1 hour of sleep and a neck ache is all I've gotten so far

Oi, I am never ever, ever, ever, EVER flying with jetBlue airlines again!
As I'm writing this, I am stuck at the airport, enroute to Austin, to visit my family, and I have spent the night by myself, alone, with annoying voices on the loudspeakers ever 10 minutes or so, and with perhaps only 1 hour of sleep.
My connecting flight was cancelled while I was in the air, so when I landed and walked through the doors to the terminal, a stream of dread coarsed through my body when I saw the crowds of people that were looking about as pissed as I was about to be when I found out not a moment later that they had cancelled my next flight, and I would have to rebook for the next available flight heading out that way...which with my luck, wasn't until 1:30pm the next day.
It is 6:30am, and I don't think its necessary to expound on how much I hate mornings, this one no exception, except that I might just dislike this one morning a bit more.
Come 1:30 this afternoon, when my flight finally takes off, I will not have stepped outside of an aircraft or airport in a full 24 hours...and my flight doesn't even arrive in Austin till about 5pm, so by that time I will have spent roughly about 28 hours in various airports and aircrafts.
I had planned to be in Austin today already, spending the day with my family, and taking as many pictures as I could fit on my memory card, but apparently some evil minion interfered with my plans and screwed me over.
Not to mention, that this airline didn't even put people up in hotels for the night, and made them either stay in the terminal (like I and so many other people, with only little airplane pillows and blankets to comfort them), or leave the masses and fight for an available hotel room for the remainder of the night. I mean, what airline has cable tv, leather seats in coach and boasts of the most leg room, but doesn't offer some sort of compensation for the inconvenience that they have caused so many people.
I'll tell you....A SCREWED UP ONE!

In the empty room

I've done it again
I've finished a drawing
I seem to never finish any of my drawings anymore, and if I do, it usually has taken me about 2 years to do or so.
This last drawing that I finished surprisingly only took me a few months to complete...I don't remember exactly when I started it, only that I finished it today, and thats all that really matters to me.
I have many other unfinished drawings sitting in my sketchbook that I have yet to finish, so maybe in the future you will see them posted up here too...but for now they lay unfinished.
Here is my newly completed drawing, for your viewing pleasure


done with HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, and 7B pencils on 65 lb. 9 x 12 paper
