hi Christmas Eve

funny that you and i would meet each other here at LAX.

funny no one text messages you when yr plane gets canceled.

all the technology in the world and yet after you valey your hooptie at the Wally Park and give the van driver an extra fiver to floor it, you get greeted by the automatic ticket machine that says hi your shit is totally canceled! why couldnt my iphone be the one who told me?

so my plane was canceled and the machine said hi heres another plane in two hours. no biggie. but then it said hi heres a middle seat. which was a biggie cuz im flying to chicago. then it said hi if you want six more inches its $44 and you can have a window seat.

now ask a man if he can have an extra six inches and we will say hell to the yes regardless of the price. but im a principled man. they had just canceled me shit and were gonna charge me $44 for the convenience?

so i told the dude behind the deal wtf and he said, be happy they coulda put you on the midnight flight.

no smile, no concern, no nice united style.

so i said fine, heres my money

but then the computer said hi we’re sold out. enjoy the middle seat sucker.

as i waited at the gate i walked all the way to the international gate and asked the bro if he could help a brotha out on christmas eve

he said how about a window seat in the exit row?

and tick tock the Christmas Miracles dont stop.

pictured, a paris hilton wanna be lady who was not at all pleased with anything.

ps Christie has been an angel on gchat. and raymi put a black penis on her penis tree to represent the busblog. and look my flights boarding. laters!

the best Christmas gift i coulda gotten,

i just received today

because im the cheapest of all cheapskates, years ago i ordered a “lot” of sunglasses off ebay. i had gotten lucky off a “bukowski lot” where i got like 9 books for $50. something ridiculous.

so i tried my luck at lighters, condoms, and disposable toilet scrubbers. no problems.

then i went for it with sunglasses.

i got this big box of sunglasses, most of which were freakin kids glasses. it was so lame. the box stayed in my kitchen for years. literally years.

until i talked to the best girl everz, ms chris de la uganda. the problem with sending any of her kids presents is its just like The Gods Must Be Crazy – no one can share properly so you have to find something that all 50 kids can have.

lo, there were 60 kids sunglasses in this box so i tossed them into a bigger box and hid some stuff for Chris (chocolate, batteries, memory cards) and sent them over. i think that was a year ago. today i got this letter from someone i never heard of from uganda telling me about the glasses. and she gave me several pics!

read the letter here and here. it seriously made me verklempt.

yay Christmas Miracles!

raymi is so excited that the busblog is rollin up to canada,

that shes determined to get me kicked out of my swanky hotel room. ah what the heck… only live once, eh

but the best is the comments in her post. particularily from raymster’s mom, who seriously wants to crash the bash

I plan on wearing an outfit that will surely wind up soaked in martinis.

Because I spill everything.

That’s where I was going with that…

If I would have seen this 24 hours ago I would have said yes but now I’m going to Chicago to get wasted in a city where no body knows my name and where I can throw up in one of the grand historic hotels of America.
