I live in one of the better parts of town. I should've taken a taxi or done like everybody else here and taken my truck even knowing that we were having a few beers. I got nuthin

Thanks Lou...Are you talking about the guys in Flandes? I've talked to them before but they don't jump every weekend and it's always worked out that when I get a free weekend in Bogota they're not jumping. I've heard their place is really nice though. I got nuthin

This turned out pretty long and rantish, just need to vent I live in a pretty shitty town and had been told since I got here not to walk the streets at night, but walking always calms me down and I've always said I won't live here and be scared to leave my house. So last night I left the house of some friends and was walking home. About 500 meters from my apartment I noticed two guys walking a good distance behind me. Just before I turned the last corner onto my street I looked and they weren't there(they must have been hiding in the entrance to a house) so I relaxed a little. About 50ft after I turned the corner I got a thump on the back of the head and I was down. I got a few boots to the head and ribs; one was holding my feet and the other had his feet on either side of my head. I tried punching and kicking and then remembered the security guard who's always at the clinic a few hundred feet away and started screaming for help. The guys took off with my phone and my ciggarettes and left my glasses mangled and covered with my blood. I've got some sore ribs, a black eye and a couple cuts and bruises on my face and legs. At least they didn't get my wallet. I got to my apartment and went to bed. This morning I called my phone and some woman answers and says that she bought it last night and then hung up, now she's not answering. The thing that pisses me off is that in my work the IT department handles the company phones and since I arrived here two weeks ago I've been fighting with the lazy motherfucker in IT to get a phone. He finally gets me one on Friday, then Saturday night it's stolen. I almost quit a few months ago because this town is fucking awful and I wanted out. They sent me on a project in Argentina for 3 months but things really went to shit here when I was gone and they called me back to clean up the mess. It was nice to get a heartfelt 'come back we need you' but after two weeks I'm already sick of this place in the worst kind of way. I've got 3 more weeks here and then I'm going to Colombia for a stint but as long as I'm under Latin American operations I'm going to be Venezuela's bitch because they treat their Venezuelan employees like shit and as soon as I get somebody trained they fuck off to the competition. I like the money here but the lifestyle doesn't allow much skydiving and Skydive Venezuela is on the other side of the country. If I stick this out for a while longer I'll get a nice job in Texas and get back to being a skydiver again instead of being a wireliner who hauls a parachute all over South America and occasionally finds a dropzone for a day or two. If I quit I'll probably have to move back to Canada but it's COLD there! I don't know WTF to do with my life!!! I got nuthin

When I was in college I worked nights at an indoor go-kart track. It was a great job at the time. When we closed up at night we'd go out back, smoke a doobie and then rip the track with the lights off. I got nuthin

Polar? Nacional? Solera Azul I got nuthin

The outside world scares me I got nuthin

Started out very badly, at midnight I was in a taxi to the shittiest town in Venezuela which I left three months ago and swore I would never come back. But at least the beer here is still good

I remember Gold Coast Skydivers in Mississippi had a 'big boy' rig especially for students in your situation. That was 4 years ago, but you might want to call them or, as suggested above, call around or visit your local DZs and see what they say. Good luck and Blue Skies! I got nuthin

Bunny's reaction to 'Two chicks one cup" I got nuthin

Next time just open the window and whip it out, less chance of anal rapeage from a sprinkler I got nuthin

I've never been to anywhere besides Skydive AZ, but they've got a good school there and the vibe is GREAT. I don't think it's 'too big for students'. They'll just have to learn more about keeping their head on a swivel right off the bat, as opposed to a smaller DZ. I got nuthin

Nice Karma

I'm in Argentina. They celebrate at midnight on the 24th here. We broke it in last night with 4 or 5 bottles of good scotch and at the stroke of midnight the fireworks came from every house in the city! It was like frick'n Normandy!!! There's 5 of us here working without family and a Venezelan friend took us in for the night, it was a great time. I got nuthin

From the story linked at the start of this thread: Who knows what'll happen, but if Corliss is gonna be the first to do it, it sounds like he's thinking of doing it there. I got nuthin

I imagine there will be some type of waiver involved...If I understand correctly he's planning to do this with a BASE rig which would be illegal under normal circumstances. It's gonna be some cool-ass shite for sure. Hope they get the $$$ to get it going! I got nuthin

This happened in Canada years ago, one of the guys busted up his arm pretty bad when he hit the car, but he's still jumping and has made thousands of jumps since the acccident. I was logged into my work VPN when I tried to access that the first time and it was blocked by the company's filtering because it's 'tasteless'.. I got nuthin

Thanks for posting that man. Just Fucking Awesome!!! I got nuthin

You could always give them to homeless people who are longing for the Christmas dinners they used to have. To simulate the day after Christmas, just mix the bottom 1/5 of every bottle together in a big bowl I got nuthin

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Man Lutz again?!?!?!?!? I got nuthin

I usually agree w/ you. That statement is absolutely false. I'm living proof. And I didn't even go to NA. Now if I could just quit smoking... I don't think Amazon was saying there's no hope for change but rather that if nobody steps in and gives a wakeup call it's probably not going to happen. I got nuthin

Excuse me, I think I just vomited in my throat a little bit I got nuthin

I am opposite - camera work was sub-par, but the students rocked! Great jump on the students part... I've never jumped with a camera on my head so I'm in no position to criticize, but I thought it was kinda sketchy too I got nuthin

Need a cameraman? I got nuthin

She may look normal on the outside, but she LIVES IN A VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!!!!!! I got nuthin

Three out of four of those things are screaming for peanut butter! Or Chees Whiz, Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I got nuthin
