Poor Order
The worst feeling you can have when eating at a restaurant is taking the first three bites of your meal and then realizing that it wasn't what you truly wanted to order. It is a tragic occurrence whenever you order poorly at a restaurant. However there is a process that goes into it that many people need to learn to avoid. Whenever someone looks at a menu there is always one thing on the menu that immediately catches their eye and appetite. When you look at this thing on the menu, you always seem to have the thought of "wow I would really enjoy that right now". Although, after about 5 minutes of scrolling up and down the menu there is always another order on the menu that distracts you from your previous thought and makes you think "this looks really good maybe I'll try that tonight". Unfortunately most people fall in this culinary trap and end up ordering the second menu item because they think it will either be worth trying or because it seemed more delicious than the first idea. However, when you take those first 3 bites of your meal you will probably come to realize that you should have ordered the first thing. So what my suggestion is when ordering off a menu, is to always stick with your first gut. Now that doesn't mean to never venture off into different meal ideas on a menu but if something really catches your eye and you end up not ordering it. You will feel great regret and your dining will not be an enjoyable experience.

The Airplane Debate
Everyone hates the middle seat on the airplane but what I have always wondered is what is the favorite seat of an airplane. All people love the aisle seat but I myself actually prefers the window in some cases. This thought came to me during my 16 hour plane flight from Johannesburg to New York on my return from Kenya and I thought about the significance of each of those seats. The middle seat sucks, lets just put it at that. If anyone enjoys it, tell me, cause I'd love to find out the benefits of that seat. Then theres the window, now some people love the window like me because if placed near the window right, it gives excellent head support for sleeping and when you are watching TV or reading there isn't as much distraction from people in the aisle seat. However there are cons to this. There is the extremely awkward moment where you have to use the bathroom and make everyone else stand up and move their belongings and of course there is the lack of leg room for those tall people. But you have to admit, who doesn't like looking at cities as you descend and ascend. Now there is the aisle seat. I myself also love the aisle seat simply because I am 6 ft. 2in. So the leg room there definitely is a plus. However there are cons which are the lack of head support or the disturbance of car accesible ts and people in the aisle. So my question is, what do you consider more beneficial? The accessible leg room in the aisle seat or the easy to use head support by the window? Who knows, maybe there is some crazy secret about the middle seat that history has been hiding from us. Let me know.
The Beginning
Hey Everyone, this is the start of my new blog "Fuirst Things First". I have decided to do this to not just express random thoughts but also just for fun. I very much enjoyed writing my Kenya blog so I thought I'd do one just about life in general (mine preferably). I hope you enjoy it and have fun!
