Well, flying wasn't all that bad I suppose. Take off was really awesome! That felt like a roller coaster! The seat next to me was empty, so the flight was fairly comfortable as well. I just bought a couple magazines and listened to my iPod. It was dark, so I could look down and see all the city lights below, no clouds, no turbulance. It was such a fast flight too. I looked down and saw what looked like a big city and I was thinking, "This must be Toledo." And then the captain came over and said we're preparing for our initial descent into Orlando! That was fast! Flying is definately the way to go in the timing aspect though! A pretty smooth flight! But, it seemed like no one mentioned how crappy landing on an airplane is! Man, we were circling around Orlando and it felt like the plane was sideways and the wings were pointing toward the ground! I did not like that part at all! Then we finally hit the runway and I looked out the window and could obviously see that we were going 400 mph. I just wanted to yell out "STOP before we keep going into the swamp!" But, the captain hit the breaks!
Matt picked me up at the airport, I landed on time around 9:00. We drove on the tollway past Disney and Universal Studios and such. We talked about the plans for the week. Then we made it to Lakeland and he showed me around town. Drove me past his school, downtown, and then we went past Joker Marchant Stadium (Tiger's Spring Training facility). That's got me pumped for Saturday! We're going to watch them play the Mets.
We got back to his place, ate what we stopped and picked up for dinner (Checker's) and chilled out for a little while.
Today Matt had to work, so I woke up and farted around on the internet for a little while. Then I went running because it's such a nice day out. I've spent the last 2 hours or so laying by the pool getting that tan!
Tonight me and Matt are gonna go play around in Lakeland. Get dinner, he has some shopping to do for school, then who knows!!
The rest of the week is looking like this:
Wednesday: Go to work with Matt.
Thursday: ?
Friday: Matt's taking a sick day and we'll probably head to Gatorland and to see my grandfather in Daytona.
Saturday: Tigers game, Third Day concert/Strawberry Festival
Sunday: Universal Studios/Islands of Adventures
Monday: Fly Home.
Well, gonna go run! Later everyone!!
About Me
- Mark
- "Just a small town boy, born and raised in South Detroit." I'm chasing the dream! The name's Mark (some call me Markuson, Markie Mark, Markus, Markus Welby, M.D.). I'm 24, still young, still livin. I am currently in college at Eastern Michigan University pursuing my degree in Sports Marketing. I value my faith, family, and friends. My family are my best friends. I've had a chance to learn that the best things to know in life are the hardest to learn. Plain and simple: I'm just a boy who has a dream of making everyone smile. I like to have a good time doing pretty much anything...hunting (especially waterfowl & turkey- if it flies, it dies!), playing cards (Flip It Champ), watching & playing baseball & basketball, going out every now and then, camping, hanging at the beach, snowboarding. Thunderstorms mesmerize me! The only thing I've ever really been scared of is snakes....hate em! I love going up north and someday I'll own my own a piece of earth in Northern Michigan. If not to live, just to hunt on.
