Re: [ukmarkj] Outlook on life
So in a year you haven't been able to get 25 jumps in for your license because you're too much of a dickhead that you don't get along with people?

Re: [ukmarkj] Outlook on life
Im pretty sure all your issues stem from an unfufilled desire to be triple penetrated in the ass by two black guys and a miniture horse while your mom shoots breast milk onto your face.

You scare no one. The only thing people are truly afriad of is waking up duct taped to a chair with you sucking them off and humming along to a Mrs Mills soundtrack.

And fuck your wealthy family. They obviously weren't wealthy enough to buy a kid that wasnt a complete fucktard.

So after graduating with a 2:2 in chemical engineering, I have absolutely no inclination to start a 9-5 job, I would like to live life at the edge of society - free, I would like to be a skydiving instructor feeding off first time skydivers happiness and of course yes - I want to start BASE jumping - as safely as possible, absolutely not be ignorant of any of the risks and try not be a reckless fool.

The problem is that if you want to be a skydiving instructor, it IS a real job and you will not "live life at the edge of society" and be "free". If you want to be "live life at the edge of society" and be totally "free", I suggest career as hardocre heroin addict living on the street and exchanging sexual favours for your daily dose. You will be totally on the "edge of society", you will be seriously addicted and also you will see your friends die, very much like in base jumping. Without the need of actually working and having some ties to organised society.

Re: [ukmarkj] Outlook on life
Russian roulette should do the trick. If you really want a career skydiving or base jumping, stop crying about your problems to a bunch of guys that dont give a shit; Go out and keep jumping. Ask your wealthy family to buy your jumps if need be, nobody cares. Or have them buy you a gun and a bullet, or have them pay for you doctors visit so you can get on the meds you need to be on, you obviously have something wrong. If you have a problem getting along with skydivers you will have problems getting along with base jumpers, the common denominator is YOU. So before you do anything else, stop talking, start jumping, geez. Good luck, and I mean that

Re: [ukmarkj] Outlook on life
I had a hard time growing up too. I never felt like I fit in. I felt numb, under-stimulated, and unfulfilled. I eventually found satisfaction through jumping and now through science as well. But, there is a key difference between you and me and it's one that you need to understand.

You will never feel fulfilled if you don't work for anything. I did not grow up in a wealthy family. If I wanted to do something, I had to work for it. I put in the hours, got the grades, the scholarships, the degrees, the 9-5 job. I busted my ass to get where I am and that is in large part what changed my life. It made me a more well rounded person. I feel that I can accomplish anything I want to.

I love my job because it allows me to challenge myself intellectually in the field of computer science / pattern recognition. I skydive or BASE jump every weekend. I love taking a big wingsuit out and surfing big puffies for minutes at a time.

I didn't just one day become happy and fulfilled. It came after years of ambition, dedication, and seasoning. Make a set of rules to live by and follow them. Have a plan. Do what you enjoy and try not to kill yourself in the process. Be very cognizant of the line where your skill runs out. It's critical to recognize it and respect it. Everyone makes mistakes.

Re: [ukmarkj] Outlook on life
I am guessing from you name you are living in the UK?

If so and you are half as wealthy as you say, let me know your weight and I will find a 2nd hand rig that will be a good size for you, (I would lend you one of mine but I don't know how your canopy handling skills are).
I will take you to an easy antenna and PCA you then if that goes well I will take you to a cliff where you can do a free fall. PM me if you are interested in my offer. All I need to know is where you live and how much you weigh, leave the rest to me.

Re: [PAINTitBLACK] Whoa
I am ~Tom aka GreenMachine.

Greeny is a very skilled guy who
was living on the west coast for
a while who had modified gear
for very low jumps.

The fine print says one must have a
10 to 1 ratio or better. Friday I made
my 300th BASE jump solo. So I am
okay for now, plus 300-400 of those
posts were made at dorkzone and
just got carried over when the sites
split into two seperate entities.

I am going to ask it, are you being serious?
Shortcut
Re: [DAVE858] Outlook on life
110% serious.
but he has PM'd to say he is good to go on his own, and when he is proficient he will let me know and we can go jump together.
Shortcut
Re: [jools] Outlook on life
So not even a licensed skydiver, declines instruction, & possibly has a personality disorder... Glad he is not in my area. Good on you for offering to take him under your wing. I Hope he doesn't burn anything or himself.

Nothing special mate, just Relativity is an incomplete theory Wink
Shortcut
Re: [Oink] Outlook on life
Relatively is hardly incomplete. The results from CERN regarding the speed of light being an absolute limit are still being scrutinized. Relativity is one of the most tested theories ever and the CERN results are the first hint that the speed of light may not be a limit, at least for neutrinos.

You can't claim to be a vegan and be like 'well tuna fishes aren't really animals right?'.

sure does. until it becomes such a heavy addiction that it overpowers the will to ever get up off your couch and leave your apartment, eventually isolating you into a complete vampire-like state, cutting you off completely from society, and human-interaction, while at the same time clogging your home computer with dangerous trojans/viruses and filling up an entire 1TB hard drive..........
