kasch 0 #1 July 16, 2010 Hi, I'm Dave. I'm new...to skydiving and the forums. I stumbled across the forums while looking for answers to my shoulder problem, which I found by the way, so thank you all for the input! I guess I'll blab about myself for a second if thats ok? I'm 28, I went to university for political science but I'm make no use of that degree in my soul crushing cubible job as a stock broker's bitch worker. I'm a certified open water scuba diver. I occassional rock climb. And I backpack, usually in latin America, a few times a year. My next trip though is to Iceland! Pretty psyched about that, can't wait to freeze my ass off camping under the Northern Lights. I always wanted to skydive but was waiting on my friends to go with me. I finally realized a few years ago my friends suck and are all talk. You know, "Yea sure lets go backpacking! We should do that one day!" "Yea lets go jump out of a plane sounds awesome, but not this month I'm busy." So I started doing things alone, but making amazing friends along the way! Friends that actually DO things instead of sit around talking about doing things. Like you people, DOERS. I'm still new to my DZ but after a few months I'm starting to feel the sense of a little family. All be it a somewhat unstable family, but that makes people fun! Anyway... I'm a pretty open guy, so if there anything else you'd like to know just ask. Thanks! Dave Sex with sith is like sex with a stripper. A lot of flashing lights and waving of glowing sabers, but in the end you end up with something dark and wrinkely. DPH# "-13" TSK# "-13" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluetwo 0 #2 July 16, 2010 Sounds cool man, way to have some fun in life. I figured out you just gotta go do shit too, sometimes by yourself, but it's better than not doing it. So far skydivers seem like good people and that's a nice change for sure. Every bunch has a few bad apples but hopefully we'll see less of it here than in some arenas._______________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jim_32766 0 #3 July 16, 2010 Welcome to the skydiving insanity! You are so right about all the people who say they'd like to try skydiving someday. The problem is that their "someday" is not likely to occur in this lifetime. Like my tagline says, you have to make life have meaning. Get out there and build those experiences! The meaning of life . . . is to make life have meaning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
