Cellphone entry #1

Texas, day 1:::
So, 4 team members left the stony brook lirr on the 6am train. Believe it or not, that's the second time ever that I've rode on the lirr... The first time was the 2nd week of my first semester at stony where I went back to get my car. Ever since that, I've relied on my car for everything else. But this was not a situation where a motor vehicle could be relied on. I'm not paying about 100 dollars for 5 day parking at laguardia.
So the rest of our team meets us at the airport and we head on over to the security gate. I am not being racist or anything here but they pulled our brown friend aside and he gets chosen for some "additional" screening. LOL.
Ok, so he called beforehand that this would happen, everyone laughs it off and we head over to the gate to wait for our plane.

Turns out that our plane is first delayed by 1 hour 30 mins because originally, it was a flight from cleveland and they had some snow problems so they delayed our flight. Cool. But... 2 hrs later, they told us all flights from cleveland are cancelled. Greattttt so now we have to split the team up and board 2 seperate flights to go to houston, miss the orientation, AND miss the houston rockets game...
Gee man, let a yellow brotha catch a break... Life isn't about drinking tea and building railroads.. Sometimes, we want to ride the planes too!!

So we split up into flights that are either 3:10pm or 5:30pm. I told myself that I was lucky to be on the earlier flight but it seems that it's not the case...
The first flight kept on having delays and it didn't even have food@@@ just some pretzels and some OJ -_-
The second flight had sandwiches and everything good... Blehhhhh

Ok, so we get there and then we have to take a bus that runs every 45 mins from the airport to houston. We fiiiiinally get there after 1 hour because the bus driver had to take a dump at every gas station that she saw...

After we met up, we went ti buffalo wild wings for dinnahhhhhhhh. And let me tell you. NOTHING is better than some blazin wings for dinner :p

That basically ends day 1.. I wanted to recap day 2 (today) too but my fingers REALLY hurt from typing on a blackberry and my stony suitemate ivan is snoring too loud now in the hotel.. So I'm going to stop here for today.

HakoneDayDreamer, to become one of us, you need to become none of us.
