Random Thoughts while Flying

As I was at the airport waiting to get on my flight to go to Houston I did what I normally do at airports. Observe people...It's one of the funniest things to do and the airport is the perfect place to do so. Even though Houston Intercontinental, Amsterdam and Hamburg are more interesting airports, Lubbock International does just as well. People are just so interesting to observe. There was this one lady wearing high heeled sandals and purple socks. Yes I don't know much about fashion either but that is just wrong. I also know that huuuuge flowery, butterfly looking glittery belt buckles are not the latest fashion either. Geez that girl could have knocked someone out with that belt buckle, but she most definitely needed that belt cause her pants were ultra, ultra, ultra, megalow. And then there was this girl in front of me that just couldn't that complaining. I haven't seen such a whiny girl in a long time. I swear she acted like she was in kindergarten. She was all quiet at first and then her boyfriend or friend walked up to her and there she went in this whiny voice: "I'm gonna have the crappiest seat on the airplane. Look, there is only 5 people behind me." "I'm hungry." Friend:"Do you want me to get you some food?" "No, I don't want any of this food, I want a salad." "Why aren't Chris and Brian here yet.?I don't like waiting." This went on for quite a while with her clinging to her friend and just whining. Like he could do anything about it. Oh boy, why can't people just stop complaining. Life is hard and then you die, so just deal with it. So after I had gotten on the airplane and was seated between two nice middle aged ladies who were looking at beauty magazines. (Just a little tip, don't look at beauty magazines they will only make you feel fat and ugly) I realized that my new goal is to develop an airplane with huge windows. Cause the current ones are way to small. Whenever you sit in the middle seat you just can't see a thing. Since I just love staring out the window while flying and I could do so for hours and hours, I decided airplanes need to have bigger windows. I know that this might not be technically possible or not economical, but big windows would just be so awesome. Another interesting thing I found out while flying is that DFW has way to many baseballfields. Because I flew at night one just couldn't help but notice the brightly illuminated pieshapes called baseballfields. Baseball is a boring sport by the way. Last but not least I think it is amazing how much trust we put in our technology. This was just a rather random thought, but there you are sitting in this airplane and only 2 sheets of Plexiglas separate you from the outside. The outside that is freezing cold and I don't know how many feet above the ground. You can actually feel the cold when you put your head against the window, which should be bigger btw. Lol, my lil bro just walked in and he just cracks me up. His hair is almost longer than mine now and it just looks like crap. But he is a guy so obviously he doesn't care. He did care though when I beat him in armwrestling. I'm kinda pathetic for arm wrestling my lil 13 year old bro. Anyway, me and my sis are gonna play some vball.
