From time to time it seems like I’m the only person in the world who is obsessed with traveling on airplanes. Not like a normal, perfectly and completely healthy obsession that you have with whatever show on Netflix that you watch, but an irrational and really disturbing one you probably have not heard before. I get excited every time I get the news that I’ll be on airplane, jumping up and down binging videos after videos of airplane take-offs and landings and crashes disregarding of whatever shitty situations lying ahead of me in the city I’ll be in two or three hours later, that I completely despise (Which is funny as I have the same fetish for new stuff I’m getting or can never in my life have, like getting off watching unboxing videos of the latest iMac and iPod in my rainiest mood).
Main note, I love airplanes so fucking much that I even love the foods. 99.99999% of mankind hates airplane foods. On my hand, I lick every last bit of particle on the beautiful tray the attendant brings out, feeling like it’s been the most delicious meal I’ve ever eaten. Rice and Fish SEEM to taste much much better than whatever healthy and expensive foods people prefer to buy before rushing through the gate like drones they are.
And don’t get me started on the take-off part. Oh man. Looking out the window seeing that the plane is getting higher and higher until you can’t see your town no more seems like a dream. You know that excited feeling you got when watching a rocket launch as a seven year old? Time it ten and you’ve got what I feel every time the plane is taking off. Make it a hundred when you’re listening to David Bowie’s Space Oddity with a closed eyes and you’re sat next to no one.
And I’ll perhaps end this with a question. Why is flying not that much a big deal in the adult world anymore? Why is it that everything has to be miserable now, that there isn’t much space for appreciation of what mankind has achieved? I mean holy shit, we went from having the first flight ever to landing on the fucking moon in less than 65 years. And that shit happened 47 years ago! Ain’t that amazing? Who gives a shit about political bullshit while we’re pumping out inventions after inventions every day and all day. Did it need to be so negative for some people? Anyway, I’m tired.
Please send help.
