Balling ass wedding proposal is balling.

I hear you Pal. 6 months pregnant for my wife but still married 26 years and a second one later, we're still hanging on. Anyone who tells you that they planned their kids are full of crap.

Yeah, I had a lot of girlfriends in my 20s, but this was the first woman that I wasn't ever terrified to move in with. We were living together almost a year (and had known each other for about 5 years before that) when we got the big surprise, so it wasn't like I was jumping into something I wasn't sure about.

Eh, they'll probably be divorced and hating each other in 10 years.

Really, why do anything at all? We're just going to die eventually.

I think half the people in this thread are missing the point he was proposing to HER. All that matters is how she took it, and from the looks of it, she was most pleased.

I'm glad there are still people like him who could care less what the world thinks and aren't afraid to do something different.

I think that men who make a public spectacle of their marriage proposal care very much what every one else thinks.

People who are bitter, selfish/self-centered and lonely never get this concept. They spend their lives convincing themselves and trying to convince others that their inability to connect with someone is somehow better than the love, friendship, the joy and the bond that others have found. They turn to childish jabs and ridicule those who have found that special relationship in order to try and shore up and reinforce their own unlovable traits as something enviable.

For example, I've always known that my wife is a remarkable woman. But recently with the medical issues and changes/adjustments in my life that I have been dealing with, her strength, her loyalty, her devotion, her kindness and her ability to see the positive in every waking moment, has made all the difference in the world for me and enabled me to cope and persevere through this mess. Even though the future may be unsure, it no longer matters because I know I won't be experiencing it alone.

Nah. Typical misconception from people who don't spend much time under the spotlight. As someone who is trying to become an entertainer, I've learned you do it for you. You do it because you want the chance to be you not for approval of the masses. You'll piss people off, you'll win people over, but you don't care. If people want to waste precious seconds of their life judging you when they could drop dead from an aneurysm mid-sentence, that's their problem. The only reactions you care about are from the few you truly care about and those who "feel you", and to hell with the rest. I'm sure if everyone in the world except this woman and her family thought this pilot's proposal was stupid and he caught crap for it left and right, he'd be fine with it as long as 20 years from now it was her favorite tale to tell.

Very much the same way I once bombed an open mic night, but my friends were in stitches, so I spouted out the most outlandish routine I could conjure to troll the very ethnic and urban audience and had the time of my life despite thinking I might get stabbed on the way out. Who cares, I look back on it as a win and so do the only people who were in that audience I give a crap about.

Yeah but come on, it was pretty lame. You can't tell me a woman dreams about getting her marriage proposal via a two-way crackling radio.

I really wish you'd record these things. :)

Meh all the one's I have done were crap because I was doing it the way you're "supposed" to do it. Now I have a new method of naturally coming up with and rehearsing material that doesn't sound scripted or...rehearsed. Hopefully I can take it on the road soon if I manage to get a mapping gig in the next few months.

well I'd at least argue that is not a "fighter jet"…….

They put on a good show, but those jets don't stir my blood at all. They're the Toyota Carollas of the military jet world. Yes, they bear some resemblance to a "warbird", but they don't make fire, they don't roar, and according to a captain I flew with that has seat time in one: they accelerate slower than a CRJ.
