Holy shit it's green outside. That's one of the few reasons I like rainy days more than sunny days. It brings out the ridiculous greenery that is Kentucky. It's cool to look out the window and all you see is green, not a square inch of any other color. I should snag a picture of this. I'll attach that picture to this post later.
So a few months back I talked about work days and party days. Well I came to the conclusion that there is a third breed in the spectrum. You got your F.A.D.'s; or "fucking awesome days". Today is hopefully gonna be one of those days.
FADs are the type which you have to pretty much try to obtain, they don't just roll around at any specific point in the week, month, or year. The type of day you wish didn't end. A true vacation from regular life. The first FAD I remember having was, wait let me look on my calendar (yeah I marked it...) Saturday, May 29th. I began the day with a tour of SDF tower and TRACON, followed by a chill day to myself as I prepped for summer and Honduras. The day was dubbed a FAD.
So today was supposed to just be a regular old party day without anything big. Then we decided throw a party for Zack, then we decided to make the party awesome, then we added movies with karen and all sorts of other fun shit tucked away in there. But it wasn't anything that was just handed to me; I had to earn this.
1) The first problem that arose was the fact that I had to work at 6:45am. I couldn't party then go to work that early! So I sent out some texts, got a sub. Thanks Marissa, I owe you. Now my entire Friday night-Saturday morning is mine.
2) This party is for Zack. Zack wouldn't be able to go unless I did some mission shit. His parents are suspicious of his actions and we all needed a challenge, so Zack concocted a little game. I was to call his mom, tell him that there's a surprise party for Zack and request permission for him to come to Dani's all night. I left a voicemail and apparently it was convincing as hell because the text I got back from his mom was "Love the party idea, anything I can do to help?" Hence Zack will be attending his own party.
3) So there's this girl Katie, Katie wasn't invited. Then I mentioned the party to her and kinda fucked up. So I needed to delicately uninvite her. I did it, wasn't easy. I used the art of distraction mixed with honesty (lies) to get the job done. She's still bitching about it but it shouldn't be a huge problem.
4) This isn't exactly a problem, more just a morale booster. Karen and I are seeing Rio directly after school. I've been wanting to see that movie for like three months. I'm anticipating a Rio de Janeiro phase. t'Is definitely a city I will have to visit prior to death.
Anyway, that's my FAD. Lot's of shit could go wrong, seeing that as of now the party is actually cancelled but I'm the only one that knows besides the Jenks. Doesn't bother me much because like 50% of her parties get cancelled at some point but 100% of her parties still go on.
Lot's of stress involved as you can see. But honestly, I love it. It's sort of like sneaking alcohol onto a cruise ship. There's a pretty nice deal of stress involved but once you're in your stateroom, and you check you luggage to see if the bottle made it on, and you see that your overnight bag is teaming with liqour you can't help but smile and do a little dance. Then you're have the ecstatic text message you send to everyone "Bro, I did it, the bottle made it on. Fucking genius right here bro". Once you have that feeling of extreme excessive contentment, your night is pretty much made. No further bullshit or effort required. Once you get to that point, just enjoy your fucking awesome day.
Hopefully, by 3:20 as I sit down to watch the much anticipated "Rio" with my geef (new brocabulary, love it) I'll have every bit and piece of the party-situation organized and worked out and all will be well. I can let out a sigh of releif and enjoy my favorite movie to-be. No further bullshit or effort required, just enjoy your fucking awesome day.
Well time for a healthy topic swap. Alex Krauss is currently in CLT. He's impressed with it, as am I, when compared to prior presumptions and opinions. Now of course it's no LAX, ATL, ORD, or even MSP for that matter, but listen to a few of these statistics I crunched out pertaining to traffic operations at CLT. CLT is 7th busiest in the world, topping LHR, DTW, AMS, and obviously many more. CLT is also pretty close in traffic movements to LAX and IAH, LAX being only 4% busier and IAH being only 1%! When you look at the top two, it's less impressive. ORD is 39% busier, ATL is 42% busier. Very interesting shit indeed. But once you look at passenger traffic, CLT slips to rank 28, and even lower for int'l traffic. CLT is one of the few airports I have little to zero desire to visit in the top 25 list. I'll get there someday.
Well Its 8:25 now and about time for me to say my farewell for the weekend. I hope I have a great time today and tonight. Until next time...
