To clear shit up, people from SGC read this....

[ErnestHemingway 0]

Hey dude,

Fuck 'em. EVERYONE gives you shit, right? Ask yourself why. Okay? Now, let's get on with the real shit at stake, shall we?

Fuck these people. Do what you need to do for you. Don't listen to anyone but yourself. Fuck the mods, fuck the women and lastly, fuck everyone else, including me. Do what you need to do. Fuck it, man. Do what makes you, you.

Jamie,
Listen pal, you've been a good friend for a long time, and for that I won't get "snippy" with you, but the least you could have done was read my post. Take note I was clearing up that I meant IN NO WAY that she packed it on purpose. In my original post, I was simply trying to state that was, in fact, just a really, REALLY shitty day, and I'm admitting now that I (wrongly) worded that in a way that could have been easily misunderstood. In turn, I'm actually defending her name, not dragging it through the mud. If I wanted to get back at her or something, I could easily have said that she packed it on purpose, and leave it at that. But I didn't, because I know that she didn't and I didn't want everyone else to think that she did. For people at SGC or anywhere to think that would be unfair to her, and worse yet, untruthful to everyone else. It is true that what she did to me was wrong (with us, not the packjob), and yes, I admit, I naturally have bitter feelings. But I have no intention of ruining any image that you believe she has. To ruin her image would be her place, not mine. Frankly, I really just don't care anymore. This issue was dropped before you even got on here, but in respect for you, and for her, I'll clarify this one more time. The whole point of this post was to clarify the point that she in fact did NOT pack that mal on purpose, I'm NOT dragging her name through anything, and if you ask me, I'm trying to be a good guy and defend someone, no matter what they did to me. As for anyone that knows me and still believes anything else, in the words of ErnestHemmingway (the user not the writer), fuck 'em. I believe I've made my point. Thank you, sir, and I'll see you at the Halloween Boogie.

PS- I'm going in my tux as 007 if ya wanna wear your pretty RW suit and go as my "Bond Girl" J/K!!! Know where I can get a toy PK??

Did you mean "impugn?" That means to attack someone with words or arguments, or to make insinuations against; he didn't do that. He did mention that she packed him a mal. That's not an attack, just a statement of fact. And to make sure that no one took it as an attack he posted the above clarification.

WrongWay -

I can't find your original post now... what happened anyway? I don't think I even actually heard - what type of mal was it?

Please, don't take Jamie as your bond girl - he might hit on himself!

This is true.

Perhaps you and Val should come down and be my bond girls, eh Sethy Wethy????

Sorry, couldn't resist, Val's gonna kick my ass one of these days.....

Nah, I'm unattractive enough as a male - I'd make a hideous female!

Ok, so overall moral of the story here is:

1) Remember Eric's 2 DZ rule
2) Don't ever date an 18 year old and expect it to last awhile
3) Gear checks, gear checks, gear checks

... you didn't actually have a reserve ride though, right? How long did it take for the un-cocked PC to get everything out for you?

I've learned that lesson the hard way myself. When wanting to let loose with an email now at work, I write it before I leave for the day or weekend, then check it again the next morning to see if I still want to send it. Probably about 70% of the time I tone it way down, and 20% of the time I just delete it without even sending it. In the remaining 10% of those situations, the recipient really does deserve to get brutalized.

This should be S.O.P. for all posts on rec.skydiving. The value of that practice was certainly reinforced to me by being on both ends of that stick.

I was inflated (not totally flying canopy) at 1000 ft. Narrowly missed BIG FUCKING power lines, hit 8 foot tall corn, walked thru 2 corn fields and 1 bean field on the way back. Like I said, I didn't blame her, just felt like ranting (on the original thread) cuz I had a bad day. When that happens to you (the mal), you're pissed. But when that happens to you, you're still shaken up, and your gf dumps you on top of it, it's a BAD day.

I had more to post, but I'll save it for when people feel the need to yell at me out next weekend. Please, for your sake, please, you know who you are, back off. I don't want to cause any harm to myself or anyone around me. Thank you.

Jason,
Listen pal, we have been friends...and that is why I took the time to respond. I think the point of my post was missed. Hell, this is like trying to dirt dive a hybrid when everyone wants to sting.

Basic point is, if you air dirty laundry, expect people to defend friends, etc. Shitty day or not, live with it. It's life, its a DZ, we watch marriages fail as well as relationships. It's not the end of the world...hell, you guys are way too young to be seriously worried about "relationships." Regardless of your intentions, the impact is something else. Passive agressive is still agressive.

To the rest of the folks who want to come to WrongWay's defense, knock yourself out. The dude is young and is learning. He's in ready, fire, aim mode most of the time, but he's figuring it out. I recognize him cause I was like him at 20. If I didn't care, I wouldn't be sending him loud clues to keep him alive at his home DZ.

Now, about my jumpsuit...and free fly pants for that matter. There is a good reason I use really fucking bright colors...basically, it's a warning to you all. Hell, my pants even have a caution stripe down the side... it that doesn't make you think twice, you're on your own. And no, I won't be on your arm at the Halloween Boogie. However, I still think we need to try a 3-stack totem (and get it on video).

Peace....and breath.

No matter how good she looks, someone, somewhere is
sick of her shit!

Hey, just messing with ya about the suit!! I think blacklight sensitive stuff is sexy!!! J/K!!

3 stack totem would be sweet..........count me in bro!!!

Seriously though, I realize that you wouldn't be posting if you weren't trying to look out for me, and I just wanna let you know I appreciate that.

By the way, you're #1 with me!! *extends finger*

Seth! Welcome to the fray. Hey, I can't find the original either...but I couldn't help but kick Wrong Way when he was down. Bring Val to the Halloween Boogie so I can hit on her.

j/k, but are you two coming?

Ditto to what Seth said. Did you have an uncocked pilot chute? Back to gear checks before the plane and in the plane....and yeah, don't hesitate to chop if shit ain't happening right.

Okay, I am a whore. But shows up good on video? Dude, have you seen it? It glows! No shit... there is a halo around me. Not cool, need to roll in the peas a bit. Thinking that color scheme might be a bit bright (yet, you can seem me exit the plane on a night jump from the ground!

I almost hit send on an email to my boss and department head that I was leaving for the day to go work on my resume and that I'd be out sick the next day. I was pissed off because a bunch of my projects had been passed to a new employee without telling me. It turns out that they were clearing my plate so I could take on some more advanced work. Yeah, I woulda looked like an asshole.

WTF kind of DZ is this? You all need to play nice with each other.

Wrongway, I can understand having a bad day. Even posting in the heat of the moment. I do think you are a standup guy for trying to clear the air.

Jazz, it did sound like you where getting in his shit for sure! Big pet peeve of mine! IF someone tries to clarify something and steps up to do it. STFU and let him do it. Obviously he heard the message and took heed. Let him say his piece and be done with it. If it where me I would have PM'd you and told you to kiss my ass! That is just me.

That's the death blow there, usually when people start saying that, a thread will get locked just because the IBFL stuff annoys HH and the Greenies.

Eric,

What is the 2 DZ rule?

And when are you going to be able to pack my reserve without supervision? Can I help you get some Civic parts at dealer cost to pay for it?

People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
