Insomniac theater…

Posted in Uncategorized on July 31, 2008 by coolcrys

Peace Cool World,

I do believe that I am becoming an insomniac of sorts. This time, I flew into ATL at 9 pm on Wednesday night. I couldn’t afford to get a hotel room so I stayed in the company’s crew room all night. Thing is, I left my phone at home and was afraid to sleep because I didn’t have an alarm clock. Soooo…another sleepless night for the cool one.

I’ve had a few interesting conversations with the invisible folk. By invisible, I mean the burgandy clad sanitation workers in charge of cleaning up after the entitled passengers at Hartsfield-Jackson. Gotta keep it ‘opening day fresh’ right? These folks push brooms, carts, mops, and airport gossip twenty-four hours a day. You’d probably never see them if you passed thru ATL on your way to Vegas or Miami or Cancun. But they are here. They move at a leisurely pace. Why speed? The mess isn’t going anywhere. Once one spill is mopped up and the “Caution: Wet Floor” sign posted, another puddle pops up in its place.

They’re a colorful bunch, these custodial technicians. Tonight I’ve heard all about one woman’s husband going to jail for accidentally stealing batteries from a big-box retailer. Spoke with another woman about how her family has cheatedher out of her inheirtance…even though her mother died almost fifteen years ago.

And still another sistah talked to me all about how her husband’s baby-mamma is a lazy, pueto rican and black, 300lb DIVA-bitch!

There are so many stories here. I’ll be thinking of them all as I fight to stay awake today.

Luckily I have a four and a half hour break after my Houston turn. But you know me…I’ll probably be right back here with you all during that time. Plus I have four more music reviews to write for www.SOULCOMMUNE.com…where the SOULFUL gather (shameless plug)

So until then Cool World…

Just for kicks…

Peace Cool World,
Work with me here. This post is sort of regional. I just got off of I-75 coming from the mid-west’s best amusement park: Cedar Point! Had a great time. I experienced three generations of roller coasters. And the 1 1/2 hour waits between rides was just enough time to allow my adrenaline levels to return to normal before allowing the g-forces to spike them again.

I did make one interesting observation(at least, the only one I have the patience to write about here). The majority of the rides at Cedar Point have names that begin with the letter “M”. What’s that about? Huh?

MAGNUM XL 200 (strangely named for a brand of condoms?)


THE MANTIS

THE MATTERHORN



The MAVERICK


The MEANSTREAK


MILLENIUM FORCE

Honey and I rode about six coasters. If you get the chance to go…ride the MAVERICK and MILLENIUM FORCE. They are two of the greatest coasters in the world! I didn’t think that I was an adrenaline junkie, but these two rides have re-awakened the thrill seeker in me.

I’m gonna go shower now. I smell like all out doors.

Peace Cool World.

Amazed White man…

LOOK COOL WORLD!

Look at the wonderful comment that AN AMAZED WHITE MAN was kind enough…and intelligent enough to send me. He commented on an Obama post that I did a couple months ago. Isn’t he brilliant? Isn’t his writing just ground breaking? Isn’t he so articulate?
He invited me to respond, but I chose not to. Instead I’m posting HIS email here so if any of YOU would like to dialogue with this imbecile you are more than welcome to. Though I would advise against it.

mrkingford@roadrunner.com says:
you stupid boon. obama is only 4% black. he is 50% white and 46% muslim ! you blacks never stop amazing me how stupid you are. you see a color and jump on board. let me ask you this. why would we want a black president knowing the following facts are true.
52% of all black males will commit at least one serious felony in their lifetime. 32% of all black males 16-21 are in jail,on parole or on probation. 68% of all black females tested have herpes.62% of all inner city black males 16-62 are jobless. 55% of all murders in usa are by blacks, EVEN THOUGH YOU ONLY ACCOUNT FOR 13% OF THE POPULATION !!!!! BLACKS COMMIT 65% OF ALL RAPES !!!!!! AVERAGE ADULT BLACK PERSON has THE IQ OF AN ELEVEN YEAR OLD CHILD OF ANY OTHER RACE ! with an average iq of 85 ( 75 being retarded ). heres why EVERYONE hates blacks.
not because of your color, because of the sheer devastation,crime,welfare,etc. you only make 13% of the population but kill,rape,steal,pillage,etc. far more than any other race. blacks are simply too stupid to realize your killing the very people who support you,whites. after you kill us all, and take over usa, it will be just like africa,bands of gangs and warlands, drug infested. without whites, who will pay for welfare and take of you, as you proved incapable of supporting yourselves. blacks simply live for “gots to gets mines nows” attitude. no concept of unity,family,morals,values,society rules,etc. your like uncaged annimals capable of killing someone for simply stepping on your new basketball sneakers. blacks have NEVER done anything positive antwhere in the world. in my opinion, blacks must force other blacks to STOP THIS ! and act accordingly, but no, you won’t, you’ll blame whitey for all your devastation and misery you cause to innocent hard working people every day ! god, i hate you god damm niggers for what youve and continue to do. please respond back, that is, if you can form anything intelligent to say. p.s. if you do respond, NO EBONICS BABBLE, i can’t decifer that shit.

Tomorrow never dies

It is 1337 Monday afternoon… Eastern standard/military time. I awoke on Sunday morning at about 11:30am and have not been to sleep since.
“Why Crys?”, you may ask, “Why, oh why, haven’t you gone to sleep?”

I’ll tell you.

I was due into ATL for work at 0636 Monday morning. In order to get there in time, I’d planned to commute in on a flight on Sunday evening… around 1700 (5pm). This wasn’t the last flight out of Detroit ot ATL. There were two others AFTER said flight between the two airlines I have travel benefits on. Well, due to the weather on the east coast yesterday, ONE flight to JFK was cancelled. As a result, MY flight, which previously had plenty of available seats for stand-by crew members going to work, departed Detroit FULL and without moi! AND the next two flights over sold as a result of this JFK cancellation and other delays.

So, start the clock.
NO…FUCK THE CLOCK.

I ended up flying to Knoxville, TN at 10pm. And renting a car. I then DROVE from Knoxville to ATL. 3 1/2 hour drive. After sitting in the Detroit airport for four hours. I arrived in Atlanta road- weary and stankin’ at about 4am. Washed up in the airport, put on my wrinkled uniform. I THEN discovered that I’d left my work shoes in MICHIGAN!! WTF????

So here I am. 5 am. By this time. I’ve been awake for about nineteen hours with twelves hours of work to look forward to. I Punch into work:

Flight attendant manual? CHECK!
Extra draws? CHECK!
Brown Suga stockings in “coffee”? CHECK!
mid high ‘06 Nike Blazers? CHECK!!

Nah, playa.Not so fly.
Dunks don’t go with polyester/wool blend.
Plus, I KNOW if I get caught, I’m gettin’ a write up. Eventually, I made it to Buffalo with minimal comments from passengers.

Now, its 1:57. I just spent $75 bucks on new shoes…just so I won’t get in trouble…and so people stop lookin’ at me like I’m the uni-bomber. (Picture it:flight attendant in nylons and dunks.)
I’ve already shelled out $115 for the rental car and the gas to fill it up.
That brings the GRAND total to almost $200 just to GET to work
Here’s the kicker. I’ll only make about $120 today once all the flying is done….BEFORE TAXES.
This cool cat daddies and mammas…is THE definition of IRONY.

I’ve been living off twizzlers and nicotine. I haven’t eatten since Honey and I cooked breakfast on Sunday morning. Now, I CAN’T eat. I have no appetite.

I could go on and on…Aunt Flo rode into town yesterday.

My land lady is jerking me around on a pest problem she had previous knowlege of…

I haven’t had a shower.

I’m [--------] <—- THIS close to having a friggin’ break down in the middle of Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson International Airport.
So if you see me on the news tonight…don’t say that I didn’t warn you.

Dos Dados.
Two Fangas.
Peace.

I beleive I may be delirious.

Saturday afternoon…

Peace COOL WORLD

Not much to report. It’s raining in Michigan. I go back to teh daily grind tomorrow after nearly ten days off. Hopefully I will be renewed and rejuvenated and inspired enough to NOT die of boredom at work this week.

I’ve been thouroughly ignoring the news, so i don’t know what’s going on in OBAMA-land, or HIGH-ASS-GAS-PRICE-ville, or IRAQ-WAR town. Forgive me. I don’t know who dropped albums this week or who’s new video has gotten 100,000 hits since going viral. I don’t know what shows are coming up or anything. I needed a break.

I DO know that HANCOCK was a very intersting movie and that you should all go see it. YOU KNOW that WILL SMITH is the KING of summe rblock busters. Go see it and then hit me back. Let me know if YOU saw as much symbolism in the movie as I did. Or if I’m just a paranoid psuedo-nationalist. “Cause by the end of the movie…the message was clear “YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT, YOU IMMORTAL NUBIAN GODS, BUT STAY AWAY FROM WHITE WOMEN…THEY WILL BE THE DEATH OF YOU….”

Great debate…right? Get at me.

So until then…PEACE!
