I have WiFi on my flight, so I shall write!

I remember going to Dallas, or was it coming home from... either way, I remember traveling on a plane to/from Dallas with my sister and we got WiFi. Only, we didn't realize that only one person could use it at a time so it was constantly back and forth, logging in and logging out so we could each use our phones. Anyway, long story short, I made a grown up decision to purchase my own WiFi on this flight with my own money. I am not sharing this time (sorry, Cade!).

Chicago to San Francisco is a long flight, and I need to pass the time. Here are pictures and words for those of you who are bored or just interested.




Those only took 5 minutes to load, so... I think three is good for now.

Cade is sitting on my right drawing something. Probably making everyone on the plane jealous that they can't just easily draw magical wonders that take no effort. Whatever Cade. Whatever.

The lady to my left was trying to sleep but then swiftly decided to read a book. I don't know what book so, it'll remain a mystery. Also, the drink cart was in front of me, then they drove it past us and it hasn't returned. I hope I can get my cran-apple juice. It's not a flight unless I have my cran-apple juice.

Also, while I'm thinking about it, United Airways isn't so terrible, huh? I mean, compared to Frontier Airlines who is one step away from charging an extra fee to provide oxygen on the flight. Seriously, come on guys. Cade and I have both decided that we like United.

Update: the lady gave up on the book and decided to give sleeping another try. Think she'll ever read this? Yeah, you're right. Probably not.

Surprise! I added another picture. This one didn't take so long. Maybe I'll add another. Maybe I won't too...
The guy in front of me has these Bose wireless headphones on, and while I'm sure he's not trying to show off or make me jealous, I can't help but think of what Broken Bells would sound like right now with those headphones instead of the ones I'm wearing. The odds of us becoming best friends and sharing headphones during this flight is slim to none, so I may never know.

P.S - Cade's still drawing. You know what's weird? My laptop doesn't recognize Cade's name. After all of these years of talking/typing about him and it still tries to tell me that what I am actually trying to say is "Case".

I don't know, maybe I"ll write forever. Or I'll stop. The drink cart is almost here, so I may just drink my juice and work on my next post.

This is a quick decision, but I'm gonna go.

I hope Oprah & Bill read this.

"You were scared, but you still got here; don't forget that." - T. B LaBerge




But how often do you really test your boundaries? How many chances do you get to test them? I read or heard somewhere that Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates each have enough money that they could give everyone in the world $7 and still be the richest people in the world... Or something like that at least. Why don't they do that? Also, there's a lot of people who would probably refuse the $7 (such as- already wealthy people or maybe babies... What would they do with money anyway?) So, in that sense, maybe everyone could have more than $7 each. These are things I think of and this is why I need to write (or type, I really just type it all). My brain can only hold so much and if I write it down then I won't need to think of it anymore. Where was I going with this? How awesome is that quote at the top though? Okay, I remember.

I was talking to some work colleagues today and we were talking about traveling and adventures and I mentioned how I have never once in my life (yet) left the continental US. I want too, like really, really want too! I will, one day. I have this idea of going to the Mediterranean and eating pasta on a hill while sipping wine. I'm going to wear some light linen clothing and a big hat, then after I'm done eating pasta I'm going to just sit there and watch the water crash into the rocks. After I'm done with that I'm going to go to Amsterdam and take a stroll through the canal (is that what they even call it?). When I'm done there I'd like to go somewhere and get a crepe or delicious meal in France and I'll probably look at the Eiffel Tower and admire it, but I'd really need to get to that cafe so I could enjoy some more wine. Once I'm done in France then I'll hop over to Ireland and act like I'm going to try to finally drink Guinness but we all know that I'll probably make up some excuse for why I just don't want it... I'd also like to see a castle. When all is said and done I'll head back home, but how cool would it be to sail back home? It doesn't make any sense to do it this way, but I'd sail the long way home... Stop by Australia and see what that place is all about (and those great accents!).

Like I said, I am going to travel to all of these places one day. So, if Bill Gates & Oprah could dish out that money and a lot of people would just give me their $7 then I think I could make it happen. If that happened then I'd probably disregard my (slight) fear of traveling across the ocean.

Thanks in advance for the $7, by the way.
