skybytch 273 #1 May 1, 2003 No really. Sure, I'm not all that old yet, but I do believe my mid life crisis has arrived. The on my left shoulder says "quit yer job, sell yer shit, move into your car and spend the rest of your days jumping, partying and backpacking." The on my right shoulder says "don't listen to her! You need to be a responsible, upstanding citizen! You can't afford to do that anyway!" The is currently ahead in the standings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mujie96 0 #3 May 1, 2003 Hmmmm.....you could take on an intern.....someone to work while you jump and party...perhaps someone recently kidnapped by a local birmdman who may be seeking employment in the Perris area..... Party your ass off, life is short. Said intern types pretty fast.... Just keep swimming...just keep swimming.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I stuck myself with a major 18 year responsibility at the age of 18 so I never did get to be as irresponsible as I'm truly capable of... Yeah...I did the same thing to a lesser degree (not a kid). Got myself in financial obligations that took me years to get out of. Now that I'm out of them, I'm in too good of a position to justify giving it up. But, since I no longer have debt or a wife or kids...if I ever do end up losing my job or something like that, you'll find me in a tent somewhere. I've kept a tent in the trunk of my car since I was 16. Never know when you gotta jam and need a place to stay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #12 May 1, 2003 Lately I've been doing just enough work not to get fired. But who knows, one day the whuffo boss may decide that I'm not "living-for-work" like some of my other colleagues. So I may have to sell my house, buy a trailer and move to Eloy, Perris or some other FL DZ and jump everyday for a couple of years while I still have money left in the ole bank account. Now how's that for a mid-life crisis and irresponsibility. At one point in my life I wanted to be like the Jones's, but no more. I should add though that I need to keep this corporate world whuffo job for a few more years while I build upon my skydiving experience. You know don't quit my day job until I'm some sort of tandem master, AFF instructor and/or videographer because my jumping habit could become very very expensive. I guess I could always become a packer? Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,589 #15 May 1, 2003 Ooooh. I know that feeling. At the very least I want to take a month off work and try it. I have a feeling that after a couple of months I'll like being able to buy stuff again. I've done it before sort of, and after awhile it began to pall, but just a little.

Deuce 1 #18 May 1, 2003 Damn! Me too! I'm obliged to take the best care of my kids that I am able too, though, and I am. You're gonna want to be there when they graduate from high school, cause I am chucking everything. See I got this plan. KatieBear is gonna make General, and she's gonna get my girls into Westpoint. I will then do tandems during the day, and open a nice little cocktail lounge at the Byron Airport to get drunk in at night. My wife will have a fulltime job just looking at me and shaking her head.

wmw999 2,589 #20 May 1, 2003 Quote KatieBear is gonna make General, and she's gonna get my girls into Westpoint See, I chose wisely. We bought our first house next to a toxic waste site, so the settlement was set up in a trust that's enough to pay for college at a public school! Since I chose so wisely , the level of toxicity was actually very low, and there doesn't appear to be any actual damage. Also, I was 8 1/2 mo pregnant when we moved to that house, so the chance of prenatal damage is kinda low.
