What a horrible day!!! Well... today started off really early. I got up around 4:00 am CST. Why? This is because I had to drive to Birmingham for my flight at 8:30 to Detroit. So with a few hours of sleep my dad and I drove up to Birmingham. Once I got through security, and just before the boarding time, the pilot comes out and says that the plane will have a delay take off because of freezing fog in Detroit. Yikes!!! So at this time, I was looking for my options. Maybe I can fly to Houston with Continental and get to Seattle that way. However, they (Northwest Airline) will not allow it. They reassured me that everyone is delayed so don't worry, you won't miss your connection. So I believed them. I waited and then boarded the plane to Detroit. When I got to Detroit, it was 3 hours late; we waited another hour on the plane just for a gate to get off. When I got to the gate, there were not gate agent waiting to answer questions, and on the departure board there were no flights to Seattle. So what was I suppose to do? I eventually went and found out that I got forwarded to Washington, DC to catch an Alaska Airline's flight to Seattle. Ok... so I went to Counter A8 in Detroit counter to confirm my flight to DC. Well... some where around this time, I must have put down my camera bag. When all the action, was going on, I took my stuff and boarded the plane and ... I was on my way to DC. They promise me that I will get to Seattle around 8:40pm. When I get to DC... I realized that I am missing my camera bag. OH NO!!!!!! ... my camera bag with my camera, my lens, and my flash!!!! IT is all gone... all gone... How can I be so careless... how can I be so careless!!! I am thinking it must have been all the running around trying to get to my flight and trying to get home. So now I am in the middle seat on Alaska airline flight AS0003 back to Seattle, my mind is just a mush... I am feeling sooo bad. The camera gears that I spend the last few years building up is all gone. I did report it to the baggage service in DC, however, I am very doubtful that I will every see my camera again. I am wondering if I should even continue to take pictures. I mean I am feeling so bad right now. My entire day wasted on the airplane trying to find a way back to Seattle so I can get home. I am ending up losing big. I will still have to take another day off and I don't have my camera anymore ... I am feeling sooooo bad... I am pretty sure that when I get to Seattle my bags will be lost at well. What is wrong with me ... Things are just not going well... lately... So... what should I do? One the few hobbies that makes me happy now is completely destroyed. I still can't believe I lost my camera. So ... I guess I should review what we learned here. 1) NEVER FLY Northwest Airline (NWA) via Detroit (DWT) during the winter time. If you do... expect delays!!! 2) Travel with carry on only as much as possible. 3) Keep a name tag and keep track of your camera at all time. 4) When flying, everyone treat you as a potential terrorist... what happen to innocent until proven guilty... I guess that just don't apply to flying and security. Well... anyone have a good suggestion for how to recover my camera or even a recommendation for a new camera? Should I go the next gen Canon body? Or should I go Sony? Or even Nikon? Since I don't have anything anymore... it doesn't matter. I know... I am a little bit bitter right now... I am not mad at anythingˇK but I am just mad at myself for being so careless so careless... And that hurt a lot ... Well... I will write more later. |

Dreaming of waterfalls and beautiful music Lately, I been having dreams of river oceans and waterfalls. For example, last night I was dreaming I was in the ocean, but it was not really the ocean... it was way too shallow. then I came to 3 waterfalls side by side... if you can imagine it was beautiful. people were gathering ... the water were clear and it was shallow water and just beautiful. I think I was on float tubes.. but anyway, we were all gathering there for a concert. My favorite band is playing ... m-flo :D The classic m-flo with Lisa. and everyone was just grooving. What was interesting is that I think down the stream there is a water fall or something... but that location is just beautiful. I don't think my description gives it justice... but hey come in to my dream and you will see how beautiful it is :D Happy Valentines Day! |

Wow what a night of dreams It is Monday again.... Last night I had a night of interesting dreams. I was trying to figure out how to calculate position in space. You know using the surrounding stars to calculate relative position. It was all starting to make sense in my dream and now I am awake and thinking back I wasn't making any sense at all. So then my dream drifted to ancient time in China and I was following a brother and sister who were carrying fruits across the country. They had the two baskets and the bamboo beam across their shoulder. They were carrying persimmons. It was an interesting and strange dream segment..but then I wonder off and began to follow someone else and eventually lead into a dream segment that is at my work place. I was going to work and people were getting moved around ... and I was rearranging my cubicle.... how strange right... but it was interesting... oh and it was in full vivid color!!! :D HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!!! |
