It's done and it's booooootiful. Now I don't have to turn my camera on when we're still two minutes out and make someone check my red light. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

I like the NPR music that they play. Lots of Bela Fleck and Nickel Creek.. (among many others) "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Errr... Now I'm having trouble drilling the 1/2' hole. The drill bit keeps getting stuck and I think the battery is dying on the drill. Grrr... I want my cam-eye up and running!! Edited to add: and with my eye-hole bleeding and all.. this is really a chore. I stuck a maxi-pad to my cheek though and that is helping.

Hmm... you make a good point. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Fucking a.... now you tell me! If I'm bleeding out of my eye socket, do I really need to go see a doctor? "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Didn't look quite so nice following major knee surgery and an extended affair with the couch.. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

I've officially lost about 15-18 pounds and feel great. There are just a couple more pounds I'd like to shave off just to increase my fall rate range and cause any little bit will help my weak knee. Overall though.. I feel good about the way I look and feel. I never posted pictures initially.. but I've been taking them.. I like comparing my weekly picture to the original in a side-by-side comparison.. really shows me how far I've come!

Has skydiving lost the "hippy" vibe?

I don't smell... and my hair isn't normally messy/nappy.. I was just stoned and goofing off in my avatar picture.. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham -
Awww... that is so sweet. But... I have a crapload of work to do tonight to try to make the sponsor of my thesis think that I've actually been doing something when we meet tomorrow. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Hey!! Tie-dye is hot!!! I try to wear at least two pieces of non-matching tie-dye each time I jump. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham -
$104,900? Schweeeet. That's in my price range. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

That picture is really quite sad. If I were sitting next to you on the plane there is no way that I would let you get away with that. Tell the truth.. have you used your blackberry under canopy? "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Are you talking about the package of anal beads on your table? Don't be ashamed. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

You're going to have one gorgeous kitchen when you get done! "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

182!! I still bet that atleast half of my jumps are out of 182's despite the fact that I have been at turbine DZ's for the past 5 years. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

I may leave someday to someplace like Canada or New Zealand.. but until I complete my education I would like to try to convince people like you to see the light of rational thought. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

You and your gun toting cronies are useless. Thanks for ruining the country. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

I think that setting up more roadblocks to criminals who are trying to acquire weapons for violent purposes is in the best interest of everyone. I never said that it would prevent all future gun violence.. but it can't hurt. However.. allowing more people to carry guns is just some insane solution to a major problem of violence in our society.. which I'm sure stems in large part due to the so tightly held beliefs of people like you. And whoever suggested I move out of this country.. I would love to. I would love to go somewhere where people appreciate the fact that more guns does not equate to a safer society.

No... it doesn't fail at all. Just like in outlawing guns all together you won't prevent all future acts of violence.. you will however be able to decrease the likelihood of violent shootings from occurring. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

How many college kids do you think would choose to carry a concealed weapon to class? Probably not too many. At least, not enough to assure that whenever shootings break out there will be armed students to take down the gunman. Arming people is no solution to the problem of violence in our society. That would actually be going backwards. I stand by my previous comment that trying to get more people to carry guns in prevention of massacres is like trying to get more people to do 270's to prevent canopy collisions. It almost makes a bit of sense.. until you think about it logically. You should try that sometime. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham
-
Arming the entire country is not the solution to protect people from crazy gunmen. That's like saying that to prevent canopy collisions caused by people doing 270's that everyone should start doing 270's. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Umm... you quote what.. the constitution.. and it disagrees with me.. so I lose? I don't consider any document sacred. Everything can be debated. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham
