Staying classy and my attempt to be clever....
So one last hurrah before leaving for college...
Well i mean ill be posting and everything. Either that or ill give into the immense peer pressure to make a facebook. Which facebook backwards is koobecaf and koobe kinda sounds like kobe as in kobe bryant and could also sound like baseball legend Kirby as in Kirby Puckett who played for the Minnesota Twins. And caf sounds like the beginning of caffeinated which is what makes up the majority of drinks that people my age drink. And its officially way too late for me to be doing this sort of shit...
Anyway...So here we go.
Stephanie got me the best fucking present ever for our one year...You know how on this livejournal i said that one of the 5 things i wanted to do before i died was fly a plane? Well...I DID! It was INSANE!!! Steph told me to come over to her house reeeeaaallll early for "breakfast" cause she supposedly made reservations somewhere. So i get to her house and get in her car and we're driving to breakfast and she says "I gotta pick up your present on the way" and she turned into a privately owned airport only 10 minutes away from her house. And im like "What? What do you have to pick up here?" and she was like "You'll see" so we get out and im getting kind of aggitated and finally i ask her what this is really all about. And she tells me "Well, you've always wanted to fly a plane so...you're about to."
Needless to say this is the ipitome of going from 0-60 one minute im half awake sitting in a car going to breakfast and the next im walking out on a runway to meet with my flight instructor who will be navigating the plane for me.
And you're all thinking "Oh well he really didnt FLY the plane you know he just sat in it and looked around" FUCK NO!!! I taxied the runway, took off, flew the plane and everything!!
The most difficult thing about a plane is not the flying part, thats easy. Its steering the plane on the ground! It doesnt work like a car where you steer it and it goes where you want it to, instead the pedals that are at your feet are what turn the wheels. SO you press the right pedal, you go right and etc. Believe me, its tricky at first.
Anyway like i said, i took off from the runway and flew down I-40 all the way nearly to Conway and my instructor turns to me and says "Do you like roller coasters?" and i was like "Hell yea i do!" and he said "Lemme see the controls for a minute".
He takes the controls and mashes them foward so that we dive straight for the ground. And of course like any human being im like "Shit! Shit! Shit! This is fun!" and then he pulls up on the controls and we point the nose straight up in the air. During that time we were doing that manuver in the cockpit we were defying gravity. He turns to me and says "Look at the clipboard on the console" and i look at it and its floating in midair. Im absolutly beside myself its such an adrenaline rush.
So i take the contols back and fly the plane some more and i say to him "Well you're gonna have to land this thing cause i sure as hell dont know how" and he replied "Oh no you're landing us too"
And out of all of what we did landing was by far the most nerve racking. As i was landing the insructor was holding his hand straight up in the air completely off the controls, he was like "This is all you buddy, its all you" and i landed it!
Ho man it was insane! Even better he said i was a complete natural up there and that i should come back for some more lessons. It was the best. If any of you know me you know that i wear my aviator sunglasses all the time so Steph got a picture of me next to the plane i flew with my aviators.
So thank you Steph for the best present i think ive ever gotten in my entire life. I love you!
But yea that made my uh...life right there.
Anyway, i leave thursday The 18th for College. Im pumped to say the least. Strangely enough im really not feeling like im gona be homesick up there. Im looking foward to....just about everything you can think of.
