* Matt met up with his good buddy Mitch, a bad-ass Naval pilot down in Virginia Beach. There are a bunch of sweet things about this guy, but here are the top three awesome things about Mitchiepoo.
1) Mitch always wanted to be a Naval pilot. Then he did it. It isn’t like he wanted to become something attainable, like a cowboy or a traveling loser in a novelty vehicle. He became a real life Maverick, minus the latently homosexual scenes with Val Kilmer.
2) Mitch has a sweet, equally bad-ass fiance named Gabby who has fed Matt many delicious meals. And when compared to his previous girlfriend, it is less an upgrade from a compact to a luxury sedan, and more an upgrade from a broken skateboard to an automobile.
3) Mitch had eye surgery to become eligible to be a pilot. And now his eyes are so awesome they can do everything but shoot out lasers.
* Keep patrolling the skies, Mitch. Matt will handle things down here.
