Whatzthis? I'm all into my skydiving, as you well know & I am serious about my skydiving, I am training, in addition to flying camera. I do like the.... "freedom... and flying my body like the birds... and all the hearts and flowers shyt" And I do have skills. but I sespecially like the creative part. However, The point of "AIRANN.COM" is not to be confused with AirAnn personally.......... -Me- I just want to jump outta air planes. The separate issue of AIRANN.COM famous!? --Hell yeah, I would like for it to be famous. ~But.... for what AIRANN.COM is about. Not for some girl who runs it. AIRANN.COM is a vehicle to help skydivers. All of us. But especially women. Sponsor that effort ....not ME. http://www.AirAnn.com Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

Being famous ?? ...Well depends on what for. Fame is a bitch. Either people hate you or love you. (Hard to tell sometimes.) When you represent a company via sponsorhsip or whatever you kinda get famous a little. That is when you start being judged by other persons on whether or not you deserve your "fame". ...And that is when it can get really tough. Persons can say anything they want to because they dont know. Take a well known Swooper for example, I have heard it all. He isnt as good as he used to be. He isnt as good as this kid with 300 jumps. I had a swoop that would have beat him out the other day. Sports figures are on somedays and off somedays. Just like everyone else. Its like a in time. Competing for example. I did that and lost like a big dog. Total LOZER!! But I entered as the only girl and I lost as the only girl. And when I was paired with a guy that was 5 times my size to do 2 Eagles.... even Rook couldnt drag me down to him. You just shouldnt put a feather with a bowling ball. Especially when said bowling ball is in a fast suit and can fly bowling ball rate and thats it. There are statistics that are incredibly interesting and I read them today. It is more geared to big media sports persons but still........ Here they are: "Mud Sticks!" Minimize the Harsh Impact of Negative News The "Mud Sticks" Theory reflects the way most human beings digest and remember information. Most information falls easily into three categories: neutral, positive or negative. The goal is to position yourself and your information in the most advantageous way. When the information about you is negative it's critical to reposition it in as positive or at least as neutral a manner as possible. 1. Neutral information makes a psychological impact on the public because they're learning something about you, your abilities, etc. Impact Factor: 1x 2. Positive information has double the psychological impact on the public. They're learning about you and they're developing a positive impression. Impact Factor: 2x 3. Negative information (a.k.a. "Mud") has four times the psychological impact. Bad news has a much stronger impact on our psyches and we remember it much longer. Impact Factor: 4x Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

Maybe this one: http://www.airann.com/gallery/show.cgi?Pic=SLandAirAnn.jpg&cat=3&page=1 At least that one is what I really look like. Ask Cyberskydiver. I believe he has seen me in real life. Yikes, Here I will attach it for you. Stay outta the gallery!! I am not finished making changes in there!! Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

Thanks Everybody, this morning I am a little sore. And my bike has a flat. Guess AirDan is driving me to work. But, I made some Jet Fuel ! ..AirAnn Coffee.. It was just like my cutaway sorta- I was looking at the ground outside my passenger side window and I thought Left toggle! Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

Clay- do you think that- - You head is solid or hollow.?- - I cant decide. ...LOL You kill me bro, ...... LOL In Texas- we have a large number of individuals moving here every day. Including over the border from Mexico, Its a very large crossing. Imagine taking 2 days to cross your state? Some people get so tired, they just pull over and build a house. Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

The officer asked me ... What happened? SO, I told him ... I crashed my car.. the one .. you know...... right here. What happened.... Well, "I was moving from that lane over there.. to this lane over here and .......my car almost tipped over! huh ! ! ?" (Little finger nail... being chewed on.) ...I shake my head, "Tippsy little cars arent they?" ...Huh ! ! I feel like I have had a bit of a hard opening, thats about it. I believe hitting the 3rd Airblade is the one that hurt. Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

Clay are you totally solid in the cranium? Excuse me.... but............. He like moved to Texas. Any questions? Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

Well, first you gotta be in a Marroon Rodeo going about 50 or 60. Then you have to try to make an exit at that speed. Pick one that is really high up in the sky. (Wear your rig) Then while making a left carve hit the divider thingy with the left front - then get airborn on the right 2 wheels. After you have accomplished this ... keep thinking real fast... Gently correct the airborn position by turning the steering wheel a little to the left, but if you go too far you will do a dramatic carve into the guardrail and wreck the front again. Lucily for me I bounced off that and back into my carving manovers again. So then, when you get airborn again on the left 2 tires- gently turn the steering wheel to the right - dont carve too much or you will "appear to almost go over the guardrail" plundging downward onto the street. This apparently scares persons in the cars behind you. Pretend the guard rails are airblades. It worked for me. I hit every airblade. But, I dont think it was an accuracy event. Actually I hit 3 or 4 airblades. I came to rest on top of airblade #3. I am thinking I did not win this event. But dont worry about the business men in white Mercedes they will leap out and start handing you cell phones. And say stuff like.... You sure have a good attitude about this. While waiting for Houston's finest to arrive with all the flashy lights... Entertain yourself by watching the wrecker drivers figure out who is taking your totally whacked paid off Rodeo to the burial mound. Then play math games about how much the ticket will cost. Lets see... out of date inspeciton sticker, out of date license tag, out of date drivers license, out of date insurance card. Texas Blonde, tall and skinny with a nice white smile = NO TICKET Thats about it for the 2nd day on my new job. Nothing exciting. Except, for when the Mercedes Dude told Cyber the directions on how to come and get me. Well, she is a little shook up, but get here by way of ... here, .... uh.. there... if you get to Dallas or Austin you went the wrong way. All I said was- #1 make sure the dogs are in the house and I crashed my car and come and get me. Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

I am freaking out right now!!! Get that Dude to hook up with my happy ass before he knocks a brother out. ~I jump a freaking camera. ~ And there is NO PLAY about pretending you have a camera on and then forget about other people in the freaking sky. Good Lord! Slappie, I do not see your explanation about you beating the earth with your fists while all wrapped up in your lines....?? Thats all I saw. Why dont I wear my camera 24/7? My car wreck would have been cool today. Could have... seen me go right off the overpass. Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

I had my tounge pierced some months ago. It didnt hurt at all. And immediately following that appointment, I swung by my favorite MD's office and got my hook up for antibiotics and pain killers. I dont remember feeling anything. Now, it bores me. I dont know what to do with it. And at work, I talk real quiet, which is UN-usual. But a certain person always knows when I am concentrating. I sit there chewing on it, I guess. I may take it out. Its boring. Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

Texas women are national treasures. An endangered species. Not your everyday Jane. However, a friend of mine told me once, (a guy) that all Men need to know about Women they already know. His opinion was, this. Women are smooth and soft and wet in all the right places. And thats about all I have to say about that. Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

Freakey Sis- you totally have to come on down and have some fun. I am sitting in my living room with Alt and Head Cam Helmet on? ............... Uh..... I was installing with my bran new $1.25 CamEye. And it works like a charm. Thanks Sonic Tom & Jeremy!

Ya see, this is the kinda thing that happens when a skydiver goes to sleep and other people are drinking. You get an eyebrow shaved off. You get a wet knukle. or even the more creative Blind Folded Sit Ups. Hummm.... Wonder what happens to Cyber tonight at the DZ.... 'all eyes staring at the beer light' Its on! ITs ON!!! .... Party time.. Excellent.. Dangerous.... Party time... Excellent.... Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

Ahhh, I am all over Piked, ....... I am just messing with him. Its all good. Hysterical laughing. Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

Ive got jobs, --- Pool Boyeeeee!!! The jacuzzi rules - fixes the 'Ecnomic Blues' that we are all having right now. EVERYbody is hurt or in danger of lay offs. I say if any skydiver needs a job or if any skydiver knows of one to please consider the Skydiver Network, its nationwide and also is for Skydiver Mentors (or DZ family members)support as well as, jump buddies. It should be really soon that all these things are available on AirAnn.com Meanwhile Use the contact Ann page so I can get info out and put your job or in need of... there and we can better know what kind of format to use on the page. THE FOLLOWING IS A COPY OF WHAT I SENT OUT TO MY SKYDIVING FRIENDS -some are funny, but you get the idea- right? We have all been messed up because of AssYoma BedLinen and his homies flyin into stuff. And it has messed up or jobs and our sense of security. Not to mention the obvious. So help me help some other people out here. I have figured out a way to have a -Skydivers Network- on my web page. It has to be redone due to sponsorship issues anyway, so I am adding this idea on the to do list for the page. But giving this priority. We can not support our families or drop zone if we are not working. SO... I know people who can help you with-- a law case, give your dog shots, fix your web site, write computer code, landscape your yard, and repack your reserve. BUT... do you know the people I know? I dont know.... I know an electrician who needs work too. My idea... (and I need your advise and ideas)... The Skydivers Network... for jobs. Wouldnt we all like to work for another skydiver. Lunch meetings would be alot more interesting. And my boss saying "Hey lets go to the DZ when we get off work" would be sweet. If I have a black eye ... I wont have to blame my dog anymore. We all have to work and seek out new and better things for ourselves these days. I say we build a campfire and work as a team on this one. Everyone can have a professional AirAnn.com address Like ... PimpDaddy@AirAnn.com. This address will forward your mail to your current email address and you never think about it again. And I never even see it, bam it -goes to you. I am just your hook up. So lets say, I have a page listing that goes like this for your bizness to get supported: Sherry's Dog & Cat Shots for Worms WhereverHerOfficeIs, Tx 555-420-6969 Landscaping 4 Me and My brokeass Leg HeadDownCamera, Tx 555-420-6969 Self Defense Stuff PepperSpray, Tx 555-420-6969 Then the other idea is this page for those of us who need a job.: I am a brokeass Web Maker. Email me with resume request NOW! or I will make your cute little home page for jump money. BrokeWebMaker@airann.com or Flea had to go the ER Vet cause he ate some cat litter and is real sick. He has to stay over night in the hospital by himself. If I come out - by me a jump ticket. Ann@AirAnn.com or I am a computer progamer.... I am an electrician... I am a plumber... I am a truck diver..... or I can do something and I am smart every blue moon. Tell me what you need - I am desperado. I will email you my resume. Desperado@airann.com or Part time - weekdays cause I am a skydiving instrutor and its Winter. Broke4Skydiving@airann.com ********* Or even: I have a test and I am gonna flunk it in Physics. If you can help me email me and help me study at the DZ. DaddyWillKillMe-GradePointAverage@airann.com Strobe is looking for a date in the Monroe Ga area. Pyke is busy. MansMan@airann.com The anything listings: I have 9 cats -2 momma kats with a buncha kittens.

PregGF@airann.com I am a bad ass skydiver & I have a frekkin great 4 Way Team!! Looking for 3 other members. PleaseJump withMe@airann.com I am driving to Elsinore - need trip mates for gas & eating & jump money.

This is my Back.... This is my butt. Its the only thing you are going to see if you are behind me. Damn, I missed all the fun. You guys need to go sit down. (on the ground) WTF is this in here, right now?? You got lost on the way to Wreck Dot?? (rec.skydiving) We dont give out ALF numbers in here so dont even try it. (Annoying Little Fuker) REGARDING > Howzit we talk about Female Freeflyers for a second. Ok, the second is over. Now, go sit down. And put your sissors away and clean up these toys. If you want a snack pack later, you have to be good. Frekin Hell Yeah, I am a female freeflyer and I do have skills thank you, and I dont cork on my friends. Quite frankly, I dont have the luxury of corking. I have to be double good to be asked on big ways. Because of my minority status. Hello! I can do more than stand around looking cute!! But no matter, I wouldnt jump with me either until I knew for sure. I have got a dead headdown. But not on big ways yet- not that stupid. I have seen what the "wanta be's" try before they are ready and its not pretty. Endangering my friends lives or mine is a bad thing. Freeflying is a beautiful thing. But you have to be really sharp. Dont do it if you dont have it down really well and boat anchor solid. I mean it. Dont make me come over there and spank all of you! I signed the waiver and my brothers did too. But I am not going to poke my brothers eyes out on a dumb ass manover that I am not dead ass serious that I have mastered. Being in a berble bubble, happens all the time in a freefly jump, its part of the - 'deal with it skill'. I dont care what your 'body position of choice' is. You have to master the -'deal with it skill'. Ever seen a hybrid dive?? You practically live in a burperle. How do you spell... verble, berple, --the air weirdness thing, eh... who cares. .

WAIT A MINUTE........... I used to be called the Princess of the DZ. I think that counts. AND, I was on late night TV with a camera on my head LAST NIGHT. Looked a lot like my bedroom. Hang on....... Is this the global orgasm thread? Nevermind. Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

I tried that... It wasnt easy. I gave up on 'straight' RW and went to vRW after about 20 jumps total. I think the more experience you have ... well, the more experience you have! There is this big thing that FreeFlyers cant do RW at all. They can. We just dont very often... except at pull time. We go to RW stable to slow down, double check our airspace, track & pull. Especially important on BigWays. Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

Hell, I know I am a dumb ass. ....... But Paula aint no dumb ass, I know for a fact. Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

My personal favorite: having to smile and laugh at a guy who is talking to me while I vacume smoke off a ruby lazer while we operate on his chest, smoke and burning flesh and a rotten subacious cyst. A big one. How come I cant spell anymore? He asked me ... Whats that smell?... I dont remember what I said now. I made him smile, and did not tell him the truth, patients are on a need to know basis. .... But I couldnt use the room for the rest of the day....... That was a long time ago. Another time, in a farming community... (and at band camp) I could hardly get the tissue in the biopsy jar. ...... Nuthing like a farmer who wont go to the Dr. till really late in a skin cancer. Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

I have 2 digital video cameras, one for each personality..... or should I put both on one helmet? Nah, I will have the top mount Sony TRV 11, then the side mount PC7, .....hey anybody got a D Box or a bracket? Be double bad ass? Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

How did I miss this thread!! Myth: Freeflyers have something pierced Freelfyers have cameras. Freeflyers have tattoos. I got 2 outta 3, aint bad! No tattoos, cant think of anything to put there and where is there? I cant think of a place I need decoration. I got a friend with 6 penis piercings and he is real happy to show em to you. I have personally always looked the other way. I am way scared to look. I am afraid I will turn to stone. Skydive~Friends~Happiness AirAnn www.AirAnn.com

Paula>>>>>>> Get out!!! Hey, I am the only crasher and burner lowest flare alive ...... at SpLand! You arent that .... you are all skill baby! I am the accidental good lander. You so KNOW that!
