JetBlue sucks.

Nothing like sitting in an airport for 11 hours to enlighten yourself. Good way to make some new friends too. Funny how sometimes a person's outlook can be so grim, so dismal so hopeless -- yet all they need is a complete stranger to put things into perfect perspective.

Stuck in JFK waiting out an ice storm that never finished, I had the most fun I’ve had in awhile with her. I was prepared to zone out with the ipod, laptop and phone. I didn’t touch any of it. Its been awhile since I’ve seen a fresh friendly face. The dialogue didn’t manage to fall flat once. all subjects, all ranges, all the while passing the time and making fun of the irate people who weren’t prepared for this at all.

It's nice to know there’s still people in the world who aren’t obsessed with the future, jobs, or status or anything at all. They're just there because they are; and at that moment can offer all they can to anyone around them. One could almost call it the new chivalry. But this one isn’t gender specific, its human race specific.

So maybe after all this time it turned out to be ok. Maybe I’m just missing the idea of having an equal. Maybe there aren’t any real answers right now. But as the equation grows & gets more difficult, the answer will be that much more rewarding when you find it.

And then the journey will have been worth it ...every step of the way.
