Holiday Knitted Sweaters & Airports

I hate traveling during the holidays. It seems that every single Midwestern white person comes out and decides to fly. They crowd the airports with their holiday knitted sweaters, over-sized carry on, screaming children and aloof look. Being able to read a sign that states, “remove all electronics from bag” or “no liquids larger than 3oz” is too much for these people. Not only must one wait for these ignorant republican breeders to figure out how to separate their items for security, but then you have to hear them argue about taking off their shoes, belt and coat as if they are entitled to more respect then the rest of the travelers because they voted for Bush twice. After a hellish security line, I changed plans in Philadelphia and then had to take a small plane to my final destination. The plan was fairly small and on top of the heat and smell of sweaty holiday travelers, there was a little girl screaming Christmas carols in the back for the 45 minute flight. Oh joy!

Despite the hellish first part of my travel, the rest of my trip was nothing but good stuff. On my way back home after having an amazing time shooting and visiting, I felt relaxed and ready to take on the holiday travelers. Armed with a good mood and a pair of headphones, my trip back to South Carolina was very pleasant. I sat quietly and observed the busy world around me. Going to the middle-of-nowhere-PA makes me feel very Zen.
