Feature film in the main cabin sucky? Children just love kicking your seat from behind? You just can't get some sleep?

Here's the best way to travel for us citizens of the world.

1) Not with Northwest

Though the may offer the cheapest flights, if you travel frequently, a little comfort and leg room are more that welcome. My experience with Cathay is great for trans-pacific. They have personal entertainment systems in the main cabin!

2) With earplugs

For those that could bear the lull of the engine at 2000 feet, I tell you, you are freaks of nature. Get medical help.

3) With noise-canceling headphones/earphones

This is a 10 year old technology. Listening to Beyonce from you ipod may prove a tad more satisfying without the crying baby in background.

4) With an eye mask

Some people just love reading when it's supposed to be lights off. This would help improve the illusion of darkness.

5) Without belts or jewelry

Efficiency before style. Get rid of the hassle of constantly un-bling-ing and bling-ing when passing through security inspection from the onset.

6) With a DS lite or a PSP slim

Just love it when kids point and drool. Hahaha. Ok, didn't I tell you guys I was evil?

7) With a jacket that has deep and secure pockets

They ask for hand carry bags and luggage to be stowed. Not jackets.

8) Using online check-in

They have predicted back in 1992 that lines would be a thing of the past by now. I guess they were wrong.

It pains me to answer a number of questions.
But nothing pains me more than this one I guess.
There's no way around it; It's plain and bare.
Will you go out with yourself? Nothing more, nothing less.

Far From Home 2:48 AM

Northern Dusk

I grew up from place much different from this
A place where dust is in every crevice
Where the sun sets early in the evening
And where the day ends late at night

Where I am right now could not be more distant
For it takes no notice of the world beyond
It exists where reality ends for some
And it survives purely in the minds of most

The leaves here grow weary as the seasons change
And here, the autumn breeze carries a forlorn fall
The dream of here can only be for now
A flight not for me and maybe not for all
