I have two sets of friends here at school. One group I hang out with all the time. The other group I only see once in a while but I see them to take a break from the other group.

Last night TJ and I headed over to Buffalo Wild Wings for some social time. It's a good time when to aviation management guys get together and fix the industry over 3 or 4 Long Islands. We have companies merging together, starting our own airline, it's a good time.

That's why I have decided to graduate with just one B.S. degree in Air Traffic Control and apply in December for the Master's of Aviation Program here. I want to fix the industry, I don't really want to be a drone anymore. I want to fix it. Ideally I would want to work for a Frontier type of company. Nothing too big but big enough I don't have to worry about loosing my job.

Yay for me.

Oh and the roomies get uber jealous when I hang with TJ. Ha. Screw them. Wow. SFND has more friends then just them. What a surprise huh.

Alcohol always makes for an inconvenient truth to be spoken. In my case, a nearly catastrophic physical altercation with the best buddy.

I've always been a very private guy. I release information in regards to my life on a need to know basis and sometimes it's very vague when I do release it. I've become even more private since moving back to the states. It's that mentality, where I just want to blend in as much as possible, not rocking the boat and getting out of here as quick as possible without any problems.

I just don't share information with others. If there is not a need to know, then no one is going to know.

Mike and I have been kind of stressing our friendship the last 3 months or so, with a slight reprieve when I visited him in Seattle. I suppose the location could be a factor but not a major reason for both of our resent hostile, standoff-ish behavior towards each other lately. I think he feels like he doesn't know me because I keep my life so private.

I can understand his point. I suppose too much mystery can be a bad thing because someone can not really know who you are.

However, he made a comment that ripped my trust with him straight away. We were sitting on the bed with others and he jolts up when I sad down next to him. We had been drinking.

Mike: ".... I am kind of homophobic when I drink, bad experience with someone."

Me: "... I'm not him, so get over yourself."

That's basically where the fight started. The problem is that Mike is one of the only guys I know extremely comfortable with it. We don't go into great detail but he would be the last guy being homophobic. It has been said that drinking brings out the real truth. Maybe he isn't okay with it. Further down the line in regards to not devolving personal information and/or sharing personal information with the other roommate before him it got physical. No black eyes, no real punches were thrown. I think we both realized if punches were thrown, it would have not been good. He was the bigger guy, he left the situation.

I've been in this situation before. It resulted in alienating the best friend. Finally talking to her some 3 months later, just weeks before her death. I will not repeat those mistakes. We both will have regain each other's trust. It will probably be a difficult road ahead. But hopefully we both learn from the mistakes and move along.

Gods little cruel bitterly cold joke. Cross your fingers my car starts today.

So, I'm back in Grand Forks, Fu*cking North Dakota. I did however, get to spend some quality time on the "left" coast of the US with my friend Mike, and more specifically in Seattle, WA. I landed on the 30th... and by the 31st I had fallen in love with the laid back northwest lifestyle. I stayed with my friend Mike, in Woodinville. Very nice place out there. Spent a lot of time getting to know his friends better. Spent quite a lot of time up in Queen Anne. Loved it. Only rained heavy on one day. The rest of the trip was so nice, as you can tell from the blue skies in the pictures.
