What I'd Like To Have Right Now.......

So hype for today.

Finally, a worthwhile weekend in the midwest with lots of stuff going on in the city. I passed my re-take with a 93% so now that I have pt. 1 of Air Traffic Basics down, I have part two coming up. We already started looking principles of flight, types of aircraft, etc. I have acquired a new language, where "B" is "Bravo", "A" is "Alpha", and "Z" is "Zulu" (those who know me should now understand this blog's name). I've met countless people down here who have clowned me, and praised me (in the same breath no less) for going to Cedar Rapids. Don't get me wrong, I'm still VERY UPSET AND BUMMED OUT ABOUT BEING SHIPPED TO RUST BELT HELL.

But you know something?

Sometimes in life, we have to go places, and do things we don't want to do to get to where we want to be. No NEED to be. I want this career badly, and I want the reward that comes with it. If the road to CPC (Certified Professional Controller) goes through Cedar F*cking Rapids, then so be it. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. People deep in the game have already told me that I'll only be there (and certified) in about a year's time. Then I can go wherever the ca$h at. I met a guy at happy hour yesterday who worked for DFW (Dallas Fort Worth to you civilians) and he told me that I would come up HUGE at a major hub airport like that (6 figga jigga!). So I've got my sights set on these spots when I leave Cornworld:

1. Texas, either Houston or Dallas. I have a strange love affair with that state, their food, their weather, their women, you name it. Only thing I can't stand about TX is the Cowboys and Bush. I think I can forgive those two transgressions if I move there

2. Florida. Yeah they have hurricanes, and drug dealers and crime and gators and heat and mosquitos, but you know what? Fort Lauderdale Airport would be super silly (not Miami, I still wanna have my sanity). Not to mention EVERYONE I know would wanna come chill.

3. Arizona. Before y'all start whinig about heat, AZ is coming up nice. It's a major city, WINTER DOESN'T EXIST THERE, and I have all the Mexican food I can eat.

4. Las Vegas. Not the city y'all, but the suburbs are about to be America's Next Small City Everyone Is Trying To Move To. Just watch!


Aside from all that, I'm hype this weekend because me and the guys are going to a cagefight. That's right, B Teezy is gonna check out some down home WEC type ish at the casino. We saw the billboard for this event while on the bus back from the MMAC, and tix are only $25 bucks for 8, count 'em 8 fights! That's better then Wrestlemania!!!

Ladies, I've regained my motivation for the gym. I've lost weight and I look like a washed up former athlete at the moment, but if you all need a refresher of what I looked like BEFORE OKC, and what I'll be in a few weeks, check out the video of the guy who inspired me to push steel:



Rick Rude was the MAN! He didn't give a sh*t about people booing him, and he had an insane amount of confidence bordering on obnoxious arrogance. His finishing move was LETHAL and he was a great performer (Warrior was lame at his role, while Ravishing MADE you hate him). Now you all know that wrestling is hot garbage these days. It's 90% theatre and 10% sport. How can anyone take that sh*t seriously. When I was coming up with the WWF, it was 95% sport, with just enough drama to stir sh*t up. Announcers wore tuxes, just like the boxing matches in Vegas. The wrestlers wore wrestling gear (not like today, where guys look like they just did a few reps at Bally's or just stepped off the court for a pick up game). Guys had REASONS for their beefs, now they just fight for the sake of fighting.

Anyways, that ends today's rant. I'm gonna wear a TapOut tee shirt or something so I can look badass tonight. I might get me a Latina ring girl or something. Full update tomorrow.

Brian you are a mess. Before you know it you will have tons of good things to list about OK.

Make sure you get sweet tea everywhere you go until you find the absolute best sweet tea ever. Sonic's tea is terrible don't get it.

I am glad you survived the mist west storms.

Umm okay B, I have been thinking about either moving to TX (probably Dallas) or Arizona, since it is awesome there, so you can just slice those two off your list, because honestly no city can handle our two personalities.

Not to mention you're a Tar Heeler...but seriously, I'm glad you have found recreation in OK, not too sure if OK is considered the Midwest. That seems more like Southwest to me, but who can tell.

You need to go kick it with the Choctow or Apaho so I can hear some cool pass-the-peace-pipe stories!

Oh, and how can you NOT like the Cowboys??? I mean I know you are a Redskins fan, but still, the Cowboys are cool.
