  1. actually now that I think about it perhaps sheep brothers could be taken the wrong way. I wouldn't want anyone to think that we New Zealanders were too "friendly" with our sheep.

  2. a sheep would be nice and easy to hang on to in free fall. maybe I'll give it a try. Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. George Bernard Shaw

  4. I have seen several people mention that this man planned and caried it out in a deliberate "cold blooded way". Does this mean that suicide is a "hot blooded" thing that happens on the spur of the moment? No, this is rarely the case. As many of us know severe depression is related to chemical imbalances in the brain (this is why it can be treated with medication and sometimes therapy is not effective). Why choose skydiving and "tarnish" our sport? Maybe it was the only way he could feel comfortable. Some people feel comfortable with sleeping pills, others with firearms. Seems natural (as natural as this can get) to me that a skydiver would want to go out this way. This mans reality was severely warped during the days/weeks/whatever that he made this decision. Can any of us really imagine feeling sad/unhappy/unloved/useless/hated/etc all the time?? No wonder then that we are having so much trouble understanding why he did it. I don't think we should try to understand because every suicide is a tragedy, however it is commited. I am not condoning or condemning this man's actions just adding my view in the hope that someone will find it helpfull.

  5. Does anyone know if there are any Freak Brothers in little old New Zealand??? Or am I gonna have to travel somewhere else to get initiated Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. George Bernard Shaw
  6. I have recently started relative work. I wasn't aware that skydiving could get so much more fun. Hell I was having a blast all by myself!!! sharing the sky with another person kicks serious ass. I can now imagine a life without skydiving as much as I can imagine a life without food. apologies for getting all cheesy and newbie in here but I need to vent it somewhere. HAHAHA!
