Day one.

So here I am.

I would love to write a rant about how I feel right now and go on and on forever, but I wont.  I landed in the foreign world today.  I got to spend all 5 hours of my flight next to two obnoxious people.  We will start where most good stories start, the beginning.  I boarded my plane and immediately looked for a window seat.  When you get a window seat, it is MUCH easier to fall asleep.  Well, much to my shagrin, I find my window seat and take it as fast as possible!  Victory is mine!  So I thought...

Sitting to my right was a nice, botox induced woman.  She carried with her two magazines.  This lets me know that she wont be bothering me anytime soon.  But wait, what is this?  A woman and her child come creeping down the isle.  They too pick the window seat.  The one directly behind me.  Throughout the entire first flight I am kicked in the back by the 3 year old spawn of Satan himself.  Of course, the mother does next to nothing to stop him, and I am left with a total of 0 hours of sleep. Joy.

Flight numero deux (see what I did there?).  Same plane but new seats!  I almost decided to take the one at the complete front of the plane because it had the most leg room and I am, well, big.  I mean, it's in my title... but I digress.  Almos everyone has borded the plane and so far I have the entire row to myself.  I start activating this people repellent to try and stray people way from me.  I fake coughed.  I pretended I had the black lung and people bought it!  Except for one.  I like to call her, Nature Granny.  She decided to take the middle seat (even though the isle is open) she sits down with a giant smile on her face and immediately asks me what any normal person would ask a complete stranger.  "Do you like fish?"  Oh, I am in for a long 1 hour and 25 minute flight.  I again got no sleep but I did get to here a bunch of interesting stories.  For example, Nature Granny once went on a 4 month bike ride from LA to NYC,  she has been to almost every country in Europe,  she learned fluent Portugese,  she speaks French in Russian.  That last one isn't true just making sure you are paying attention.  But, in all honesty, she was a very nice lady and left me with this "Live life like a tourist, and enjoy your existence."

Wow, thank you grand master Nature Granny.  That is actually a good quote and lesson.  So followers, I leave you with this:  Live life, like life is meant to be lived, in your eyes.

Yours truly,
BFK
