California Spring Break (Day 1)
My Dad offered to fly me out to California for my Spring Break, and although I did try, I could not refuse his offer. A free plane ticket, free lodging, free meals, free entertainment...gee I had it bad. Some people go to Florida, some go to Cancun, but I'll go anywhere, especially if it is free. Plus I got a chance to stay with my best buddy Craig, and to hang out with my Dad, both of whom I don't see quite often 'cause they live out in California. Of course I took pictures, and here you go.
I spent a little bit of time in the airport, for I had arrived early. So like last time, I goofed around taking pictures on that lame moving walkway thing. My plane was actually on time, but that was because I flew ATA and not f#@%&*g United.
Pardon our Dust was all I got out of that trip along the moving walkway. I guess they're trying to revitalize the Milwaukee airport. I can tell you this guys, it's gonna take more than a silly sign to turn this into a cool airport.
I sat down to write a journal entry at this table near a coffee stand. It was late in the day, and the coffee stand was not open, so the poets, playwrights, independent musicians and crazy coffee-house freaks weren't there at the time. But this crazy table was. It had weird poetic writings on it, and something about a Moody Ethiopian.
This was the closest I have ever come to a plane without one of those jetway things that Jim Carrey fell out of in Dumb and Dumber. I had to take a picture just because if I ever get this close to a plane (I was right out almost on the runway) I'll either be flying it or hijacking it like in Con Air.
This is me in the Chicago "Midway" Airport, smiling cause I was happy that there were no delays this time. You faithful visitors to this site know all about my last trip and my disgust for what United put me through.
And here I am, finally at Craig's house about to turn in for the night. Turn into what you ask? You'll just have to check the next page in order to see what this "sleeping beauty" woke up as. It's not pretty, but hey, neither is the ugly green background on this page.
Before you click to go to the next page, I'm going to leave you with the perplexing writing from that coffee house, which cause me to rethink my life and why I'm still here. "Who are you today? A perplexing question. I knew when I awoke, then after that...I changed. But that's not the issue. Give me a moment to think..." It goes on to talk about coffee and how it wakes you up in the morning, and makes you a better person, but it sounds so much cooler with out the coffee references. You don't need coffee to wake you up in the morning, all you need is a dose of pookon.com. Helps me out daily.
