YOU CRUSHED MY COOKIES!

Hey Guys,
Well Lyn & I just got back from Jersey City, New Jersey shooting a beautiful Indian wedding.
What an insane trip! We where so warn out on the way because our flight and everybody in the airport was canceled. We where so worried that we would not get there in time for the wedding. So this is how it all began, Lyn arrived at the studio at 3 in the morning then we drove out to Jackson, Mississippi and flew out at 6. When we get into the Memphis airport at 7:40. So we are sitting there in the next gate and they say this flight has been canceled and we where like OH BOY. 


So we call the rebooking agent and they say "we can get you out by 6:30 tomorrow morning and I was like HECK NO LOL!  The only thing they could do was get us out of the airport by 6:30 in the evening the same day which by that time we where like ok that will work because we HAVE to be there by tomorrow to shoot the wedding which started at 10:00. So we wait for 10 hours on layover finally board and everything goes fine HEHE but its not over LOL they lost Lyn "my assistants luggage.

So my friend Darrell runs to the other airport "Newark" where we originally where to fly into but they had to route us to Lagaurdia in New York. So we finally get everything together and by that time its 10:30 at night lol. The night was not over lol we did not get into our hotel till 2:30 because of some rental car issues. LOL,so that was our insane first day which lasted 23 HOURS LOL!
 So we woke up and shot one of the coolest Indian weddings.It was on a HUGE dock right on the Hudson River at the Hyatt. So the scene was beautiful. Our bride, Jasmine & our groom Apu where so cool and full of life. They had the most interesting clothing full of color! So the whole day went great and was an amazing wedding. So your probably wondering WHY the heck is the title of the post " YOU CRUSHED MY COOKIES, " well it all has to do with on the way home.   We flew into Detroit and as we where getting our bags out a man cussed at me and held a bag up and said," YOU CRUSHED MY COOKIES." I looked at him and just had no idea what to say I mean your going to cuss at me since you being a nut case stuck a plastic bag full of cookies up in the overhead baggage area. I could not say anything I was about to die laughing lol.  Anyways, Lyn said "Sorry we crushed your cookies," so for the remainder of the trip Lyn and I laughed the WHOLE TRIP about what we could have said. And just the simple thing of the guy saying," You crushed my cookies" was SO FUNNY! You guys know that flying can be insane sometimes and you have to learn to make the best out of a trip and just laugh and think about how easy you have it compared to other people that have so MANY other problems in life. Also learn to be nice to the airport people they are not the ones causing the issues its the flight company itself. All of our issues that day were because of the computer crash in Atlanta that just about caused riots in the airports all over the US for 2 days. So just remember to make the most of bad situations and learn to laugh at some of the CRAZIE things people say to you like, " YOU CRUSHED MY COOKIES."

Let me guess, was American Airlines the source of your problems? Their track record hasn't been good with me lately, so it wouldn't surprise me if that was who you had issues with too.
