Back in Hoco.

So it's been a month since I've been home and I definitely missed my people, but it's different.  Like I said I still have love for them, but it's not about them as much as it used to be.  I realized awhile ago that you have to be selfish to a degree when you're trying to make it as an adult.  It's all about friends and fun when you're younger and at one point you gotta ask yourself what's really important.  I decided my future was more important than playing around, but it didn't really take full effect till I was in Vegas for a month without a cellphone training pretty much everyday.  Once I got my phone I called some people and shot the shit with them, but past that it was all about me and what I'm trying to do.  You have to keep it in perspective though like you can't drop people that have been there for you just because you wanna grow up. In the past they held me up when I couldn't stand on my own feet and they will help me in the future if stumble. They are my support system and they are a part of me and I am part of them.  Weeds get tangled when they try to grow and are  too close together, but when you have well kept garden everything flourishes.

6 am Zombie.

So anyone getting off a plane at 6 in the monring with 3 hour jet lag is gonna be confused and disoriented. I was confused enough to walk around Atlanta international for a good 20 min without a purpose.  Stumbling around for 20 minutes led me to Dunkin Doughnuts, which then led me to a large coffee and a much more frantic state of confusion. I Finally figured out where I needed to be  with the help of a nice old lady (who actually knew what was going on), BUT once I got there I found out that my gate switched back to my original ish location...  At this point I just let the little old lady go on autopilot and followed her back to my gate on the other side of the airport.  In 5 mins I learned where she was from, who she's with, where she just came from, where she's going, where she lives and her daughters name and location. Yeah I know I could really stalk the hell out of her after getting everything except her social, but I'm gonna skip on the eventual restraining order.  Either way there's this guy sitting in front of me that I just realized was a guy...trust me it's awkward trying to check someone out to only find out they're a guy. Actually it probably wasn't as awkward for me as it was for him...  ON TO THE NEXT ONE!! Just kidding, but my planes about to leave so I'll post later once I get home.

EDIT:
Coincidentally I was still at the wrong gate while writing this (more than one plane heading to Baltimore around the same time).

^ That's how I feel right now, but I'm starting to cool off.  So long story short they wouldn't let me on my flight even though I had 25 min to get through security.  If I switch my ticket right now that'll cost me 150 bucks.  If I wait and try and catch the red eye it'll only set me back 50.  I can definitely live with 50 since I made 100 on with Black Jack last night.  Through out all my betting I've never had a night last night and at one point I was close to 200.  Either way with previous losses and the ticket factored in I broke even in that department.  Food wasn't really that bad since I cooked pretty much every single meal and I only took a cab once while I was here.  Past a few clothes, some small extras, and a couple nights out I didn't spend that much money.  I guess there were Mat fee's when I was testing out different places and the month membership at Robert Drysdale's, but it was definitely worth it.  I love Las Vegas, but I love Maryland too.  I feel like this could be the place to be, but well have to see in the next few months.  For now I really just wanna go home, but I have a 10 hour wait ahead of me. I could've gone back to my friend's place, but free WiFi was too tempting.  Pretty soon I'm gonna have to figure out my food situation, but I don't know if it'd be easier to have pizza delivered or to have a food court employee bring it to me for a fat tip. Hmmmmmmm either way I gotta figure that out soon since I haven't ate since this morning.
