Remind yourself daily that it isn't the materialistic things in life that make you happy. Its the people you surround yourself with on a daily basis. They might not be close by physically, but they are either a phone call or message away from you. The greatest gift anyone could have on this planet i believe is friendship. You shouldn't be going along in life alone without people you truly love with all your heart and soul.

From an unnamed source regarding the ZAU fire. "Disgruntled contracted employee was mad at possible transfer to... Hawaii. Wrapped gas laden rags around the comm lines and set them ablaze. Then proceeded to shoot himself." Truth stranger than fiction this time. And why would anyone be pissed about being transferred to Hawaii? I know some hate it and all, just being on the islands. But still...

Just one of those nights where im thinking about how blessed i am to have the right people in my life. The ones where i can share a laugh with, share travels with, etc. Where they came into my life at the right time. Have stayed at my side at my time of need over the years. I'm just a happy, and very lucky soul. :-)

Awesome late dinner with some of the people I cherish and love the most. Plus Little Nick, Courtney, Mama Hood (Vicki), Shelly, and Pam. :-)

Maś chips. And Dos Aguas por favor! Been a while.

Dinner. Mmmm. Be jealous.

Mike Evans, is it okay to talk about it now? :-p

Generic "I am wasted" status.

Day 5 of #5daysofpositive. 13. One must realize that there will be enough time in the world to do what you want with your life. Other souls who say otherwise are wrong. 14. The way you present yourself in the eye of the rest of the world is something important. Take time to look nice, and be yourself. You could be rewarded with opportunities you couldn't imagine before. 15. You should take a look at all the caring people, friends, and souls you have on this world. And be ever so grateful t...

Day 4 of #5daysofpositive. 10. When challenges present themselves in front of you on the occasions they do, take them head on. The rewards in the end can be oh so worthwhile. 11. The traveling we all do is a privilege that we should never take for granted. For there are those on this planet who have never seen what life is like above the terra firma all of us walk on every day. 12. Never forget about your roots, your upbringing. Always say a kind and loving word everyday to the parents th...

Day 3 of #5daysofpositive 7. The smile one puts out in the world can touch so many lives that can be around you. 8. A hug in a time of need is one of the greatest feelings in the world. It is then, you know you are loved by such amazing and caring people. 9. If such simple and generic things put such positive feelings inside you, you know you have a special soul. Live. Love. Laugh. Smile. :-)

Day 2 of #5daysofpositive. 4. To have a mother and grandfather who give me unwavering love and support in my life is a wonderful thing to have. 5. I'm proud of the fact that i somehow, without really doing it, lost 10 lbs over a certain period over the last couple months. 90lbs to go before next September! Hint: Zach & Jen. ;-) 6. If you happen to look back upon your past in life and see how far youve grown up, over come anxiety, and fear like i do from time to time. I feel blessed with h...

The thought for the day, we really dont get enough thunderstorms in these parts. God the smell of fresh rain on a warm summer morning or evening is so intoxicating.

jetBlue 90 SAN-JFK just flew over my house about 5 mins ago at 7,000 with its gear down heading west off of the POGGI SID. N746JB/NY Jets bird. Diverting to Long Beach at the moment. More info when i get it.

Dinner time!

Robin Williams' apparent suicide should be a reminder to make sure the people you love aren't hurting inside and not want to hurt themselves in a horrible way. As someone who attempted suicide many times growing up, the struggle of severe depression and anxiety drove me to those points many many times. But to overcome it all doesn't have to be a battle that you fight alone. Somehow through all the haze of sorrow, you find that you have people that love you more than you could possibly imagin...

So apparently, theres now a Steak and Shake in California!!!!! Victorville to be exact. I'm thinking a road trip is in order..

Amazing dinner with some truly amazing friends. :-)

I keep seeing a lot of Minnesota license plates since I've gotten home.. Perhaps an odd reminder how awesome of a place it is for me. :-)

You're on the close friends list if you receive this status. The past week, i cant thank most of you guys that are on here for lifting my spirits during what has been a hard, and challenging 9 months or so in my life. To be able to show emotion with all of you out in the open is something i dont do very often, if ever. Out of fear mostly because sometimes if i let out emotion, it hurts... a lot. To look around at the souls i saw in Minneapolis Saturday night while we all either sat or stood...

Is anyone looking at doing the O'Hare 5k run/walk on 27R on October 5th? Looking at doing the walk portion. :-) let me know!

Finally got to do the RDEYE2 arrival for the ILS to 6R. Awesome. :-)

LiveTV wifi beta on the sCO 73 fleet is not bad. Good speeds so far. Can't beat the price. $2 an hr.

There are days where I feel that I am intrusive on the souls I care about the most. But when you realize that perhaps said souls go out of your way to make you feel at ease after certain plans go awry, the intrusiveness goes away and you are left with a warm feeling of appreciation, love, and gratitude. ❤️✌️
