So I've taken a few flying lessons so far, and I absolutely love it.  I feel at home and natural in the air, and not afraid at all.  I mean it's a tiny TINY plane, yet I feel very safe.  I even landed the plane almost on my own today, which I didn't realize I was doing, but it wasn't that bad of a landing.  Nothing to write home about, but I'm safe ( Read more... )

Today I had my first flying lesson.  It was in a little 4-seater where the top opened to let you in.  I sat in the pilot's seat and helped with the take off.  It was pretty sweet hearing all the chatter on the radio, though I didn't understand much of it.  I learned about the numbers and letters you see on the runway and how they're basically like ( Read more... )

So for a long time now there's been a small part of me that's wanted to be a pilot.  I guess you could say that's what I wanted to be when I was a kid.  I've been going to church religiously (pun definitely intended) and I've been mostly praying to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing with my life.  I've always felt a lack of direction when it ( Read more... )

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:

Ohh
I got a call today
At 3 AM
It's what you didn't say that told me I'd get hurt again.
So I hung up the phone
And I screamed out loud
I felt so alone, I should had said the things I'm thinking now

Ohh never thought it would be so hard to let you go

Tell me how I'm gonna make it your the one I can't forget
It's like I'm ( Read more... )

 So this is what I've decided I'm going to try.  I want to work for the Federal Reserve Bank.  For those of you who don't know what that is, it's the bank of all banks.  It's the bank that tells the other little banks what to do and decides if the interest rate is going to change.  Aka: The Fed ( Read more... )
