Orange1 0 #26 June 8, 2006 I had a Pearl Jam CD in my car driving back from my 2nd jump, and the chorus "I'm still alive" - which seemed very appropriate at the time! - now always makes me think of jumping Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

And the music keeps on playing on and on.." And intepreted it as they came across this scary event but instead of panicking they just took it into stride and had fun with it. After all it's such a fun song! I can't not dance to it whenever I hear it! I guess that's what skydiving is like for me- scary but such a blast!

I go to it all the time just to laugh at it. As for me--I'm a TOOL girl all the way. If you don't have it yet, check out the new album "10,000 Days". Its righteous.
