I ran today! _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

I'll give you a platinum collar job, baby... _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Are you serious? If so, why in God's name would you be telling people about that? I'd be trying to figure out a way to disown my father... Or getting him arrested. You're not serious, right? _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

DUDE: GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD. I JUST blogged about that. http://prdifferently.typepad.com/my_weblog/2006/09/memo_launching_.html Seriously. Stop doing that. You're heavy. You're giving me a stiff neck. Edited to add that while I love the ad, from a pr perspective, it's not a good thing. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

I realised I was dyslexic when I went to a toga party dressed as a goat. Cats have nine lives. Which makes them ideal for experimentation. My dad is Irish and my mum is Iranian, which meant that we spent most of our family holidays in Customs. You have to remember all the trivia that your girlfriend tells you, because eventually you get tested. She'll go: "What's my favourite flower?" And you murmur to yourself: "Hell, I wasn't listening. Self-raising?" I saw that show, 50 Things To Do Before You Die. I would have thought the obvious one was "Shout For Help". 'Employee of the month' is a good example of how somebody can be both a winner and a loser at the same time. I like to go into the Body Shop and shout out really loud "I've already got one!" I enjoy using the technique of self-deprecation - but I'm not very good at it. If you're being chased by a police dog, try not to go through a tunnel, then on to a little seesaw, then jump through a hoop of fire. They're trained for that. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

You were one of those passengers that always said "Hello" to me when I was an Air Marshal weren't you? I never got on a first name basis or anything but there was certainly face recognition. That was you?! My favorite Air Marshal story was talking to someone sitting next to me (one of the reasons I came up with AirTroductions) and I asked what he did for a living, his response came too quick, "private security." At which point, he offered nothing more, and I questioned nothing more. I spent the rest of the flight reflecting on the fact that I was sitting next to a guy with a gun. Cool. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

I don't know what you said, but I doubt you said it out of malice - that said, no apology needed - just forget about it. And hey - if a free trip somewhere will help you get over your bad day, just PM me - I'm happy to give you the miles - wanna go someplace warm? That's usually what I do with my miles - Last thing I wanna do is use them myself, so they're usually birthday/anniversary/wedding gifts. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

Best story: Continental sent me a letter in 2004, congratulating me on being their X most frequent flier of the year. I showed it to the woman who I was dating at the time. She looked at it, read it, handed it back and said, "Peter, this says 'get a life.' " She was right. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

2Fat got me curious. I'll start. NW might come in and kick my ass... Let's see... (All for 06/07) Continental: Platinum Starwood: Platinum Hilton: Diamond VIP Hyatt: Diamond Avis: Chairman's Preferred US Scare: Gold Continental gets me upgrades, as does Starwood and Hilton. Avis gets me upgrades, but usually into a Lincoln Towncar or something, which makes me feel like I should be having dinner at 4:30pm. US Scare doesn't give me shit.

I'm a software developer. Does that make me white collar? You will meet all different types of people across society in this sport. Professionals make up a large portion of "fun" jumpers since they have the money to play in such an expensive sport. But rest assured you will meet many many different types of people. White collar is just one of the types you will meet. Let me try and be clear - I'm not differentiating any specific types of skydivers as better than others. I'm just asking if anyone else has noticed an increase in the number of bankers, finance guys, etc. at their dropzone. It's for a question I had with a friend. Sheesh! You'd think I told the white collar guys to get in the ovens!! _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Will she get to stab me through the heart with her tail? _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Agree. I love explaining to non-skydiving friends that one of the things I love the most is that I can get up in the morning, leave my apartment with running water, go to the drop zone, hang out with people who may or may not have (or care) about running water then come home at night to it again. I can exist on two planes. It's cool. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Good question - I guess I define white collar as IT, or banking/finance, advertising/marketing, etc... As opposed to non-white collar - police/military, construction, etc. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

All: Was talking to a friend, and I mentioned that it seems like in the past six months or so, I've been jumping with more white collar people, in addition to everyone else. Seems like lotsa Morgan Stanley types are driving up from NYC, jumping, then driving home. Anyone else noticed this, or am I just losing it? And if so, are you a "white collar jumper?" -Peter _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Goonies? Chris Coming to America: Eddie Murphy as the barber, after being told he was lying about meeting Dr. Martin Luther King, looking around at all the people in his shop: "Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you.

Name the movie: "Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you. Who next?" _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Nah, I totally will. I'd run Badwater not for time, but to NOT DIE. :) _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

What about that Death Valley one...Badwater is it? Like 120 miles at 120 degree heat or something. Badwater... One day... One day... _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

I used to hide hotdogs behind the microwave because my Mom would say that shit. Funny they are one of my favorites now My mom used to say: "Peter, don't give the cat a spinal tap." "Peter, go catch your grandmother!" (Said as I let her wheelchair go down a hill with her in it. I caught her.) "Peter, take the rubber eye off the dog's forehead." "Peter, I see you. Stop hiding in the washing machine." You get the idea... The woman (and my dad, by default) both qualify for Sainthood. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

About five months ago, Icon introduced me (unknowingly) to Linkin Park. iTunes finally released their music for download. Got my running song tomorrow morning - (Breaking the Habit.) Woo! I'm psyched. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

THIS is a short documentary about my life. You wish! Weird Al rocks, though. Weird Al so TOTALLY rocks. I remember being at Comdex when he filmed "It's All About the Pentiums." My GOD, that was a fun party. :) Can't wait for the new album!! _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

A geek is less derogatory than a nerd. Geek is considered intelligent to a point of success - so his social shortcomings are muted down by the fact that he's very successful. A nerd doesn't have the success, therefore, his shortcomings are played up. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

I'd be afraid. What if it bit down? _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

I hate to sound like that guy we all hate, but I'll risk it in this instance. If you want to make the time for it, you will. It really is that simple. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
