missed flight


im waiting for my flight, having missed my original flight by two minutes, the girl who usually checks me in took pity and gave me the lounge card, im sitting among the first class regulars, most of them old and bored, feel like this pretender...but its quite ok, food is bad, coffee bitter but im happy i got this time to peacefully blog, with the wifi and a massage chair. im reading a book - andy warhol, the philosophy of andy warhol, and im enthused with ideas about my blog! ive been his big fan, but right now im practically buzzing with concepts, also i had a fabulous meeting and even though it helped me miss my flight, it was well worth it.

you know how you just have to nail a moment...how do you do that? how do you freeze the moment sand seeps, or the wave kisses, or when the lash falls down your cheek and he notices...well this is not half as romantic but i wanted to nail sitting among these pseudo achievers who feel segregating is gaining worth, wanted to nail this feeling, this high i am experiencing after a rushed day that was full of achievements, want to nail this very moment i am feeling, life could not be better, FREE is such a powerful word, you have no idea...

i don’t talk about the free diet coke or the massage chair, i talk about the free spirit and although relaxing, this "first class lounge" is rather over sold... life is so much more than a lounge that has a single toilet seat, or the crew that takes 30 mins to activate the wifi, its more than this feeling that will last a few hours, its not about the pot bellied, farting old men mingling around, flashing their wealth by glimpses of watches and phones and monogrammed bags, life is this moment of bliss, looking forward to being home, victorious... but im not complaining, i got my diet coke...( and it's free!!!)cheers!!!
