It got really cloudy and started to rain. I had been checking the aviation weather every so often since the morning, and it just kept on getting worse and worse. My instructor told me that it would be alright to move our flight to Wednesday, so that's what I'll be doing now. As much as I'd like to fly, I don't really wanna end up with icing or getting bumped around by strong turbulence. There is a... » Continue Reading
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! That!! Was!! So much FUN!!!!!!!!! Oh man, it was so exciting! I'm so tired, haha..!! Wow! Well, I could talk for HOURS about how fun it was to fly a helicopter. Goodness, it was so hard to keep the thing in control xD it really was hard! But I managed to hold a hover for a grand total of 5 seconds. Ha! Anyways, some photos from the experience are on my Instag... » Continue Reading
Ahhhh!!!! I've been so antsy and full of energy these past couple of days. It seems like the illness I was experiencing for a month is finally all cleared up. You know, I got covid at the beginning of February, and while it only lasted ten days, I think it was messing with my head for a lot longer than that. Of course there was another, uh, hospital mistake that happened and it made me extremely s... » Continue Reading
Today, I got to see a bunch of cool stuff. There was a hell of a lot of air traffic today, both civilian and military. I actually got to see FOUR UH-60 Blackhawks today!! Four of them! That was a hell of a treat, even though they were all kinda far away. But they sure were loud. A few of the military carrier jets were out too, but they landed before I could get to see them. There were also three d... » Continue Reading
It's a hard topic for me. It still feels so unreal. I haven't wanted to talk about it, because it truly was very scary and a part of me died there... But, in return, a new part of me was born. I've not looked through my photos of the trip at all. I've glanced at them, sure. But 9 months later, and there is still an uneasy feeling when I look at them. A lot of it is guilt, I suppose. We have an exp... » Continue Reading
It was way too nice of a day to stay home! So, my dad and I decided to go for a drive. We decided on a whim to drive up to the snowy mountains, and it was AMAZING! Well, we drove and drove and drove until the road kept getting narrower... Then found ourselves nearly trapped! We had to do a 3-point turn (well, more like a 20-point turn) to get back around to head back the other way. There was a mas... » Continue Reading
Ohh man, I wish that I actually had a good camera to photograph this. It's so beautiful outside right now. It snowed a little bit again, and the mountains all around us are dusted with the cleanest snow I've ever seen. It's like neon white. It looks so so awesome. The air is crisp and cold, it's just perfect out here. I love it so much. I'm in a really good mood, seeing all of this. Where I live, ... » Continue Reading
The weather is amazing today, I have been driving around all day. I found some cool liminal spaces to photograph, and hung out near one of the local airports. I got to see a C-130 Hercules flying nearby, I was hoping it was gonna land at the airport but it didn't. I just remember this guy from the USAF telling me how bumpy it is to ride in those things. I can imagine it probably is, but I still w... » Continue Reading

Yeah, that's it. That's the post. Squids are terrifying . First of all, they can grow to be absolutely massive. Whether they're deep in the ocean or at the surface, they are dangerous and scary to encounter. Their tentacles are also lined with literal blades that can just rip into your flesh the instant they grab you. They have this one massive eyeball that just stares at you, emotionless. They d... » Continue Reading
I was perfectly fine and healthy. My life was finally going in the direction I wanted. Everyone was proud of me, I was proud of me. And then, medical negligence ruined me once again. For the past 3 weeks I have been suffering because of a medical reason. I don't want to get into details, but my doctor assured me three times that I would be perfectly fine to go through with this procedure. How many... » Continue Reading
It actually snowed hard today. This has never happened before where I live! It snowed a tiny bit last year on my birthday, but before that we didn't have snow for 19 years. Even like that, it was just a little bit of it. This time it was really coming down! I had a ton of fun playing in the snow, making snowballs and snowmen, and waving to the neighbors. The cats were scared of it, though. Now it... » Continue Reading
