Why does it always happen to me ?

Yes, patronise me on whining and I swear I'll give you a bleeding nose in no more than 5 seconds! Sitting on the floor of a filthy airport with my legs crossed and painful, on a cold evening, does NOT leave me in a happy frame of mind. An 8 hour delayed flight, a misinformed information desk whose only English vocabulary apparently is "You wait!!", an Italian stylist who just cannot stop his "mama mia" from sucking my brains out through the ear with the straw-of-a-mouth he's got !! Why am I on the floor ? Am glad you asked - well because there is no friggin' power point except for the lobby ! The lady in the small convenience store right next to where I have camped for the night has been masticating - yes, masticating NOT chewing on her gum for the past 20 minutes and staring at me as if am some sort of experiment God's having on frustration levels. Okay, the lady might not be thinking that, but hell I feel like that hamster toddling on the giant wheel right now - the vicious bloody circle !! Am hungry, so hang on while I try to get some grub with the measly change I have in my pocket - stay tuned.

Oh sweet mother of all that is good and pure - food - at last. The glucose melts on my tongue as the sugary bit satisfies the craving within. What am I having - the cheapest biscuits available which I believe only kids have because of the high sugar content. Don't judge me, that bloody nose is still very much possible, and what do you expect from someone who has only 2.65 YTL to spare ?! A few girls just walked by, laughing, dare they mock me !! You better wipe that snug smirk off your face too or else don't say that you didn't see it coming ! Anyways, back to the venting - so, here I am, and I think my left foot has already gone numb and the right one is following closely, to give it company - blimey !! I know, have been watching too much of Brit comedy lately, so the effects will show - ignore :) As I stay put in one position, think the pain will eventually fade away, even it will get bored after some point of time.

I would have loved to say that when you are sitting on the ground, just observing, you can appreciate the little things at the airport that we usually ignore - but no, when you're on the floor, you get disgusted with how unclean it is, and the crawling insects that just might get into you baggage, and the irritating sound of women walking right across in high heels !! I am a bitter, bitter man - so put a sock in it and read on. 23:55 is what my watch reads - still 5 hours to go *sigh* . I have noticed one thing though, the Turks seem to have lost their cool knowing the flight is delayed by a whopping 8 hours, but the Italians seem pretty cool about it - not to be prejudiced in any way, but are they actually aware of such delays - makes me wonder about the horrors I am up for the next week of visiting Italy after Belgium. I am going to Belgium - yay !! :) The cleaning guy on his motor ride just waved at me - not to ask me to move - but as a gesture of acknowledgment that my bum is helping him clean the floor - oh da humanity !!

Think that is enough for the current update - feels like an aeon has passed and am identifying with Tom Hanks in Cast Away. Wait for more - shortly ;)
