Wow, you just said BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE! Haha! (gives you $20 for being corny)
Jesus Huckaboo Christ! Please stop suggesting that I "try skydiving" here... all this adrenalin junkie stuff has been done! God, my knees sound like somebody snapping 2x4s on a rainy day. I was a paratrooper for the Ahh-Me.
I have jumped out of four times as many planes as I have landed with in the last four years... with a machine gun on my leg, 100 pounds on my back, walking through a door at 1000 feet into the pitch black darkness. I have no issues with bravery or trying new things. Trust me. Planes, choppers, onto rock hard runways, into freezing water, 100 degree days, 30 degree nights, rainstorms, Hallmark card sunshine... I don't even get a reaction to most of these activities anymore, I just do them without getting any kinda reward rush. I feel cheated when I go to Six Flags and the coaster only does 75!
I've learned to appreciate my life. More so than most. I just spent the entire year of 2006 not living it, instead playing watch dog and den mother to a bunch of teenagers with automatic weapons. I just don't want to appreciate it alone. Life is too short to spend alone. I suppose I'm just cranky.
Synopsis: I just generally hate women right now. I hope it goes away. Turns out: Divorces suck. Being a civilian takes getting used to more so than I thought.
(heads off to enjoy a Rogue Deadguy beer)
