Day 361: The Pain of Airplanes

 

December 27th, 2011The morning started in Garden Grove but through the course of various painful airplanes and airports I would eventually arrive to my destination of Iowa. Starting in the morning at 6AM, my brother and his wife took me to John Wayne airport where I would eventually board to arrive in Denver, Colorado at 11:55AM for a layover. The stewardess failed in providing me requested orange juice but instead gave me water, which allowed me to play the sympathy card. Looking as sad as I could, the old lady sitting next to me smiled and requested orange juice for me so I could get my just desserts. In the course of the three hour break in Denver I would eat some McDonald’s, play some Sims, and just chill in the airport. I also snapped a picture to remember the painful day I was in the airport for so many hours (which I will repeat again on January 4th). Eventually, I would get back on the plane at 2:30PM to arrive in Omaha at 4:55 PM.  Eventually a pickup was in order, but was prematurely delayed by a girl who needed to find her missing luggage (she ended up not doing so). We subsequently went to KMart to get snacks, gased up (where + gas was cheaper than regular [because it was ethanol]), and took 4 hours to eventually arrive at our top secret camp site. I ended the night talking to some people at a bonfire and then hanging out in the lodge using all the Internet I could get. No further specifics will be provided till the Iowa Caucuses are over in an effort to protect and secure Ron Paul’s campaign.

At the height of the Great Depression, thousands turn out for the opening of Radio City Music Hall, a magnificent Art Deco theater in New York City. Radio City Music Hall was designed as a palace for the people, a place of beauty where ordinary people could see high-quality entertainment. Since its 1932 opening, more than 300 million people have gone to Radio City to enjoy movies, stage shows, concerts, and special events. OOH I WANNA GO.

Facebook Inc. and Yelp Inc. are set to lead the biggest year for U.S. initial public offerings by Internet companies since 1999, testing demand for IPOs after investors lost money on Zynga Inc. and Pandora Media Inc. With Facebook considering the largest Internet IPO on record and regulatory filings showing that at least 14 other Web-related companies are planning sales, the industry may raise $11 billion next year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That would be the most since $18.5 billion of IPOs in 1999, just before the dot-com bubble burst. Overachievers….
