Stupid. I have to agree, that was a hugely incoherent article. It was very coherent. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

I am now looking more into paramedic training. I have a friend who is EMS here and he assures me that my age is no issue with that. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

Australian Parachute Federation - "Cutaway"
NorrinRadd replied to Quagmirian's topic in Safety and Training
I just discovered these.. I love it! Gotta like them Australians! Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy? -
Doh! I did a search on APF... I should have tried Australian and Cutaway... Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

Woot! Just found these. APF's EP video for free from their youtube channel. Nice summary! Of course, still cannot replace training by a qualified instructor, but for newbies like me, great stuff to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTYsjH7DSVA&list=PLKyOh3Inpe4eZH9FFpeKihy-mtZxeAVTG Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

I'm so glad to know that you didn't understand this, either. Something about cigarettes and people. Sometimes, I wonder if people are rambling speech into a recording device that translates it (poorly) to text and posts on these forums. Ramble vs style. Sometimes folks write in the way that best reflects the way they wish to express themselves, rather than making it easy to understand. No compromise towards the needs of the reader... just a recognition that they may not be understood, and a delight when they find someone who does. Strange to see in this day of constant, direct language messaging and emails. Read James Joyce or Shakespeare. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

Ashleigh Beacham, 15 year old, swam 52 km, or about 32 miles, for charity, across Lake Ontario. Damn... I am impressed... http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/08/19/ashleigh-beacham-lake-ontario-swim_n_3780428.html Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

This is why I like the tandem progression that they teach at my DZ... two tandems with the instructor teaching you about these things, right there with you, ready to help if needed. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

Negative reactions to the sport
NorrinRadd replied to NorrinRadd's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Over the weekend I received my very first truly negative comment about my interest in diving into the sky. So far most of the opinions have been either they think it is great and tell me they have always wanted to try it, or that they have no interest in it, and think it is a little crazy. But this time I actually had someone tear into me telling me how I am obviously effing crazy and how stupid I was. I obviously don't really care about their opinion on the matter, and this person was not a terribly close friend anyways. But still, it was a little shocking... caught me off guard. Do you folks ever get these? Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy? -
Honestly I am kinda surprised companies like Frito Lay and McDonalds haven't thrown all their weight behind legalization. It could only benefit them. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

Next time someone suggests a naked jump, show them this...
NorrinRadd replied to SEREJumper's topic in The Bonfire
Naked night jumps? So you like it with the lights off? Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy? -
I agree with this. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

How wonderful that no power or responsible orgnaization or body is willing to step up to the plate to smack this situation down. (/sarcasm) Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

I'll be honest, I didn't see it, and I didn't ask too many questions. I was just there to buy a tailgate to replace one that was damaged. From his somewhat legal-ish scrapyard. But I imagine that they set it up so it would not be too damaged, otherwise no sale. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

I used to know a guy who knew a guy who had about 300 acres of property. About half of that property was his own personal vehicle junkyard. The other half he had a big backhoe, and would dig up huge pits. Someone would steal a rig, drive it into the pit, they would cover it up, and a year or so later, when the heat was off, dig it back up, clean it up and resell it. They had a Cessna Skyhawk buried in there too.. same purpose. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

Reading Bible aloud outside DMV wasn't illegal, judge rules
NorrinRadd replied to rushmc's topic in Speakers Corner
I work in the core downtown of a big city, and we have about ten guys reading bibles and calling us all sinners within a 5 block area. Rain or shine, they are out there. In a way I admire their stubbornness. Or fanaticism. Either way, I would not say they preach to a captive audience. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy? -
