here we go!

I've been up for 14 hours, traveling for 12 and still have at the very least 18 more to go. Keeping that in mind, bare with me as I struggle through this first post. I've never kept a blog just because, so it'll be interesting as to how much I actually keep up with it AND if I even have the knack for keeping a blog. I've read some good blogs in my time and if I can even hold your attention for a fraction of what the good blogs do then, well bravo! Why am I rambling on about my insecurities about blog writing??! ...Oh yeah I almost forgot, I STILL HAVE FIVE HOURS IN THIS AIRPORT!!
Anyway, enough about that, i've already realized and pondered some things since i've been gone.
1. Why do they have ash trays in the airplane bathrooms?! ...isn't that just asking for trouble?
2. We flew through Canada to get to LAX from New Hampshire... doesn't that seem indirect?
3. If you've seen one airport store, you've seen them all.
4. Airports can bring out the worst in people.
5. I think I have restless leg syndrome.
6. People watching is truly a great pastime. Someone should start a website called "peopleofairports.com" like peopleofwalmart.com... but with airports. I'm lame, I know.
The thing I pondered most on my flight from NH was landscapes. I looked outside and saw the most mountains i've ever seen, it was crazy. The lack of human life and the amount of snow make for a pretty incredible, yet bewildering/humbling experience. I've come to the conclusion that big things make me feel insignificant and overwhelmed, things like, mountains, large bodies of water, the population, the world, the universe etc. But I think it's kind of good to feel this way just to keep things in perspective, so I suppose i'm okay with feeling insignificant. Back to my flight to LA ( I diverge from topics often), the coolest part was in the span of about ten minutes I looked outside to find the snow covered mountains to the desert back to the snow covered mountains then a mixture of the two... No worries, I took pictures :)

Sorry this is such a boring post, but why am I apologizing... I doubt anyone's even reading this except my parents.
Alright well that took up a couple minutes of my time. Next time you hear from me i'll be in NEW ZEALAND!!@#$%^&

I'll part with my theme song for this neck of the adventure
