What's your burning passion?
« on: July 29, 2004, 10:35:36 AM »
Sitting here looking at my bank account. The Russia trip has put me $3000 in the red, in addition to a $4300 old old loan.

Still, I'm probably gonna need more money.

My big passion is pretty well known - I like to skydive. I do not own a car. Have never been able to afford getting a driver's license. Live in a 1 room flat (very nice btw). No girlfriend, no real non skydiving friends (anymore). My computer is an old P3 1Ghz, and I'm supposedly a computer geek.

All my money and most of my spare time go to skydiving and I really cannot see another way to live. My social scene is a male dominated one, my close friends either skydivers or BASE jumpers, or both. Everything else seems secondary to having fun with these guys, and I have a hard time taking my job, authorities, money, relationships and all such things that appear to matter to others seriously. Gone from being a pseudo-intellectual to a DZ bum. If it wasn't a good life, I'd worry about myself.

There's a hardcore group at my DZ who live similar lives. Outside skydiving I haven't met any, but then again, I don't meet many people ;).

Since AH is one of the few things aside from skydiving I find entertaining and since I'm still part of this community, I feel that I can ask you bastards if you got something that does the same things to you, or if you've had.

Spit it out, you bastards. :D

Open prairie, Labradors, good boots and a fine o/u shotgun.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!
