We'll be taxiing for the next few years...

So, our friend is in town for the next week. We all went out for a beer yesterday, and it felt like old times, talking total nonsense for hours on end. Surprisingly, the nonsense actually DID make sense. Here's one example:

My life is like an airplane. I've spent a lot of time building the plane, tweaking it to just the right specs. And, now I'm taxiing for goodness knows how long. I could still turn around and park myself back at the jetway, but I haven't yet. At some point, I'm just gonna have to get to the end of the runway and take off, hoping that all the things I've done spec-wise help me fly and don't end up helping me to crash and burn.

So, yeah, I'm taxiing. I've no idea what I'm doing, and I really wish air traffic control would just give me some freakin' directions already!!!

taxiing is okay. it's good to give yourself time to figure out where you want to go. there is time. :)

You are awesome. I love this analogy, because I'm going through the same thing.

Thanks, dudes!! And, Amna, I didn't come up with the airplane thing, but I did run with it. :)

Taxiing is cool!
Of course, when your passengers are whining like crazy and there's a baby crying, you gotta take off...
Or something. haha <3

Once you get this far, I think a pertinent question would be "what type of plane are you?" :)
