dontlikemustard 0 #1 June 19, 2012 im fucking addicted its almost 12:30 am, i need to wake up in 5 hours and go to work so that i can spend all the money i am making going skydiving. instead im browsing these forums all night long and watching skydiving videos on youtube. im losing touch with most of my whuffo friends, i haven't played my drumset in months, my family thinks i've gone crazy. they even had an intervention. skydiving was the one thing i told myself i would never do. all it took was one horrible day and an "i dont give a fuck" attitude, and jumping off a plane was the first thing that popped in my head. i mean, fuck, even if i do the math it makes no sense. ive already spent a total of about $2,500, drove about 17 hours, got dumped, risked my life 13 times... for about 6.5 minutes of freefall. ya go ahead and flame me you assholes. i'll still love you all because you guys know how to live. blue skies.

SansSuit 1 #21 June 21, 2012 Whenever I reach for my wallet my other hand automatically goes over my head. I get weird looks whenever I check out at Starbucks but they're getting used to it. My name is Jeff. and I'm a parachutist. There are no 12-step programs for skydivers. You can only treat the symptoms ....... by jumping more.
