ACMESkydiver 0 #1 December 6, 2003 I'm sitting here in a stupid office in my husband's reserve unit on Ft. Lawson bored out of my skull (had to come with him to get a new ID card), and I'm on Dropzone.com. Thinking about skydiving (in 10 minutes yea!!So if i didn't skydive, what would I do? What would I be thinking of? I can't remember what occupied the lil' corners of my mind before I started jumping. Now that I'm obsessed, what else is there to do?? What do you do if you're not skydiving or thinking about it?~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if i didn't skydive, what would I do? What would I be thinking of? I can't remember what occupied the lil' corners of my mind before I started jumping. Now that I'm obsessed, what else is there to do?? What do you do if you're not skydiving or thinking about it? that's a damn good question, i have neve not been exposed to skydiving, i've grown up around it. i mean when you dad owned a dz since you were a very small kid, all you ever really think about is wanting to make a skydive and then when you finally do, you think about what you're going to do on you next jump or what you could do. so i really don't know what i would be thinking about, more than likely something like an "extreme" sport of some kind. i'm sure i would of found some other exciting hobby and would just be thinking about that. i know a few jumpers that started jumping and would think, man what did i used to do on weekends before i started jumping. later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dropoutdave 0 #4 December 7, 2003 I only started skydiving about a year and a half ago and I haven't got a clue what used to occupy my mind. I must have thought of something in all those years?! ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GravityGirl 0 #11 December 7, 2003 Here is my problem. I haven't had a real job inover 8 years. I skydive for a living. So I never wondered. Then I started waning on my skydiving craving. Now I have a real job and I remember what I am missing. What is up with that? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumprunner 0 #15 December 7, 2003 QuoteHere is my problem. I haven't had a real job inover 8 years. I skydive for a living. Ahh, no, actually that IS a real job, the corporate life is the bullshit job and Ive been through enough of it to finally realize that. See, youre actually doing something productive, and something for yourself instead of being a burnout who has nothing better to do than make someone else rich. I guess Ill always have a hard time letting go of money so Im looking for my next bullshit job, but what you do warrants a lot of respect cause youre in a high end sport and making a living at it. Not too many people can do that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unstable 8 #16 December 7, 2003 When I'm not jumping I'm usually THinking about jumping, or a multitude of Skydiving topics. Sometimes I play in the Universities Orchestra and Jazz Ensembles - But I'm usually thinking about Skydiving then too. =========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrAvalanche 0 #21 December 7, 2003 I used to play soccer a lot, but when you use 6 days a week on training and matches, you only have one day where you can skydive (that is if your lucky with the weather)...So I dropped soccer.

I'm thinking about skydiving, or how to make more $$ for skydiving, or working and looking forward to the next time I'll skydive, or sitting around the house thinking about jumping, or working in the garage thinking about how I'd rather be at the DZ.
