activity down there on the runway
3:09
going to and fro fro and - it's
3:12
incredible to think how many people
3:13
there are in the world all with their
3:15
own agenda their own game plan their own
3:17
itinerary for the day and the only thing
3:21
that's important to them is what they
3:23
are doing or what their friends are
3:24
doing what their family is doing or what
3:25
people they are interested in are doing
3:28
everything else is pretty much out of
3:30
sight out of mind just like with me what
3:32
those two gentlemen are going to do
3:34
really does not affect my life everyone
3:36
that's getting on different planes and
3:38
different transportation they they all
3:40
have their own life to live sometimes
3:42
it's hard to wrap your head around the
3:44
fact that we are just our own being and
3:46
we are just doing our own thing and
3:47
everyone else is just doing their own
3:49
thing the cityscape teeters above this
3:52
tunnel as you want up now it's switched
3:54
over to a surfer careening the waves and
3:57
check out the large lemonade lettering
3:59
over here to the left two different
4:01
colors spelled out and gargantuan letter
4:05
I do like that trucker happy the name of
4:07
this store is I love LA and they have a
4:11
plethora of goodness oh look there's
4:14
another there's another couple different
4:16
hats down there that I would totally
4:18
totally sport those and speaking of
4:21
headwear I finally broke out the bob's
4:23
big boy cap that i got a few months ago
4:26
except i don't know which way to wear it
4:28
well wear it front-facing or turn it to
4:30
the side do i spin it all the way around
4:32
circa 1990
4:34
over the tops of Esther stallone the arm
4:36
wrestling movie it's like when I turn my
4:40
head around like it's like a switch
4:42
going in the tunnel look uh it's like a
4:49
maze the neverending time
5:43
I have a little snack buffet going on
5:43
here some pretzels can I have an open
5:47
jet a chicken wrap some olive oil and
5:52
vinegar dressing and I'm gonna wash it
5:55
down with a nice cold dr. pepper in a
5:59
can it's not uncommon to see an
6:01
expiration date on food and perishables
6:04
but this has it down to the exact minute
6:07
right before midnight it goes bad
6:12
that's a beautiful
6:29
plenty of circular
6:29
formations down there
6:31
fifteen thing
6:34
these particular ones look just like
6:36
that man
7:25
darkness that over rainy and stormy
7:25
night
7:33
slight turning us
7:36
coming up in the land
7:41
take that back
7:42
a lot of terminals
8:46
these shuttles are for area hotels
8:49
direct from the airport to your room I
8:53
don't know if the place I'm staying has
8:55
one of these vans and if they do if it
8:58
runs this light crossing my fingers they
9:01
also have this little area titled
9:03
courtesy phone center if you don't have
9:06
a hotel booked and there's anything
9:07
available you just walked over and you
9:10
grab one of these old-school 1990s
9:13
phones and dial up one of the locations
9:17
and they'll let you know if they have a
9:19
room or now whoa whoa wait a second I
9:21
might be incorrect it could be an
9:23
adult's phone line lightly different
9:26
weather pattern here than there was on
9:28
the west coast when I left it was sunny
9:30
without a cloud in the sky and here
9:32
water is falling from the heavens I've
9:36
been waiting out here a pretty good
9:37
while and have not noticed the
9:41
particular vehicle that I need to find
9:43
fun fact right over there
9:45
is the flight crew and the pilots of the
9:49
flight I got off of just a little bit
9:51
ago I think my next step is to either
9:53
find a taxi or you know what I'm just
9:56
gonna order an uber
10:06
hope that someone will jump inside their
10:06
vehicle when the flight landed we ended
10:10
up sitting on the not the runway the
10:12
tarmac which I like to call it which I
10:14
don't know if that's the correct
10:15
terminology or not except there for like
10:17
a half hour it's been a very long day I
10:19
think by now it's actually crossed over
10:21
midnight that's when the monsters come
10:23
out see that sign right there I was in a
10:26
totally wrong place the uber driver just
10:29
called me he's not happy it's like they
10:31
bring you all the way down to the nether
10:34
regions of the parking lot just so you
10:35
can get a vehicle where the heck am I
10:38
going seriously like a mile walk from
10:41
the area I was in I couldn't dange hotel
10:45
shuttle been working hard on that
11:03
clean other side of the airport trying
11:03
to get you to leave so that guy was
11:05
Hawking for well thanks for waiting I
11:08
made it to my room staring up the
11:11
popcorn ceiling I don't know why they
11:13
call it popcorn ceiling because it looks
11:15
nothing like kernels of corn that have
11:18
exploded into tasty treats I'm pretty
11:22
hungry right now I had that sandwich on
11:26
