Dear World, By the time you read this, I'll be in LA...

This morning was quite challenging.

I had my bags about 95% packed already which meant all I had to do was get up, shower, shave, iron, download some tunes into my BB, feed my dog **William Benjamin Johnson**, then hit the trail. I packed additional items like bath products, more undies, white tees, wallet, etc. I didn't feel like cooking therefore my thoughts were to grab something at the nearest gas station.

I knelt at the bed of my kids and prayed for their safety as well as my own, then stuffed my things in the car and headed out. The car was on E **like Eminem** so I had to stop for some petro. I was only driving to Uncle Marvs house so I only got $10 worth of gas, a Crunk Juice, a Yogurt Bar, and some Crackers. The cashier must have been brand new because he was I unable to work the credit card machine. Luckily I had about $80 in cash on me. So I paid for my items and proceeded to pump my gas.

Finally hit the road. I inserted my Mixtape **The Adventures of Don Ghotti & Don Pitts - Official Mixtape Vol. 1** which was ironic that the Mixtape is about my play list during a flight to LA. I was banging my head as I sped up the Highway listening to the likes of Jessica Tonder, Rob Grimes, Quinn Maeback, Big Sean, Bishop City, etc.

I finally reached Uncle Marv's crib. I changed my things into his car and away we zipped up 75N. We chatted about the Mixtape Listening Session this past Saturday, listened to some records, and by that time we'd made it to the airport. I got my bags out and approached the Delta Check-in.

I weighed my bags at the house and my heaviest bag was 40 lbs. As I lay the bag on the scale, I knew it would be more weight somehow. Sure enough it came in at 58 lbs. I quickly shifted my things to my hanging overnight bag.

I finally made it through security , to the incorrect terminal at first, then to the right terminal, on the plane, then...

**LA HERE I COME**
