JetBlue- All You Can Jet Pass

So it's been a crazy month. I don't even feel like real life anymore. In case you didn't know, I bought an unlimited flight pass and covered pretty much the whole country. I'm reminded of a quote from Fight Club, one of my favorite movies and from which I got the title to this blog.

"You wake up at SeaTac. SFO. LAX. You wake up at
O' Hare. Dallas Fort-Worth. BWI"


ATTENDANT
Check-in for that flight doesn't
begin for another two hours, Sir.

"Pacific, Mountain, Central. Lose an hour,
gain an hour. This is your life,
and it's ending one minute at a time.

You wake up at Air Harbor International.

If you wake up at a different time, in a
different place, could you wake up as
a different person?

Everywhere I travel -- tiny life.
Single-serving sugar, single-serving cream,
single pat of butter.
Microwave Cordon Bleu hobby kit.

Shampoo/conditioner combo.
Single-serving mouthwash, tiny bars of soap.

The people I meet on each flight -- they're
single-serving friends.
Between take-off and landing, we have our
time together, but that's all we get.

Which brings me to my next point; I've met a lot of interesting people all over this country. Some, not even from this country. I've met business owners, salesmen, mechanical engineers, MLM groupies, Swiss vacationers, and some just downright crazy people. I've seen things I've never seen before and I've experienced things I probably won't ever experience again, and it's been fun to say the least. So drop whatever it is you're doing, and get out there and see America, cause there's some pretty cool stuff to see out there.

This is inspiring...

yet kind of makes me depressed how a guy with one leg is still a way better skier than I am. Makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong.

#82- Spit off the empire state building

#39- Get on TV



#36- Take a star map and see how many constellations I can find


So this post is dedicated to my good friend Jay Riley who gave me this sweet piece of astronomy equipment called a stellarscope. I highly recommend getting one. You can basically set your latitude and the time and date and look at a view of the sky complete with constellations. Also I couldn't have accomplished this goal without the help of Marissa. Also we decided that whoever named these constellations were pretty heavily into the opium, cause we honestly didn't see Pegasus or Hercules.

#17- Buy a custom tailored suit

Alright, alright. So this is not really what I had in mind when I came up with this goal because I originally had in my mind a suit made from scratch. But I did buy this new suit from Macy's and it was custom tailored to me so I'm gonna go ahead and count it for now. (until I can get my other made from scratch suit)
