Sky + Miles = Smiles

I've got this thing where I can't stay in one place for too long. It's weird, either that or maybe I just have an affinity for traveling. Yet, paradoxical enough, I generally enjoy the company of others (that's a cooler way of saying that I don't enjoy being lonely). There's something about different places. Meeting people and seeing different faces. It turns me on. So does dulce de leche icecream, and honesty.

I went to the post-office last week, wearing the most beat up pair of holey sweat pants, and mixed-matched vans, along with a suit jacket, shirt, and tie. I was re-newing my passport. My last passport (I lost it somewhere in-between Belarus, and St.Kitts) had this incredibly cheeky grin, I was sporting the part on the side hair-do(a-la-kid and play), and donning a polo shirt with my former private school emblem. It was definitely time for a new passport. I already had the look that I was going for ready. I was going to do the innocent, yet tough look. The important business man, yet hip look. I had it all planned out. I've always been the victim of random searches. I've grown accustumed to it, I don't even bother smartly packing anymore, and usually arrive 3 hours early for my flights. For international travel, I might as well have the perfect passport picture. what was I thinking...Of course, my local passport-person was rude and rash. He didn't even warn me of the flash...I failed to get a good look at my photo, but I got a glimpse, am I wearing a tie...you can't even tell!...oh well. I'll post my passport photo for all to see later this week when I get it back. For some reason, I put an express order on it. It's not like I'm planing an African safari or Persian excursion any time soon. It just goes back to my original point. I like being able to pack up and travel at my own discretion. Maybe a trait that I inherited from my distant yet loving Father...Nonetheless, planning is a bother. Over time, I've gotten use to my candid calculations so to speak. With a sporadic nature, the world as my educator.

Sometimes I like to pretend like I'm McGuyver. Make incredible life saving concoctions with household items. His clever resourcefulness has always amazed me. He seems to know his way around the system so well. We could all learn a lesson from him. I've been trying to work the system myself recently. I'm trying to figure out a way to rack up the most skymiles with the least effort. For instance, I know Delta and American Express are having a deal with a certain flower delivering service. I get 15 skymiles for every dollar. My mother's birthday is this week. Got her an insane amount of flowers delivered to her door. Is that bad? I've actually been sending flowers to everyone recently. Mother's day is May 8th. My first grade teacher. That nice lady at the grocery store who swears I'm already famous. The guy at the Vespa Dealership. Hell, even you might be getting flowers from me within the next few weeks. And if you don't; don't worry, I probably just miss-placed your address. I get high off of making others happy. Literally. I digress - nonetheless, I should have at least a million sky-miles soon at best.

Recently, life in general has been pretty great, all travel plans aside. I've been sucking it all in, taking everything in stride. I'm excited over the recent acquisition of my new website. The lovely Becca G. has amazed me with her design, I can't wait to show it off to the world in due time. I've relinquished my extravagant birthday plans in May(14). It was just way to much trouble at the end of the day. I'm not sure what I'll end up doing. Maybe meditate at home alone, although I would still like to get away. Boston, NYC, LA? Around that time; if anyone wants to get down, and if I have enough sky-miles, to fly to your town, I know how to make an amazing - life - altering martini. All I need is a rubberband, a 9-volt battery, and coat-hanger.

Responsible Frank is starting to kick in. Where this day ends, in my dreams, another begins. If you're anywhere but here, hopefully I will see you soon. and if you are here, let's take a trip. How 'bout the moon?
Yours, and Much love from the skies,

Frankie Brown Eyes
