Christians are fucking nutty.

Cristina Ricci for obvious reasons.

Favorite bands? Albums? Songs? Genres? I'm a metalhead at heart, but also enjoy classic rock, jazz, classical, and all sorts of other stuff. Megadeth is my favorite band (I have lyrics of theirs tattooed on me), I met the guys back in 2004. It was one of the best times of my life, they are pure class. I've seen em 4 times! They've been a huge inspiration for me, and because of them I pursued and obtained a B.A. in music.

Well, Megadeth has been my favorite band since I was about 13. Long story short, they arent only my favorite band but have been a big inspiration to me in life and helped me deal with the hardest times. Even got to meet them once, very cool dudes! But anyways, I was looking up Megadeth videos and things of that nature, and I caught a special of them on MTV from back in 93? I think. They were going skydiving, which the frontman was very fond of. Watching them do it just seemed amazing, I knew from that moment it was something I HAD to do at some point in my life. Fast forward a couple years, and my old college buds and I were going to meet up for our semiannual get together. Usually we just go out to the bar, but one of us lived about 5 mins up the road from a drop zone. So out of nowhere we decided to do it! I absolutely fell in love with it and cant wait to go again!

The only kind of girl I can be with these days is the independant type. She needs to be her own individual and understand that I am too.

The dorm room essentials for me? Sex and beer.

Everything went smooth, I wasnt as nervous as I thought I would be! The instructor went through the safety training rather quickly, but it was easy enough to understand. He was cracking jokes the whole time which certainly made it a lot easier to be relaxed. It was such a great experience, I can see myself doing it again sometime soon!

I am new to this forum, but am glad to see so many people interested in reaching out to those depressed. I have been struggling with depression well, since about 14 or 15. It's something that's always been there though, but 15 was when I got incredibly suicidal. I have been on and off multiple anti depressants and see more doctors, therapists, consolers, psychiatrics, etc. than I can count. When I got a little older, I learned a little bit of how to deal with it better myself. Until last year when my fiance broke up with me and a couple weeks after that someone very close to me passed away. I fell apart at the seams. I began drinking excessively, every day. I couldnt even drink beer anymore because it wouldnt do the job, just straight up rum. I somehow stumbled through my last semester of college and graduated but couldnt find a job. I would be working the same shit food job I had been at since high school, it only made me feel more hopeless about the future. My best friend joined the army and left for bootcamp, and that was the very last support I had. I got really drunk one night and drove, got lost, and made a turn too sharp accidently, flipped my car and went to the hospital. If I wasn't wearing my seatbelt (which is a miracle too, since I was about 50/50 on wearing it), there is no doubt in my mind that I wouldve been killed. I walked away with only minor injuries. I was bloody as hell from crawling over broken glass to get out of the car, but I was just thankful I was the only one hurt in the mess. Needless to say, I went to the hospital and after getting out of the ER I immediately checked in the a mental health ward to get my life in order. I'm learning slowly how to deal with life. I quit drinking (havent had a drink since that night), I was blessed with getting a great job, and have had a special woman enter my life. I'm really grateful all the opportunities and understanding that people have given me since the incident. Dealing with the legal implications is the most depressing part of all of it, but live and learn I guess. The depression is something thats always there, and I'll always have to fight with. And thats okay. I'm just trying to take it one day at a time...

Thanks! I've just been reading around the posts here and it seems like a great community. Who knows, maybe I'll get hooked!

Hello all, I'm a 22 year old dude, recent college graduate, and long time fan of skydiving. It's something I've always wanted to do, if only once. Well, tomorrow its coming true! My old college roommates from sophmore year wanted to have a reunion and out of nowhere the idea to go skydiving came up. We all jumped on it, and its happening tomorrow. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous. But I'm VERY excited. I've been reading as much safety stuff as I can, but it seems for tandem there isn't a whole lot of advice. Anyone care to offer any? Thanks!
