So I am in Atlanta and it is really nice. I finally made it down to the newly renovated E Terminal of the Atlanta Airport. It is really nice although not the nicest I have been in now that I think about it. I would have to say that Detroit Airport is nicer. But neither are by far the nicest in the grand scheme of things but they are the nicest I have visited. So after walking around for a bit I grab some dinner and a brew and on my receipt I find the password to the wireless internet, how nice of them. So I log on and Voila! I am surfing the net. That makes the time go by and it is where I begin to write my last blog entry and the reason I had to cut it abruptly off, it was time to board. But not I am flying on the aero plane and it is dark and I don’t have my charger plugged in so I guarantee that this entry will be cut short as well.
So I was lucky enough to have no one else in my middle row with me but because the plane was only half full people were allowed to seat swap and I have 1 person in front of me, who I guarantee will abruptly lean their chair back and bump my computer during this flight. But it is nice either was since I am on what could turn out to be the adventure of my life, but let’s not get ahead of myself just yet. All of the flight attendants, I think that is correct vernacular anyways speak both Spanish and English which I am assuming would be a requirement since they are flying to Spain, but who knows. Oh it is dinner time so time to go.
Yum Lassssaaaaaagggggnnnnnnnaaaaaaa! Bugger! She just bumped my computer and doesn’t speak English so I cannot tell her to piss off, politely of course. So I am watching the inflight movie and the guy sitting across the aisle from me is laughing hysterically at the same time I am laughing so it makes it more funny and probably making the people trying to sleep around us annoyed. Well the flight is good so far. It hasn’t been bumpy which is good and it is night out so everything is dark which makes the light coming from my laptop screen even that much brighter. And as I look around I imagine that people are staring at me with daggers in their eyes and steam coming out of their ears because they forgot their eye covers. But I only have a little battery left so I am going to continue and they can deal with it.
I am really excited to get over to Spain. It is going to be a whole new experience that I am really looking forward to plus the fact that I get to start working again. Work is coming that I need to do. I began working when I was 15 years old, maybe 14 but who knows. But now that I think about it I know I was 14 since I have tax records from 1996 which would make me 14 but tomatoes/potatoes it really doesn’t make a difference. What I wanted to say is that I have worked a lot and it is something that I feel comfortable doing. It gives me purpose. What kind of purpose I haven’t quite figured out as of right now but I have it. I also have figured out that I am beginning to define my life by my working not but who I actually am but it is difficult since who I am is related to what profession I am currently in. I mean you don’t get into firefighting to make a boat load of money. You don’t work on an ambulance because you really like to health insurance and retirement. You get into it because you want to help people; you want to make a difference. I mean no one ever says thanks for doing a good job until they need you or something happens on a national level and people attempt to justify their own existence by donating food … You know what I am not going down this road. It is a huge issue with me and not one that most people will understand. And plus my battery light is flickering and the pop up window is telling me to plug in my computer or it will shut down. So until later
Stay Frost
