  1. Better than Ritalin for controlling ADHD. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

  3. It was a shot of her HIPS. As in, they SWING. Jesus. Mind... Out of Gutter.... _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  4. (Alternate title: One day, I'm going to invite her to do something that I'm great at, and at which SHE sucks. You know, just for the change of pace.) Sigh. Anyhow, she dances really well. I, you should know, watch really well. I took the beginner's class, and when it ended, came out to find her dancing. Watched her for a minute. She came over and asked me to dance. Imagine, if you will.. Tiger Woods comes over to you and says "So, wanna play for a thousand a hole?" Or... Kerri Strugg sees you in the gym one evening - "Hey, show me whatcha got on the floor!" Or... Stephen Hawking stops by your apartment, rolls in and says, "come on, bitch. MATH THIS." Yeah. I took nice pictures and videos. I'm good at that. I'm reminded of a few months ago at Z-Hills, where the beautiful Kelly invited me to funnel a six-way. Actually, she invited me to JOIN a six-way. The funneling of it was stictly my idea. One day I'll figure out something I'm good at and she's not. Then the tables will turn. Oh, how they'll turn. I'm waiting for her to email me one day and say "Hey, Peter, let's go guard the coast! It's not hard!" Sigh. Videos of HER dancing here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4507943394452589984 and here http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3596487721913637060 Oh - added bonus... I seem to have gained the yet ADDITIONAL weight she's apparently lost. Well now... This has been quite the uplifting evening. Perhaps I'll walk down to the bay and look for bodies. And no... I'm not totally serious about any of the above. At least, I'm not gonna go look for bodies. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  5. That's kind of the thought I'm getting. It's again, MSN (massive social networking) as opposed to NSN (niche social networking.) I joined because I have another company idea rolling around in my head. I'm testing it to see if my theories prove out. :D _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

  6. Anyone from DZ.C on Twitter? Obviously not, as I was able to secure the name "skydiver" Join up and add me - http://twitter.com/skydiver Just another time waster... But one of some interest. Still a toy, but an interesting one. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

  8. I did go to High School of Performing Arts. I have rythym. I've just never tried. That's all.
  9. 0:1:Beer First landing at a new airport - due to it being too wet at the Ranch. Cool stuff! _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  10. I suppose it might help if I attached the picture. Me=Dumbass. Photo this time: Proving I work too much. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

  13. Been there a ton - Tokyo/Narita/All of it is really beautiful - But I've been out of the country for a week on biz... I just wanna go home and smoosh my cats. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  14. As SkyMama can attest, any cool jumper who can put up with my overweight cats are always welcome at my apartment in Manhattan. Equidistant from the Ranch and Skydive Sussex. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  15. Sitting in Norita Airport, Tokyo, delayed. Why? Because there were mechanical issues with CO Flight Six, going from Norita to Houston. But Peter! You don't live in Houston! What does the Houston flight 6 have to do with your flight 8? Easy: Houston is a bigger hub for Continental than Newark. So the powers that be in Norita simply decided (per standard operating procedure, I'm sure,) to give the Houston passengers our plane, and make the Newark passengers sit on their asses until they can (hopefully) fix the Houston (now Newark) plane. So at 4:54pm Tokyo time (3:54am New York time) I sit here, knowing that even if we DO get out of here, I've still got 13 hours of flying ahead of me. Oh, happy day. I should add that there are several cool people I personally know who live in Houston. so obviously, I'm more pissed at Continental than at Houston as an entity. But that won't stop me from bitching about it. :) _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  16. That's the update that I'm talking about! that's why I'm excited!! _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

    Skype??

    geekfactory on Skype. Live and die by it when I'm overseas, which is way too often. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  18. I was just posting how it went. Nutshell? "Ugh." I ran 24:29 - or 7:53's. It was 94 degrees at the start of the race. In an outdoor stadium. Had I run in NYC that time in a 5k, I would have finished somewhere in the 55th or so percentile, with 55% of the people coming in after me. Sadly, this was Singapore. Where the entire race was made up of 15 people. 13 of whom were a shitload faster than me. The winner ran something like 6 minute miles. I, needless to say, did not. But I didn't finish last. 13 of the people ran competitively. I was the oldest runner in that race (at a dinosaurific 34,) sans 1 other person who was like, three days older than me, or something. Being the last meet of the day, I was actually worried that if I WAS last, they'd turn off the lights and leave the stadium before I finished. 7:53's... Eh. I'm not too thrilled with that. I know I can be faster. 20 pounds less, and I'd be running 7:15's. It's basic physics. Feh. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  19. Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends. Very sad day, indeed. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  20. Sitting in the stands, waiting my turn to run a 5000m (5k) race in some province about 40 minutes outside of downtown singapore. I'm definitely the oldest runner here by a long shot. Most of them look high school. Its an allcomers meet, which means anyone can run. Or, in my case, realy good runners can run, and then, I can, too. But the race fee was about $3.00 US. How could I not enter it? This is all Google's fault for showing this as a result when I typed in "race run singapore" last week. I'm so gonna come in last. Oh well. My race is the last race of the day. Perhaps all the spectators will have gone home. Oh, and its 97 degrees farenheit here. And the track is outdoors. It was cloudy all day. Now the sun is out and beating down. Who does this to themselves? Lovely. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
  21. 1) Happy Anniversary, Charlie Brown. Has all the greats, a wonderful bit of jazz combo. 2) New York Voices debut album, called simply, "New York Voices." 3) Send me an address, and I'll burn you a copy (because its out of print) of Vocal Jazz Incorporated's debut album. Not only are the harmonies immeasurable, but the album earned my dad a grammy nomination back in 1978. :-) _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

  22. End result: She had cash, she used that cash to advance her abilities in the sport. (more cash=more jumps available to make = ability to fund her team.) More power to her. Sounds like a lot of the bitching here is more petty jealousy than anything else. You want more cash? Work harder to get it. Go, Natasha. Well done. Notice also that every SotY previous wasn't a multi-millionaire, or whatever. How come we're picking on her specifically? _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

  23. Assuming you don't live in a city, the 305 is a great unit. If you do, it's pointless. I get reception on maybe 2 miles of the 6 in central park. But if you're running out in the countryside or somewhere outside of a main city, you'll love it. Totally accurate. Spring for the HRM. Worth it. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

  24. I have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't just order one or anything. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
