The show must go on..

Making a move like the one that I have made recently may invoke some deep thought in the person making said move. One might ponder the life lessons that may be acquired in the near future. They may wonder about the goings on back at home...Or how in the world they are going to find their way to the baggage claim in a foreign airport.ALONE. Yes One may think those things, so I guess that makes me Two..or Three..because I found myself thinking of different things entirely on the 6 hour flight starting my thought provoking gutsy move.

For instance..the clouds. A gas. (for all intensive purposes, they are a gas..lets not get all hyper-technical on Katelin, shall we?) They looked as though I could stick my hand out the window and grab them. And yes..i also know that you can technically grab a gas..but that isn't the point. The point is that what I THOUGHT about was if there could ever be a solid gas. I hated chemistry.. but I do know enough that the states of matter are pretty much exclusive. Only gases are allowed into the secret club of gases. "No solids allowed" it says on the front door of their equally secret fort. So went the deep thought of my thought provoking move.

From there it went to the calculus equation and process of a plastic cup. (Ms. Loudenbeck would be proud).

Then to why in the world they would serve breakfast at noon. And why hadn't I eaten my own breakfast before I left my house. Why did I wait to pack till 11:59pm on July 4th? Why did I even bother sleeping for the hour that I did..i could've instead eaten breakfast. But no, I waited till noon to eat breakfast..even though it may have been lunch to everyone else. PERSPECTIVE.

I bet people wonder why I have a sock monkey sticking out of my purse. I would wonder if I saw an 18 year old with a sock monkey sticking out of her purse.

After flying so far over the ocean, I began to wonder if there were even islands out here that EXISTED at all...I began to realize the great amount of faith I was exercising that the islands didn't just up and move. Hawaii is just one really big joke on the world. Like snipes. It gets played on you..and so you then feel obligated to continue in the hoax for all those who don't already know. Like me, who has never been to Hawaii before. I felt like a beehive all over again...except I didn't have toothpaste on my face.

From 36,000ft i could see little white specks in the water. Boats? I thought. Then quickly I crossed out "boats" on the napkin I was writing on and instead wrote "whales". Way more interesting, I decided. How come all of a sudden I had the authority to change the being of something for the sole purpose of my interest?

What if my plane died all of a sudden and just started to fall straight toward the ocean? From 36,000ft at an rate of 9.8ft/sec times whatever the equation is...(I feel like one of the many math worksheets I've been assigned over the years..asking me to look past hyper technicalities that would make the problem "correct"..which I always found to be pretty much bogus..but ANYWAYS).

..so ended my deep thought on the start of my thought provoking move. Instead of deep important and possibly meaningful thought, I changed boats into whales and gave gases a secret clubhouse. Ya..I would.

    "Hey future columnist for the Ney York Times, haha. I can bottle all of your jargon into a bubbly brew of intensified personality, a favorite of many. You can write, and that's quite impressive. As I read I sense a panic via decisions undergone and a striking jolt of curiosity...Hawaii. Many miles over a blue void and an Arizona girl could only discover that she is swinging in and out of reality...it's fabulous Katelin!"
