Love ballroom (American and some Int'l) and Latin. I still do competitive ballroom around this time of year, and know a couple of skydiving friends who do so as well. ~b

Just another lurker who's bored at work today

Woohoo! Im partially cheating by crabbing all the way... but by 50meters, there's a hurdle that I kicked and took a while to crawl over gonna see if I can crawl my way to 100m And made it! ... A National Hero for crawling run = 50m run2 = by 100m run3 = finished That was painful

Wow. Amazing. Imagine someone taking that shot from a bigway :) ... or any dive, really.

I actually went to Japan early this year, and yeah, even the public restrooms have these. Not only were the restrooms super clean, they also have temperature control... Heck, you can even control the temperature of the toilet seats... ~b

Saw it last weekend. Totally hilarious... especially the beginning where everyone in the movie was like .. "huh? wtf is this?" Then came "Satan's Alley" and everyone couldnt stop laughing -b

Are you sure it's not like this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go_VtqtxCHY&NR=1 I know sometimes it feels like this in mine... -b

After AFF, me and my friend followed, as best we could, the beer traditions in the DZ we go to. When I was actively jumping (it's almost been a year since my last jump ), it felt like we were the only ones bringing beer after sunset (I could be wrong). And even then, there were only a few people who would drop by. We were still thankful for those who did, especially for the instructors that we didnt really know how to thank above and beyond the regular "thanks". But I think the fondest memory of the tradition for my so far short skydiving life is when we were about to get our A license. Did our last dive, brought beer and we had a group of Air Trash drop by. Now those are some crazy, old farts ! Anyway, from a newbie's experience, it did feel a little saddening at times hearing about the beer tradition from all the stories here, and when we got to bring some, we only had a handful to show up or stay to talk to us. And for those that did, you made some lasting impressions that me and my friend still talk about today

Inmates using carrier pigeons to smuggle drugs and cell phones into the prison. http://www.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=85200&videoChannel=4 I thought that was smart. -blu

...you dont have to be lonely anymore! http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUST8462420080617?feedType=RSS&feedName=technologyNews Then again it's small, but you can turn it off! -blu

I loved the first couple of seasons of Bleach, ending with the Soul Society story arc. The Bount story arc (which isnt in the manga) felt more like a big, loooong filler. The current story arc with the Arrancar has hits and misses, but feels a bit draggy, although it's getting better now... I still havent seen Evangelion, nor got into any of the Gundams, but am willing to give it a chance. I mostly watch the comedy/drama ones as well. I heard True Tears was good. And I have yet to catch a couple of recommended shows like Death Note and DGrayman.

Animes: Action: Bleach Cowboy Bebop Comedy + Drama/Romance: Fruits Basket Kanon (2006 version) Clannad Azumanga Daioh Movies: Spirited Away and any Miyazaki film/Ghibli Studio :)

Maybe breaking the one or all the gears IS the goal...

http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSN0959912720080109?feedType=RSS&feedName=oddlyEnoughNews "WARSAW (Reuters) - A Polish man got the shock of his life when he visited a brothel and spotted his wife among the establishment's employees. Polish tabloid Super Express said the woman had been making some extra money on the side while telling her husband she worked at a store in a nearby town. "I was dumfounded. I thought I was dreaming," the husband told the newspaper Wednesday. The couple, married for 14 years, are now divorcing, the newspaper reported."
