heights

they say that you should do one thing a day that scares you. first of all, who is "they"? well, today i am going to jump out of a plane. note that i am deathly afraid of heights. yes, today my balls are going to get sucked into my stomach, cause there is real danger of death or becoming maimed in the event. when i tell people about my jump, some react with "that's awesome!" while more conservative folk reply by saying, "that's stupid. you could die." yes, but you could die at any time living in this crazy city. i don't know how many times i've almost been hit by a car as a pedestrian. walking through the shady parts of town at night is equally dangerous as jumping off a small plane, strapped to someone that is hopefully good looking. at any rate, my travel bug has gotten infinitely worse in the last few years and as a result, my risky side has as well. i'm hoping to have a life changing, philosophical awakening. adventure is out there!
