Ranting in the dark

It's ridiculous. The Airlines in Europe have all gone total crap, with a few minor exceptions. Getting a plane to get anywhere, within 3000 measly kilometers is such an amount of crap, that I want to rip people open every time I get on a plane. I seriously can't take it anymore and I don't even fly that often.

Can we please speed up the process at the airport? It can not take me 2 hours to get on a plane that has a flight time of 1hr 30 minutes. It's stupid, ineffective, frustrating and a total pile of horse manure. Check-in procedures are complete nonsense.

For one, when I fly short-distance, and bloody Europe is as short as it goes, I don't usually lug all my shit around. Not when I go for 3 days anyway. All that is required for me to get on a plane nowadays is a stupid X-ray scan of my luggage and my sorry self and I should be on.

Why the hell aren't airports in absolute control of the check-in, security and boarding process? Why does every retarded airline have to have their own desks for check-in? One of them has 2, the other has 10 and guess if the one with 10 desks is the one that has no queue. This is a total waste of time and space and most of all - of my limited sanity. Take control of those services already, charge the airlines for them and settle it once and for all.

Next, seriously, people - online check-in and machine-based check-in aren't a bonus feature of your airline anymore. They're a must, they save both you and me time and money and if you don't have them - I hate you! You suck and I'm taking my business elsewhere. I cannot afford to wait in line with 20 families gone on vacation, with their kids and their cat. I've got one 9-kilogram backpack, so I want to go on the plane straight away, don't you get that? I've got places to go, people to see and just so very few days off that it makes me sick. Spending 1 hour in a line is a fucking big deal for me. It's a big deal for too many people.

And can't we come up with a system for getting luggage on and off the damned plane, that doesn't require everyone to dump their luggage on a belt and then wait for it for 30 minutes on another? Seriously, they're all scanned anyway, can't I just like ... carry it on the plane myself. And take it off myself and not have to wait for 3 other planes worth of suitcases to roll off the bloody belts? So we can all move fast & happy? And seriously, if not that, at least fix the god-forsaken luggage tracking system. Paper tags? Seriously, in 2009, you still use paper tags to track luggage? What-the-fuck is wrong with everyone? What happened to RFID? Let's attach a bloody tag to the bag, that can't get ripped of accidentally and call it a day. Pretty please, with sugar on top? When I go somewhere for a week, I can not afford to wait for my luggage to come from the other side of the world, where you retarded people accidentally sent it to. I cannot stress this enough, I don't have the time to wait for it!

And seriosuly, I'm not going to explode a plane with my shoes, ok? In fact, I don't care if someone does explode a bloody plane. I'd rather crash and burn than go through Heathrow Terminal 5 security check on a busy hour. It'll end faster and probably will hurt less as well. Geez.

You know, I've never blogged about this. I've spammed the hell out of people around me with the music I listen to in the past 1/2 a year. Maybe up to the point where I'm annoying. But whether they like it, or are too afraid to tell me how much I piss them off, not a single one has openly expressed a complaint.

And therefore, I need to tell you to listen to one specific thing. I mean - no offense or disrespect to all the Bassdrive DJs. They're all .. just .. omg. I'd put all the names here, but then I'll have to mention all of them and this is an awful lot.

Right now I want to just write about one, specific, brain-melting show. Namely, the Sociopath D&B show on Bassdrive on Saturdays. Saturday evenings in Europe, to be precise. This is the number one and only reason I don't cry when I stay at home on Saturday evenings. Ronin Selecta is just ... nuts. His mixes deliver the craziest, dirtiest, darkest, most dynamic shows I've came by in so much time.

It's an eviction notice, because if you're listening to it in low volume, you're not really listening. It creeps some people out, yet, everyone I link it to seems to fall in love with the style. "I love it, it's awesome when I work/study, it's not too distracting"....... I'm not too sure if I should absolutely love this response or think they're not really paying attention to the mental overload it causes. Or is it that what we do is so insane that a dose of this hardcore show can only fit in?

"Sociopath D&B, where we give a fuck"

So ... Who IS afraid of Detroit?
