Germans. Can't live with em...

Random German Dude - I'd do you with your glasses on.

Me - But not with them off?

RGD - No. Unless I was drunk.

In flight services

I've been on two planes in the last three days and I feel the safety demonstration is aimed directly at me. And my family.

In case of emergency, oxygen masks will fall from the ceiling above. If you are traveling with someone that requires assistance, make sure to secure your mask before helping them. Because if you don't, you are no good to those around you. Not only will you die, but you will have inadvertently caused the death of the person you are trying to help.

Sometimes I feel farther away than I've ever been, and then I think to myself, self, you've never felt close to where you've been. If your own brain can make you feel like you're sailing the ocean on a brittle piece of ice, then what hope do you have for ever feeling sound with another person?

The highs and lows. The highs and lows.

In my world the most peaceful thing out there is water. It will cure what ails you. Period. I often think of myself, on the verge of scream crying, shaking to the core, unable to support my own body weight, and all it takes is falling into the ocean to feel at peace with the world again.

A world that goes momentarily silent.

Momentary silence.

My brother is 34. He may not make it to 35. He may not make it to 36. He may not make it so on and so on. I wish I could walk into the ocean with him. We'd close our eyes, we'd fall backwards, and all our problems would float away. The ocean would cleanse him. The ocean would cleanse us.

My stomach is full and my head is hitting the ground. I want to empty it out. All of it. I want to puke up his cancer. I want to puke up my frustration. I want to puke up the stress my family packs with them everyday.

William Shatner singing a newly conceived rendition of "Take My Breath Away."

I wake up, snuggle Doc, talk to Brad, scratch the cat, stretch, then hear Take My Breath Away breeze through my head and smile. Cheapest entertainment there is.

Some people say your front teeth are 9% of the outfit.
